Equilibrium Reconstruction from Discrete Magnetic Measurements in a Tokamak
We describe an algorithm for the reconstruction of the equilibrium in a Tokamak from discrete magnetic measurements. In order to solve this inverse problem we first use toroidal harmonics to compute Cauchy boundary conditions on a fixed closed contour. Then we use these Cauchy boundary conditions to solve a non-linear source identification problem.
متن کاملTokamak plasma boundary reconstruction using toroidal harmonics and an optimal control method
This paper proposes a new fast and stable algorithm for the reconstruction of the plasma boundary from discrete magnetic measurements taken at several locations surrounding the vacuum vessel. The resolution of this inverse problem takes two steps. In the first one we transform the set of measurements into Cauchy conditions on a fixed contour ΓO close to the measurement points. This is done by l...
متن کاملParametric Study of Equilibrium and Stability Analysis of HT-6M Tokamak in the Presence of Flow
It is experimentally observed that tokamak plasmas exhibits macroscopic flow in the toroidal and poloidal directions. Both the flow can considerably change the equilibrium parameters of tokamak. Equilibrium of HT-6M is revisited as a case study and its equilibrium parameters are simulated in the presence of toroidal and poloidal flows with the FLOW Code developed by L. Guazzotto at that Univers...
متن کاملEffects of a weakly 3-D equilibrium on ideal MHD instabilities
The effect of a small three-dimensional equilibrium distortion on an otherwise axisymmetric configuration is shown to be destabilizing to ideal MHD modes. The calculations assumes that the 3-D fields are weak and that shielding physics is present so that no islands appear in the resulting equilibrium. An eigenfunction that has coupled harmonics of different toroidal mode number is constructed u...
متن کاملLocked Magnetic Islands Chains in Toroidally Flow Damped Tokamak Plasmas
The physics of a locked magnetic island chain maintained in the pedestal of an H-mode tokamak plasma by a static, externally generated, multi-harmonic, helical magnetic perturbation is investigated. The non-resonant harmonics of the external perturbation are assumed to give rise to significant toroidal flow damping in the pedestal, in addition to the naturally occurring poloidal flow damping. F...
