Sawtooth control in ITER using ion cyclotron resonance heating
Numerical modelling of the effects of ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) on the stability of the internal kink mode suggests that ICRH should be considered as an essential sawtooth control tool in ITER. Sawtooth control using ICRH is achieved by directly affecting the energy of the internal kink mode rather than through modification of the magnetic shear by driving localized currents. Conse...
متن کاملIn Ion-cyclotron Resonance Heating
We determine the conditions under which the damping of the fast Alfven wave, used in the heating of tokamak plasmas, can be described by the geometrical optics approximations. Also, for these conditions, we derive an analytical formula which explicitly determines the amount of energy which is damped onto the plasma particles by the fast wave. The conditions for the validity of the geometrical o...
متن کاملIon Cyclotron Resonance Heating in The
Ion heating at the fundamental of the cyclotron resonance (1 M H z s 3 MHz) in a toroidal octupole magnetic field is found to be in good agreement with single particle, cold plasma theory at power levels PabrS 100 kW (E 5 100 Vlm) and ion temperatures kT, S 600 eV. Good penetration of the electric field is observed in the densest available plasmas (n7 x lo'* cmA3) with no evidence of parametric...
متن کاملSawtooth-control mechanism using toroidally propagating ion-cyclotron-resonance waves in tokamaks.
The sawtooth control mechanism in plasmas employing off-axis toroidally propagating ion cyclotron resonance waves in tokamaks is reinvestigated. The radial drift excursion of energetic passing ions distributed asymmetrically in the velocity parallel to the magnetic field determines stability when the rational q=1 surface resides within a narrow region centered about the shifted fundamental cycl...
