Transport Properties of Finite-β Microturbulence
Via nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations, microturbulent transport is investigated for electromagnetic Trapped Electron Mode (TEM) and Ion Temperature Gradient (ITG) tokamak core turbulence with β up to and beyond the Kinetic Ballooning Mode (KBM) threshold. Deviations from linear expectations are explained by zonal flow activity in the TEM case. For the ITG scenario, β-induced changes are observe...
متن کاملGlobal simulations of tokamak microturbulence: finite-β effects and collisions
In this paper, we present global nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations including finite βe effects and collisions in tokamak geometry. Global electromagnetic simulations using conventional δf particle in cell methods are very demanding, with respect to numerical resources, in order to correctly describe the evolution of the non-adiabatic part of the electron distribution function. This difficulty h...
متن کاملEvidence for fast-ion transport by microturbulence.
Cross-field diffusion of energetic ions by microturbulence is measured during neutral-beam injection into the DIII-D tokamak. Fast-ion D(alpha), neutron, and motional Stark effect measurements diagnose the fast-ion distribution function. As expected for transport by plasma turbulence, anomalies relative to the classical prediction are greatest in high temperature plasmas, at low fast-ion energy...
متن کاملOrigin of magnetic stochasticity and transport in plasma microturbulence.
Nonlinear excitation of linearly stable microtearing modes--with zonal modes acting as a catalyst--is shown to be responsible for the near-ubiquitous magnetic stochasticity and associated electromagnetic electron heat transport in electromagnetic gyrokinetic simulations of plasma microturbulence.
