Indirect measurement of poloidal rotation using inboard–outboard asymmetry of toroidal rotation and comparison with neoclassical predictions
An alternative experimental spectroscopic measurement of poloidal plasma rotation in toroidally confined plasmas is proven effective in the TCV tokamak. Charge exchange recombination measurements of the toroidal rotation profile over the full mid-plane plasma diameter are used to infer the complete bi-dimensional flow structure of the intrinsic C6+ impurity, which includes its poloidal componen...
متن کاملPoloidal rotation driven by nonlinear momentum transport in strong electrostatic turbulence
Virtually, all existing theoretical works on turbulent poloidal momentum transport are based on quasilinear theory. Nonlinear poloidal momentum flux 〈ṽrñṽθ〉 is universally neglected. However, in the strong turbulence regime where relative fluctuation amplitude is no longer small, quasilinear theory is invalid. This is true at the all-important plasma edge. In this work, nonlinear poloidal momen...
متن کاملTH/P4-11 Vortex nucleation in strongly sheared poloidal rotation and effects on velocity saturation and generation of ELM modes
The vorticity field in tokamak evolves to self organization and is concentrated in a narrow layer at the edge. The particle density and the current density have local maxima on the same layer, leading to destabilization of the rotation, breaking up of the layer and filamentation. We propose this as a basic model for the Edge Localized Modes. Large scale vorticity is injected in tokamak plasma v...
متن کاملNeoclassical calculation of poloidal rotation and poloidal density asymmetries in tokamaks
A previous model for the calculation of poloidal velocities and poloidal density asymmetries in the core of a tokamak plasma is refined and extended by the inclusion of terms which are important for the calculation of these quantities in the plasma edge. Agreement of predictions of the model with experiment is demonstrated. The effects of edge pressure gradient, collisionality, neutral density ...
متن کاملRelativistic Dynamos in Magnetospheres of Rotating Compact Objects
The kinematic evolution of axisymmetric magnetic fields in rotating magnetospheres of relativistic compact objects is analytically studied, based on relativistic Ohm’s law in stationary axisymmetric geometry. By neglecting the poloidal flows of plasma in simplified magnetospheric models, we discuss self-excited dynamos due to the frame-dragging effect (originally pointed out by Khanna & Camenzi...
