Reduced Electron Thermal Transport in Low Collisionality H-mode Plasmas in DIII-D and the Importance of Small-scale Turbulence
The first systematic investigation of core electron thermal transport and the role of local ion temperature gradient/trapped electron mode/electron temperature gradient (ITG/TEM/ETG)-scale core turbulence is performed in high temperature, low collisionality DIII-D H-mode plasmas. Taking advantage of the unique set of DIII-D turbulence and profile diagnostics, experimentally determined L-mode an...
متن کاملParticle transport in low-collisionality H-mode plasmas on DIII-D
In this paper we show that changing from an ion temperature gradient (ITG) to trapped electron mode (TEM) dominant turbulence regime (based on linear gyrokinetic simulations) results experimentally in a strong density pump-out in low collisionality, low power H-mode plasmas. We vary the turbulence drive by changing the heating from pre-dominantly ion heated using neutral beam injection Particle...

متن کاملNonlinear inward particle flux component in trapped electron mode turbulence
Trapped electron turbulence is shown to have a significant inward particle flux component associated with nonlinear deviations of the density-potential cross correlation from the quasilinear value. The cross correlation is altered because the density advection nonlinearity mixes a linearly stable eigenmode with the eigenmode of the instability. The full nonlinear flux is evaluated by solving sp...
متن کاملMechanisms for ITB Formation and Control in Alcator C-Mod Identified through Gyrokinetic Simulations of TEM Turbulence
Internal particle and thermal energy transport barriers are produced in Alcator C-Mod with off-axis ICRF heating, with core densities exceeding 10 21 m −3 , without core fueling, and with little change in the temperature profile. Applying on-axis ICRF heating controls the core density gradient and rate of rise. The present study employs linear and nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations of trapped el...
