Sheared-flow induced confinement transition in a linear magnetized plasma
A magnetized plasma cylinder (12 cm in diameter) is induced by an annular shape obstacle at the Large Plasma Device [W. Gekelman, H. Pfister, Z. Lucky, J. Bamber, D. Leneman, and J. Maggs, Rev. Sci. Instrum. 62, 2875 (1991)]. Sheared azimuthal flow is driven at the edge of the plasma cylinder through edge biasing. Strong fluctuations of density and potential (dn=n ed/=kTe 0:5) are observed at t...
متن کاملClassical impurity ion confinement in a toroidal magnetized fusion plasma.
High-resolution measurements of impurity ion dynamics provide first-time evidence of classical ion confinement in a toroidal, magnetically confined plasma. The density profile evolution of fully stripped carbon is measured in MST reversed-field pinch plasmas with reduced magnetic turbulence to assess Coulomb-collisional transport without the neoclassical enhancement from particle drift effects....
متن کاملEddy, drift wave and zonal flow dynamics in a linear magnetized plasma
Turbulence and its structure formation are universal in neutral fluids and in plasmas. Turbulence annihilates global structures but can organize flows and eddies. The mutual-interactions between flow and the eddy give basic insights into the understanding of non-equilibrium and nonlinear interaction by turbulence. In fusion plasma, clarifying structure formation by Drift-wave turbulence, driven...
متن کاملIntermittent turbulence and turbulent structures in a linear magnetized plasma
Strongly intermittent turbulence is observed in the shadow of a limiter in the large plasma device at UCLA W. Gekelman et al., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 62, 2875 1991 . The amplitude probability distribution function of the turbulence is strongly skewed, with density depletion events or “holes” dominant in the high-density region and density-enhancement events or “blobs” dominant in the low-density re...
