Two-dimensional time resolved measurements of toroidal velocity correlated with density blobs in magnetized plasmas.

چکیده
A new method for toroidal velocity measurements with Mach probes is presented. This technique is based on the conditional sampling technique, the triggering events being density blobs. A reconstruction of the time resolved two-dimensional profile of electron density, electron temperature, plasma potential, and toroidal velocity is possible with a single point measurement on a shot-to-shot basis.

Direct two-dimensional measurements of the field-aligned current associated with plasma blobs.
In simple magnetized toroidal plasmas, field-aligned blobs originate from ideal interchange waves and propagate radially outward under the effect of ∇B and curvature induced E×B drifts. We report on the first experimental two-dimensional measurements of the field-aligned current associated with blobs, whose ends terminate on a conducting limiter. A dipolar structure of the current density is me...
متن کاملBlob-induced toroidal momentum transport in simple magnetized plasmas
The link between toroidal flows and density blobs is experimentally demonstrated in TORPEX simple magnetized plasmas: momentum is transferred from an ideal-interchange mode to density blobs. The phase shift between the toroidal flow and the density perturbations observed in the interchange mode where the blob is born is conserved along the blob radial trajectory. This leads to dipolar structure...
متن کاملTurbulence and Transport in Simple Magnetized Toroidal Plasmas
Progress in understanding turbulence and related cross-field transport of fusion relevance is achieved in the simple magnetized plasmas of the TORPEX toroidal device, which provides an ideal test bed for code benchmarking and theory validation. In TORPEX (R = 1 m, a = 0.2 m), a small vertical magnetic field Bz< 4 mT is superposed on a toroidal magnetic field Bt < 100 mT, resulting in open helic...
متن کاملExperimental observation of the blob-generation mechanism from interchange waves in a plasma.
The mechanism for blob generation in a toroidal magnetized plasma is investigated using time-resolved measurements of two-dimensional structures of electron density, temperature, and plasma potential. The blobs are observed to form from a radially elongated structure that is sheared off by the E x B flow. The structure is generated by an interchange wave that increases in amplitude and extends ...
متن کاملIntermittent transport in edge plasmas
The properties of low-frequency convective fluctuations and transport are investigated for the boundary region of magnetized plasmas. We employ a two-dimensional fluid model for the evolution of the global plasma quantities in a geometry and with parameters relevant to the scrape-off layer of confined toroidal plasmas. Strongly intermittent plasma transport is regulated by self-consistently gen...
