Plasma Internal Inductance in Presence of Toroidal Field Ripple of Tokamak
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this research we investigated the effects of toroidal field ripple of tokamak on the plasma internal inductance. For this purpose, array of magnetic probes and also a diamagnetic loop with its compensation coil were designed, constructed, and installed on outer surface of the IR-T1 tokamak. Amplitude of the TF ripple is obtained 0.01, and also the effect of the TF ripple on the plasma internal inductance was discussed. In the high field side region of tokamak chamber, the TF ripple effect is increasing of the plasma internal inductance, whereas the low field side has inverse situation.

Study on Poloidal and Toroidal Electric Field Generations by Electron Cyclotron Heating in a Helical Plasma
Poloidal and toroidal electric fields generated by electron cyclotron heating are studied in a helical plasma. A linearized Fokker-Planck equation is solved by the adjoint method, assuming a helically symmetric configuration for simplicity. It is found that the poloidal and toroidal electric fields are generated near the bottom of the magnetic ripple, and that the larger radial flux is enhanced...
متن کاملToroidal Rotation Pro�les under the In�uence of Fast-ion Losses Due to Toroidal Field Ripple
Characteristics of toroidal rotation pro�les in tokamak plasmas are studied under the in�uence of fast-ion losses due to a toroidal �eld (TF) ripple by using a one-dimensional multi-�uid transport code, TASK/TX. When a neutral beam (NB) is injected into a plasma, a part of fast ions is lost due to the effect of the TF ripple. The radial current then �ows inward in the bulk plasma to keep quasi-...

متن کاملParametric Study of Equilibrium and Stability Analysis of HT-6M Tokamak in the Presence of Flow
It is experimentally observed that tokamak plasmas exhibits macroscopic flow in the toroidal and poloidal directions. Both the flow can considerably change the equilibrium parameters of tokamak. Equilibrium of HT-6M is revisited as a case study and its equilibrium parameters are simulated in the presence of toroidal and poloidal flows with the FLOW Code developed by L. Guazzotto at that Univers...
