متن کاملImaging of turbulent structures and tomographic reconstruction of TORPEX plasma emissivity
In the TORPEX A. Fasoli et al., Phys. Plasmas 13, 055902 2006 , a simple magnetized plasma device, low frequency electrostatic fluctuations associated with interchange waves, are routinely measured by means of extensive sets of Langmuir probes. To complement the electrostatic probe measurements of plasma turbulence and study of plasma structures smaller than the spatial resolution of probes arr...
متن کاملHamiltonian formulation and coherent structures in electrostatic turbulence
A Hamiltonian formulation is constructed for a finite ion Larmor radius fluid model describing ion temperature-gradient driven and drift Kelvin-Hemholtz modes. The Hamiltonian formulation reveals the existence of three invariants obeying detailed conservation properties, corresponding roughly to generalized potential vorticity, internal energy, and ion momentum parallel to the magnetic field. T...
متن کاملNonlinear structures in interchange mode turbulence.
Generation of linearly unstable streamers and nonlinearly saturated zonal flows have been investigated using two-dimensional simulations of interchange mode turbulence. It has been shown that nonlinear diamagnetic interactions tend to inhibit spectral cascades towards larger length scales and consequently suppress the nonlinear excitation of zonal flows. The latter has also been found to be in ...
متن کاملNonlinear Structures in Space and Laboratory Plasmas
Coherent nonlinear structures in the form of vortical motions are frequently observed in laboratory devices and in auroral plasmas. Our objective here is to suggest that any realistic description of plasma vortices must involve three-dimensional nonlinear wave models, which account for the nonlinear coupling between finite amplitude electrostatic and/or electromagnetic disturbances. Specificall...
