Oscillatory Zonal Flows Driven by Interaction between Energetic Ions and Fishbone-like Instability in CHS
نویسنده
چکیده
Nonlinear evolution of magneto-hydro-dynamic (MHD) oscillatory phenomenon driven by the interaction with energetic particles has been studied in CHS using twin heavy ion beam probes. The measurements have provided the fine observation of internal structure of plasma quantities, such as electric field, density and magnetic field distortion during a cycle of the MHD phenomenon. The finding of a new kind of oscillating zonal flow driven by interaction between energetic particles and MHD modes should be emphasized for burning state plasmas since the resultant shear of electric field could reach a sufficiently large level to affect the turbulence transport in burning plasmas of the next generation.

Interchange and Infernal Fishbone Modes in Plasmas with Tangentially Injected Beams
New energetic particle mode instabilities of fishbone type are predicted. The considered instabilities are driven by the circulating energetic ions. They can arise in plasmas of tokamaks and spherical tori with weak magnetic shear in the wide core region and strong shear at the periphery, provided that the central safety factor is close to the ratio m/n, where m and n are the poloidal mode numb...
متن کاملNew Characteristics of Zonal Flows in Multi-scale Plasma Turbulence
The evolution of multi-scale plasma turbulence including resistive MHD and micro-instability is studied based on a 5-field gyrofluid simulation aiming to understand complex nonlinear interaction and turbulent transport. Here we report two new findings on the zonal flow (ZF) characteristics: (1) A robust oscillatory ZF with finite frequency is created in slab geometry for the first time due to t...
متن کاملInfluence of zonal flows on unstable drift modes in ETG turbulence
The linear instability of the electron temperature gradient (ETG) driven modes in the presence of zonal flows is investigated. Random and deterministic cos like profiles of the zonal flow are considered. It is shown that the presence of shearing by zonal flows can stabilize the linear instability of ETG drift modes.

Significant experimental advances have been made on HL-2A tokamak along with substantial improvement and development of hardware. The three dimensional spectral structures of the low frequency zonal flow, the geodesic acoustic mode (GAM), and quasi-mode-like low frequency fluctuations have been observed simultaneously for the first time. In addition, the spectral structure of the density fluctu...
متن کاملGeneration and saturation of large scale flows in flute turbulence
The excitation and suppression of large–scale anisotropic modes during the temporal evolution of a magnetic–curvature–driven electrostatic flute instability is numerically investigated. The formation of streamer-like structures is attributed to the linear development of the instability while the subsequent excitation of the zonal modes is the result of the non–linear coupling between linearly g...
