Characterization of onset of parametric decay instability of lower hybrid waves
The goal of the lower hybrid current drive (LHCD) program on Alcator C-Mod is to develop and optimize ITERrelevant steady-state plasmas by controlling the current density profile. Using a 4x16 waveguide array, over 1 MW of LH power at 4.6 GHz has been successfully coupled to the plasmas. However, current drive efficiency precipitously drops as the line averaged density (ne) increases above 1020...
متن کاملElectromagnetic particle simulation of the linear mode conversion and the nonlinear parametric decay instability of lower hybrid waves in tokamaks
In plasma simulations where the speed of light times a characteristic length is at a much higher frequency than the relevant parameters in the system, such as the plasma frequency, implicit methods begin to play an important role in generating e cient solutions in these multi-scale problems. Under conditions of scale separation, one can rescale Maxwell’s equations in such a way as to give a mag...
متن کاملNear-inertial parametric subharmonic instability
New analytic estimates of the rate at which parametric subharmonic instability (PSI) transfers energy to high-vertical-wavenumber near-inertial oscillations are presented. These results are obtained by a heuristic argument which provides insight into the physical mechanism of PSI, and also by a systematic application of the method of multiple time scales to the Boussinesq equations linearized a...
متن کاملThe Chaos Control in Parametric Decay Instability of Stimulated Backscattering by a Pump Frequency Modulation
Over the past decade, the problem of chaos controlling in plasmas attracted significant attention due to the importance of this topic for many processes in plasma physics [1-3]. In addition to the general interest of this subject the studies were motivated by the possibility of reduction of the anomalous transport, associated with plasma turbulent phenomena. It is well known that almost all sys...
