Non-Physical Momentum Sources in Slab Geometry Gyrokinetics

چکیده
We investigate momentum transport in the Hamiltonian electrostatic gyrokinetic formulation in Dubin D H E et al [1983 Phys. Fluids 26 3524]. We prove that the long wavelength electric field obtained from the gyrokinetic quasineutrality introduces a non-physical momentum source in the low flow ordering.

Fourier space design of high-Q cavities in standard and compressed hexagonal lattice photonic crystals.
Building upon the results of recent work [1], we use momentum space design rules to investigate high quality factor (Q) optical cavities in standard and compressed hexagonal lattice photonic crystal (PC) slab waveguides. Beginning with the standard hexagonal lattice, the results of a symmetry analysis are used to determine a cavity geometry that produces a mode whose symmetry immediately leads ...
متن کاملTwo-fluid magnetic island dynamics in slab geometry: Determination of the island phase velocity
The physics which determines the phase-velocity of a comparatively wide, isolated, magnetic island, formed as a result of a nonlinear tearing instability in a magnetic confinement device relying on the existence of nested magnetic flux surfaces, is investigated using a two-fluid model in slab geometry. It is found that the phase velocity is fixed by momentum transport across the magnetic flux s...
متن کاملTransport of momentum in full f gyrokinetics
Full f gyrokinetic formulations employ two gyrokinetic equations, one for ions and the other for electrons, and quasineutrality to obtain the ion and electron distribution functions and the electrostatic potential. This article shows with several examples that the long wavelength radial electric field obtained with full f approaches is extremely sensitive to errors in the ion and electron densi...
متن کاملMomentum space design of high-Q photonic crystal optical cavities.
The design of high quality factor (Q) optical cavities in two dimensional photonic crystal (PC) slab waveguides based upon a momentum space picture is presented. The results of a symmetry analysis of defect modes in hexagonal and square host photonic lattices are used to determine cavity geometries that produce modes which by their very symmetry reduce the vertical radiation loss from the PC sl...
متن کاملTurbulent Transport of Toroidal Angular Momentum in Low Flow Gyrokinetics
We derive a self-consistent equation for the turbulent transport of toroidal angular momentum in tokamaks in the low flow ordering that only requires solving gyrokinetic Fokker-Planck and quasineutrality equations correct to second order in an expansion on the gyroradius over scale length. We also show that according to our orderings the long wavelength toroidal rotation and the long wavelength...
