Turbulent momentum transport due to neoclassical flows
Intrinsic toroidal rotation in a tokamak can be driven by turbulent momentum transport due to neoclassical flow effects breaking a symmetry of turbulence. In this paper we categorize the contributions due to neoclassical effects to the turbulent momentum transport, and evaluate each contribution using gyrokinetic simulations. We find that the relative importance of each contribution changes wit...
متن کاملElectromagnetic effects on toroidal momentum transport
A parametric study of electromagnetic effects on toroidal momentum transport has been performed. The work is based on a new version of the Weiland model where symmetry breaking toroidicity effects derived from the stress tensor have been taken into account. The model includes a self-consistent calculation of the toroidal momentum diffusivity, which contains both diagonal and off-diagonal contri...
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 کاملTransport of parallel momentum by collisionless drift wave turbulence
This paper presents a novel, unified approach to the theory of turbulent transport of parallel momentum by collisionless drift waves. The physics of resonant and nonresonant off-diagonal contributions to the momentum flux is emphasized, and collisionless momentum exchange between waves and particles is accounted for. Two related momentum conservation theorems are derived. These relate the reson...
متن کاملTH-C/P8-44 Interaction between Turbulence and Neoclassical Dynamics and Its Effect on Tokamak Transport: Gyrokinetic Simulations and Theory
Abstract. The relationship between momentum and energy transport is investigated with focus on understanding recent experimental observations, using global gyrokinetic simulations with proper coupling between turbulence and neoclassical dynamics. First, a large inward flux of toroidal momentum is found robustly in the post saturation phase of ion temperature gradient (ITG) turbulence. As a cons...
