Hamiltonian four-field model for nonlinear tokamak dynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Hamiltonian four-field model is a simplified description of nonlinear tokamak dynamics that allows for finite ion Larmor radius physics, as well as other effects related to compressibility and electron adiabaticity. Much simpler than some previous descriptions of the same physics, it still preserves essential features ofthe underlying exact dynamics. In particular, because it is a Hamiltonian dynamical system it conserves the appropriate Casimir invariants, as well as avoiding implicit, unphysical dissipation. Here the model is derived and interpreted, its Hamiltonian nature is demonstrated, and its constants of motion are extracted.

Hamiltonian structure and stability analysis of a reduced four-field model for plasmas in the presence of a strong guide field
We analyze the collisionless and inviscid limit of a reduced fluid model for tokamak plasma dynamics. We show that the model under consideration possesses a noncanonical Hamiltonian structure with four infinite families of Casimir invariants. Sufficient conditions for energy stability are derived and formulated in terms of requirements on the current, electron pressure, and parallel ion velocit...

متن کاملStability and nonlinear dynamics aspects of a model for collisionless magnetic reconnection
A Hamiltonian 4-field fluid model describing magnetic reconnection in collisionless plasmas is investigated both analytically and numerically. The noncanonical Hamiltonian structure of the model is used in order to derive equilibrium equations and sufficient conditions for stability of equilibria in the presence of toroidal flow. Numerical simulations of the model equations are then used in ord...
متن کاملFull-field drift Hamiltonian particle orbits in axisymmetric tokamak geometry
A Hamiltonian/Lagrangian theory to describe guiding center orbit drift motion that is canonical in Boozer magnetic coordinates is developed to include full electrostatic and electromagnetic perturbed fields in axisymmetric tokamak geometry. Furthermore, the radial component of the equilibrium magnetic field in the covariant representation is retained and the background equilibrium state extends...
