چکیده

Magnetic field fluctuation-induced particle transport has been directly measured in the high-temperature core of the MST reversed field pinch plasma. Measurement of radial particle transport is achieved by combining various interferometry techniques, including Faraday rotation, conventional interferometry, and differential interferometry. It is observed that electron convective particle flux and its divergence exhibit a significant increase during a sawtooth crash. In this paper, we describe the basic techniques employed to determine the particle flux.

Magnetic-fluctuation-induced particle transport and density relaxation in a high-temperature plasma.

The first direct measurement of magnetic-fluctuation-induced particle flux in the core of a high-temperature plasma is reported. Transport occurs due to magnetic field fluctuations associated with global tearing instabilities. The electron particle flux, resulting from the correlated product of electron density and radial magnetic fluctuations, accounts for density profile relaxation during a m...

Particle Transport and Electron Density Relaxation due to Stochastic Magnetic Fields in the MST Reversed Field Pinch

Particle transport and its effect on the plasma density distribution remains an important, unresolved issue in magnetic fusion plasmas [1]. Fluctuating magnetic fields can arise from global tearing instabilities that often underlie the sawtooth oscillation [2] and lead to plasma relaxation [3]. Furthermore, magnetic fluctuations are also generated by energetic particles associated with non-indu...

UW-CPTC 09-11R Transport equations in tokamak plasmas

Tokamak plasma transport equations are usually obtained by flux surface averaging the collisional Braginskii equations. However, tokamak plasmas are not in collisional regimes. Also, ad hoc terms are added for: neoclassical effects on the parallel Ohm’s law; fluctuation-induced transport; heating, current-drive and flow sources and sinks; small magnetic field non-axisymmetries; magnetic field t...

Comparative Harmonic Loss Measurement of Grain Oriented and Non-oriented Magnetic Sheets Using a High Precision Single Sheet Tester

 Abstract: Local flux may be distorted in many regions of core, although total flux is usually sinusoidal. When attempting to predict the loss distribution in materials operating under localized distorted flux conditions, which occur in machines and transformer cores, it is essential that proper account of the waveform be taken. Moreover for development of new magnetic materials and generation ...
