UW-CPTC 08-7R Toroidal flow and radial particle flux in tokamak plasmas
Many effects influence toroidal flow evolution in tokamak plasmas. Momentum sources and radial transport due to collisional processes and microturbulence-induced anomalous transport are usually considered. In addition, toroidal flow can be affected by non-axisymmetric magnetic fields; resonant components cause localized electromagnetic toroidal torques near rational surfaces in flowing plasmas ...
متن کاملAnalysis on Centrifugal Load Effect in FG Hollow Sphere Subjected to Magnetic Field
This paper presents the effect of centrifugal load in functionally graded (FG) hollow sphere subjected to uniform magnetic field. Analytical solution for stresses and perturbation of the magnetic field vector are determined using the direct method and the power series method. The material stiffness, the magnetic permeability and the density vary continuously across the thickness direction accor...
متن کاملDynamics of tilted eddies in a transversal flow at the edge of tokamak plasmas and consequences for L-H transition
The dynamical interaction between eddies and shear flow is investigated through a simplified model of vorticity conservation with tilted eddies. Energy is transfered either to the flow or to eddies, depending on the eddy tilt with respect to the flow shear. When eddies are tilted in the shear direction, the system is favorable to shear increase: tilt instability or negative viscosity phenomenon...
متن کاملNeoclassical radial current balance in tokamaks and transition to the H mode
Monte Carlo ion simulation based on neoclassical radial current balance in a divertor tokamak gives a stationary sheared E-->xB--> flow. The neoclassical radial electric field E(r) shows no bifurcation in contrast with earlier orbit loss models, but the shear in E(r) reaches values at which a transition to enhanced confinement has been observed. Also, MHD turbulence analysis shows that a smooth...
متن کاملThe Radial Electric Field in a Tokamak with Reversed Magnetic Shear
Neoclassical theory with the impurity rotational velocity is used to evaluate the radial electric field, Er, in tokamaks. The result of using the complete matrix method for the deuterium-carbon plasma is compared with a reduced analytic formula for determining Er [Ernst et al., (1998)]. The analytic formula is shown to overestimate the Er magnitude and its gradient. Two transport measures of th...
