Linear and Nonlinear Properties of Geodesic Acoustic Mode and Beta-induced Alfvén Eigenmode
Global gyrokinetic toroidal code (GTC) is used to study the low-frequency modes in tokamaks including geodesic acoustic mode (GAM) and beta-induced Alfvén eigenmode (BAE). GAM and BAE have the same frequency due to the geodesic curvature and thermal particle compressibility in toroidal plasmas. Important new insights include: the collisionless damping rate of the GAM is greatly enhanced by trap...

متن کاملLinear properties of reversed shear Alfvén eigenmodes in the DIII-D tokamak
Linear properties of the reverse shear Alfvén eigenmode (RSAE) in a well-diagnosed DIII-D tokamak experiment (discharge #142111) are studied in gyrokinetic particle simulations. Simulations find that a weakly damped RSAE exists due to toroidal coupling and other geometric effects. The mode is driven unstable by density gradients of fast ions from neutral beam injection. Various damping and driv...
متن کاملAn extended hybrid magnetohydrodynamics gyrokinetic model for numerical simulation of shear Alfvén waves in burning plasmas
Adopting the theoretical framework for the generalized fishbonelike dispersion relation, an extended hybrid magnetohydrodynamics gyrokinetic simulation model has been derived analytically by taking into account both thermal ion compressibility and diamagnetic effects in addition to energetic particle kinetic behaviors. The extended model has been used for implementing an extended version of hyb...
متن کاملGyrokinetic df simulation of the collisionless and semicollisional tearing mode instability
The evolution of collisionless and semicollisional tearing mode instabilities is studied using an electromagnetic gyrokinetic df particle-in-cell simulation model. Drift-kinetic electrons are used. Linear eigenmode analysis is presented for the case of fixed ions and there is excellent agreement with simulation. A double peaked eigenmode structure is seen indicative of a positive D8. Nonlinear ...
