Electron fishbone dynamics studies in tokamaks using the XHMGC code
The electron fishbone modes are internal kink instabilities induced by suprathermal electrons. Ion fishbones were first observed experimentally (PDX) [1], opening the path to full theoretical understanding of these phenomena [4]. Stimulated by experimental evidence of electron fishbones (DIII-D, Compass-D, FTU, ToreSupra), theoretical analysis has also been extended to the case of modes excited...
متن کاملRobust Control of Resistive Wall Modes in Tokamak Plasmas Using Mu-Synthesis
Abstract: In this work, μ-synthesis is employed to stabilize a model of the resistive wall mode (RWM) instability in the DIII-D tokamak. The GA/Far-Tech DIII-D RWM model is used to derive a linear state space representation of the mode dynamics. The key term in the model characterizing the magnitude of the instability is the time-varying uncertain parameter cpp, which is related to the RWM grow...
متن کاملEX/P9-5 Comprehensive Control of Resistive Wall Modes in DIII-D Advanced Tokamak Plasmas
The resistive wall mode (RWM) and neoclassical tearing mode (NTM) have been simultaneously suppressed in the DIII-D for durations over 2 seconds at beta values 20% above the no-wall limit with modest electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) and low plasma rotation. The critical plasma rotation was significantly lower than reported at the IAEA FEC in 2006. However, even in this stabilized regime,...
متن کاملModeling of Feedback and Rotation Stabilization of the Resistive Wall Mode in Tokamaks
This paper describes the modeling of the feedback control and rotational stabilization of the resistive wall mode (RWM) in tokamaks. A normal mode theory for the feedback stabilization of the RWM has been developed for an ideal plasma with no toroidal rotation. This theory has been numerically implemented for general tokamak geometry and applied to the DIII-D tokamak. It is found that feedback ...
متن کاملActive Feedback Control of Kink Modes in Tokamaks: 3D VALEN Modeling and HBT-EP Experiments*
Significant progress in the development of active feedback control as a robust technique for the suppression of the wall stabilized external kink or resistive wall mode (RWM) in tokamaks has been achieved through a combination of modeling and experiments. Results from the application and benchmarking of the 3D feedback modeling code VALEN [1] as the primary analysis and feedback design tool on ...
