Trapped electron mode turbulence driven intrinsic rotation in Tokamak plasmas.
Progress from global gyrokinetic simulations in understanding the origin of intrinsic rotation in toroidal plasmas is reported. The turbulence-driven intrinsic torque associated with nonlinear residual stress generation due to zonal flow shear induced asymmetry in the parallel wave number spectrum is shown to scale close to linearly with plasma gradients and the inverse of the plasma current, q...
متن کاملVerification of electromagnetic fluid-kinetic hybrid electron model in global gyrokinetic particle simulation
The fluid-kinetic hybrid electron model is verified in global gyrokinetic particle simulation of linear electromagnetic drift-Alfv enic instabilities in tokamak. In particular, we have recovered the b-stabilization of the ion temperature gradient mode, transition to collisionless trapped electron mode, and the onset of kinetic ballooning mode as be (ratio of electron kinetic pressure to magneti...
متن کاملDrift Ballooning Instabilities in Tokamak Edge Plasmas
The linear stability of high-toroidal-number drift-ballooning modes in tokamaks is investigated with a model that includes resistive and viscous dissipation, and assumes the mode frequency to be comparable to both the sound and diamagnetic frequencies. The coupled effect of ion drift waves and electron drift-acoustic waves is shown to be important, resulting in destabilization over an intermedi...
متن کاملKinetic and Fluid Ballooning Stability with Anisotropic Energetic Electron Layers
A kinetic ballooning mode theory is developed from the gyrokinetic equation in the frequency range for which the ions are fluid, the thermal electron response is adiabatic and the hot electrons are non-interacting due to their large drift velocity. Trapped particle effects are ignored. The application of the quasineutrality condition together with the parallel and binormal components of Ampere’...
متن کاملElectron firehose instability: Kinetic linear theory and two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations
[1] The kinetic electron firehose instability (EFI) is thought to be a crucial mechanism for constraining the observed electron anisotropy in expanding astrophysical plasmas, such as the solar wind. The EFI arises in a bi-Maxwellian plasma when the parallel temperature is greater than the perpendicular one, and its effect is to reduce anisotropy. We study this mechanism via kinetic linear theor...
