چکیده

Pulses having a temporal Lorentzian shape arise naturally from topological changes in flow trajectories or phase-space orbits associated with deterministic chaos. The pulses can appear as random intermittent events in the time series of observable quantities, and they are the cause of exponential frequency power spectra previously observed in magnetically confined plasmas and various nonlinear systems.

Generality of deterministic chaos, exponential spectra, and Lorentzian pulses in magnetically confined plasmas.

The dynamics of transport at the edge of magnetized plasmas is deterministic chaos. The connection is made by a previous survey [M. A. Pedrosa et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 3621 (1999)] of measurements of fluctuations that is shown to exhibit power spectra with exponential frequency dependence over a broad range, which is the signature of deterministic chaos. The exponential character arises fro...

Exponential power spectra, deterministic chaos and Lorentzian pulses in plasma edge dynamics

Exponential spectra have been observed in the edges of tokamaks, stellarators, helical devices and linear machines. The observation of exponential power spectra is significant because such a spectral character has been closely associated with the phenomenon of deterministic chaos by the nonlinear dynamics community. The proximate cause of exponential power spectra in both magnetized plasma edge...

Deterministic Chaos in Alcator C - Mod Edge

Understanding the underlying dynamics of turbulence in magnetic confinement fusion experiments is extremely important. Turbulence greatly reduces the confinement time of these devices and therefore greater knowledge of turbulent dynamics can help with its mitigation. Experiments from the Alcator C-Mod tokamak [18] provide support for a theory that edge turbulence in tokamak fusion plasmas is th...

River Discharge Time Series Prediction by Chaos Theory

The application of chaos theory in hydrology has been gaining considerable interest in recent years.Based on the chaos theory, the random seemingly series can be attributed to deterministic rules. Thedynamic structures of the seemingly complex processes, such as river flow variations, might be betterunderstood using nonlinear deterministic chaotic models than the stochastic ones. In this paper,...

Exponential frequency spectrum in magnetized plasmas.

Measurements of a magnetized plasma with a controlled electron temperature gradient show the development of a broadband spectrum of density and temperature fluctuations having an exponential frequency dependence at frequencies below the ion cyclotron frequency. The origin of the exponential frequency behavior is traced to temporal pulses of Lorentzian shape. Similar exponential frequency spectr...
