How the propagation of heat-flux modulations triggers E × B flow pattern formation.
We propose a novel mechanism to describe E×B flow pattern formation based upon the dynamics of propagation of heat-flux modulations. The E × B flows of interest are staircases, which are quasiregular patterns of strong, localized shear layers and profile corrugations interspersed between regions of avalanching. An analogy of staircase formation to jam formation in traffic flow is used to develo...
متن کاملFull-f gyrokinetic turbulence simulation for ITB formation
Profile stiffness is a long standing problem, which may limit the overall performance of H-mode plasmas. In the JET experiment, while strong temperature profile stiffness is observed around the nonlinear threshold of ion temperature gradient, it can be greatly reduced by co-current toroidal rotation in weak magnetic shear plasma [1]. To understand such a mitigation mechanism of the stiffness, w...
متن کاملAn Analytical Approach to the Effect of Viscous Dissipation on Shear-Driven Flow between two parallel plates with Constant Heat Flux Boundary Conditions
An investigation has been made to analyze the effects of viscous dissipation on the heat transfer characteristics for both hydro-dynamically and thermally fully developed, laminar shear driven flow between two infinitely long parallel plates, where the upper plate is moving in an axial direction at a constant speed. On the basis of some routine assumptions made in the literature, a close form a...
متن کاملA simple shear-free non-singular spherical model with heat flux
We obtain an exact simple solution of the Einstein equation describing a spherically symmetric cosmological model without the bigbang or any other kind of singularity. The matter content of the model is shear free isotropic fluid with radial heat flux and it satisfies the weak and strong energy conditions. It is pressure gradient combined with heat flux that prevents occurrence of singularity. ...
متن کاملAvalanchelike bursts in global gyrokinetic simulations
Highly variable flux surface averaged heat fluxes are resolved in gyrokinetic simulations of ion temperature gradient ITG turbulence, even in large systems. Radially propagating fronts or avalanches are also seen. Their propagation lengths in gyroradii and relative amplitude remain constant as simulation size is increased, so the avalanches appear to result from local dynamics, rather than glob...
