چکیده
Considering a Hamiltonian Dynamical System describing the motion of charged particle in a Tokamak or a Stellarator, we build a change of coordinates to reduce its dimension. This change of coordinates is in fact an intricate succession of mappings that are built using Hyperbolic Partial Differential Equations, Differential Geometry, Hamiltonian Dynamical System Theory and Symplectic Geometry, Lie Transforms and a new tool which is here introduced : Partial Lie Sums.

Interchange modes in a collisional plasma
Gross plasma stability can derive from plasma compressibility in the bad curvature regions of closed field line systems. In this situation magnetohydrodynamic ~MHD! theory predicts that the maximum pressure gradient that is stable is proportional to g , the ratio of specific heats. This article will examine the accuracy of the MHD prediction for electrostatic interchange modes using kinetic the...
متن کاملQuantitative Comparisons of DIII–D Turbulence Measurements to Gyro-Kinetic and Gyro-Fluid Turbulence Simulations
Experimental turbulence and transport characteristics in DIII–D plasmas have been compared with similar quantities calculated from gyro-kinetic and gyro-fluid turbulence simulations. Turbulent radial correlation lengths ∆r from DIII–D L–mode plasmas scale as 5 to 10 ρs (ρs = ion gyro-radius evaluated using the electron temperature) and are independent of the poloidal magnetic field. Comparisons...
متن کاملGrowing drift-cyclotron modes in the hot solar atmosphere
Well-known analytical results dealing with ion cyclotron and drift waves and which follow from the kinetic theory are used and the dispersion equation, which describes coupled two modes, is solved numerically. The numerical results obtained by using the values for the plasma density, magnetic field and temperature applicable to the solar corona clearly show the coupling and the instability (gro...
متن کاملModes and quasi-modes for m=1,2 in a gyrokinetic model for a non-neutral plasma
Modes and quasi-modes for mϭ1,2 are studied in a gyro-kinetic model for a pure-electron plasma. Only z-independent perturbations are considered. Numerical methods are used to solve the relevant differential equations for smooth, analytic density profiles. Different temperatures and representative profiles are considered and comparison is made with the familiar cold fluid model from which the re...
متن کاملA Simple Observer for Gyro and Accelerometer Biases in Land Navigation Systems
In various applications of land vehicle navigation and automatic guidance systems, Global Navigation Satellite System/Inertial Measurement Unit (GNSS/IMU) positioning performance crucially depends on the attitude determination accuracy affected by gyro and accelerometer bias instabilities. Traditional bias estimation approaches based on the Kalman filter suffer from implementation complexity an...
