On The Confinement of a Tokamak Plasma
The goal of this paper is to understand from a mathematical point of view the magnetic confinement of plasmas for fusion. Following Frénod and Sonnendrücker [7], we first use two-scale convergence tools to derive a gyrokinetic system for a plasma submitted to a large magnetic field with a slowly spatially varying intensity. We formally derive from this system a simplified bi-temperature fluid s...
متن کاملTransport bifurcation in a rotating tokamak plasma.
The effect of flow shear on turbulent transport in tokamaks is studied numerically in the experimentally relevant limit of zero magnetic shear. It is found that the plasma is linearly stable for all nonzero flow shear values, but that subcritical turbulence can be sustained nonlinearly at a wide range of temperature gradients. Flow shear increases the nonlinear temperature gradient threshold fo...
متن کاملPlasma Rotation and Transport in the MAST Spherical Tokamak
The formation of internal transport barriers (ITBs) is investigated in MAST spherical tokamak (ST) plasmas. The roles of E×B flow shear, q-profile (magnetic shear) and MHD activity in their formation and evolution are studied using data from high-resolution kineticand q-profile diagnostics. In L-mode plasmas, with co-current directed NBI heating, ITBs in the momentum and ion thermal channels fo...
متن کاملAnomalous transport of particles in plasma physics
We investigate the long time/small mean-free-path asymptotic behavior of the solutions of a Vlasov-Lévy-Fokker-Planck equation and show that the asymptotic dynamics for the VLFP are described by an anomalous diffusion equation.
متن کاملComputation of electromagnetic turbulence and anomalous transport mechanisms in tokamak plasmas
The basic scales of motion and computational requirements for low frequency fluid drift turbulence are summarised in tutorial fashion. Basic signatures for each of the competing eigenmode types are given, some of which are accessible experimentally. The emphasis is on edge turbulence since it is less intuitive. The difference in physical mechanism between linear instabilities and fully develope...
