Temporal And Spatial Turbulent Spectra Of MHD Plasma And An Observation Of Variance Anisotropy
The nature of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence is analyzed through both temporal and spatial magnetic fluctuation spectra. A magnetically turbulent plasma is produced in the MHD wind tunnel configuration of the Swarthmore Spheromak Experiment. The power of magnetic fluctuations is projected into directions perpendicular and parallel to a local mean field; the ratio of these quantities shows...
متن کاملLifetime estimate for plasma turbulence
A method is proposed to experimentally determine the intrinsic time scale or a decay rate of turbulent fluctuations. The method is based on the assumption that the Breit-Wigner spectrum model with a non-Gaussian frequency broadening is valid in the data analysis. The decay rate estimate is applied to the multi-spacecraft magnetic field data in interplanetary space, yielding that the result that...
متن کاملGyrokinetic turbulence : a nonlinear route to dissipation through phase space
This paper describes a conceptual framework for understanding kinetic plasma turbulence as a generalized form of energy cascade in phase space. It is emphasized that conversion of turbulent energy into thermodynamic heat is only achievable in the presence of some (however small) degree of collisionality. The smallness of the collision rate is compensated by the emergence of small-scale structur...
متن کاملCross-Scale Interactions between Electron and Ion Scale Turbulence in a Tokamak Plasma.
Multiscale gyrokinetic turbulence simulations with the real ion-to-electron mass ratio and β value are realized for the first time, where the β value is given by the ratio of plasma pressure to magnetic pressure and characterizes electromagnetic effects on microinstabilities. Numerical analysis at both the electron scale and the ion scale is used to reveal the mechanism of their cross-scale int...
متن کاملCharacterization and parametric dependencies of low wavenumber pedestal turbulence in the National Spherical Torus Experiment
The spherical torus edge region is among the most challenging regimes for plasma turbulence simulations. Here, we measure the spatial and temporal properties of ion-scale turbulence in the steep gradient region of H-mode pedestals during edge localized mode-free, MHD quiescent periods in the National Spherical Torus Experiment. Poloidal correlation lengths are about 10 qi, and decorrelation tim...
