Coupled Radial and Thermal Fluctuations of Ignited Tokamak Plasmas*
The coupling between radial motion and tcmperature fluctuations of an ignited D-T tokamak plasma are studied using a onc-dimensional transport model. The energy balance equations are linearized about the thermal equilibrium (i.e., ignition) point and an eigenvalue analysis is used to determine the growth rate of perturbations. If the density dynamics are relatively slow, it is found that thcre ...
متن کاملSelf-consistent Langmuir waves in resonantly driven thermal plasmas
The longitudinal dynamics of a resonantly driven Langmuir wave are analyzed in the limit that the growth of the electrostatic wave is slow compared to the bounce frequency. Using simple physical arguments, the nonlinear distribution function is shown to be nearly invariant in the canonical particle action, provided both a spatially uniform term and higher-order spatial harmonics are included al...
متن کاملResonance cone interaction with a self-consistent radio-frequency sheath.
We study the propagation of lower-hybrid-type resonance cones in a tenuous magnetized plasma, and, in particular, their interaction with, and reflection from, the plasma sheath near a conducting wall. The sheath is modeled as a vacuum gap whose width is given by the Child-Langmuir law. The application of interest is when the resonance cones are launched (parasitically) by an ion-cyclotron radio...
متن کاملSelf-consistent equilibrium calculation through a direct variational technique in tokamak plasmas
A self-consistent equilibrium calculation, valid for arbitrary aspect ratio tokamaks, is obtained through a direct variational technique that reduces the equilibrium solution, in general obtained from the 2D Grad–Shafranov equation, to a 1D problem in the radial flux coordinateρ. The plasma current profile is supposed to have contributions of the diamagnetic, Pfirsch–Schlüter and the neoclassic...
متن کاملSelf-Consistent Fokker-Planck Treatment Of Particle Distributions in Astrophysical Plasmas
High-energy, multi-component plasmas in which pair creation and annihilation, leptonlepton scattering, lepton-proton scattering, and Comptonization all contribute to establishing the particle and photon distributions, are present in a broad range of compact astrophysical objects. The different constituents are often not in equilibrium with each other, and this mixture of interacting particles a...
