Nonlinear Dynamics of Transport Barrier Relaxations in Fusion Plasmas
Relaxation oscillations of transport barriers are studied by three dimensional turbulence simulations. Barriers generated by an imposed ExB shear flow are found to relax intermittently on confinement time scales, even when fluctuations of the ExB shear flow are suppressed. A relaxation event has a complex dynamical behavior, characterized by the intermittent growth of a mode at the barrier cent...
متن کاملSolvent mode participation in the non-radiative relaxation of the hydrated electron
Non-adiabatic molecular dynamics simulations are used to analyze the role of different solvent degrees of freedom in the non-radiative relaxation of the first excited state of the hydrated electron. The relaxation occurs through a multi-mode coupling between the adiabatic electronic states. The process cannot be described by a single mode promotion model frequently used in the “large molecule” ...
متن کاملImpact of hydrogen fuelling on confinement properties in radiative improved mode
The radiative improved (RI) mode at TEXTOR is a high confinement regime, which is obtained by the seeding of neon into deuterium plasmas. Recent experiments were aimed to study the influence of external gas fuelling on the confinement properties of the RI mode. In particular, it was found that a hydrogen puff into such plasmas leads to lower confinement compared with the discharges fuelled with...
متن کاملThe Role of Interfacial Fluctuations and Self-Concentration on the Segmental Dynamics of Block Copolymer Melts
Block copolymers spontaneously self-assemble into well defined structures with variable geometry (spherical, cylindrical, lamellar etc) depending on the chemical details (molecular structure, composition etc) and external conditions such as temperature and pressure. It is of significant interest to understand how this structure formation, typical in the range of some tenths to hundreds of nanom...
متن کاملMicroscopic mechanisms of laser ablation of organic solids in the thermal and stress confinement irradiation regimes
The results of large-scale molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate that the mechanisms responsible for material ejection as well as most of the parameters of the ejection process have a strong dependence on the rate of the laser energy deposition. For longer laser pulses, in the regime of thermal confinement, a phase explosion of the overheated material is responsible for the collective mate...
