Active control of type-I edge-localized modes with n=1 perturbation fields in the JET tokamak.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Type-I edge-localized modes (ELMs) have been mitigated at the JET tokamak using a static external n=1 perturbation field generated by four error field correction coils located far from the plasma. During the application of the n=1 field the ELM frequency increased by a factor of 4 and the amplitude of the D(alpha) signal decreased. The energy loss per ELM normalized to the total stored energy, DeltaW/W, dropped to values below 2%. Transport analyses shows no or only a moderate (up to 20%) degradation of energy confinement time during the ELM mitigation phase.

Observations of Multi-Resonance Effect in ELM Control with Magnetic Perturbation Fields on the JET Tokamak
Multiple resonances of the ELM frequency caused by application of low n (= 1 or 2) magnetic perturbations for Edge Localized Mode (ELM) control has been observed on JET. With a low n field applied, a strong increase in ELM frequency, fELM , by a factor of ∼ 4.5 was found in many separated narrow windows of q95 (resonant q95), while the fELM increased only by a factor of ∼ 2 for non-resonant q95...
متن کاملUW-CPTC 11-15R4 Resonant-magnetic-perturbation-induced plasma transport in H-mode pedestals
Plasma toroidal rotation reduces reconnection of externally applied resonant magnetic perturbation (RMP) fields δB on rational (q = m/n) magnetic flux surfaces. Hence, it causes radial perturbations δBρm/n to be small there, and thus inhibits magnetic island formation and stochasticity in the edge of high (H-) mode confinement tokamak plasmas. However, electron collisional damping combined with...

The peeling mode stability of the equilibrium is numericallyanalysed using the GATO [1] code, and it is found that the bootstrap current candrive the plasma peeling mode unstable. A high-n ballooning mode stability analysisof the equilibria revealed that,...
