متن کاملStudy of L-I-H transition with a new dual gas puff imaging system in EAST superconducting tokamak
The intermediate oscillatory phase during the L-H transition, termed I-phase, has been studied in the EAST superconducting tokamak by employing a newly developed dual gas puff imaging (GPI) system near the L-H transition power threshold. The experimental observations suggest that the oscillatory behavior appearing at the L-H transition could be induced by the synergistic effect of the two compo...
متن کاملExperimental Study of Zonal Flow, Geodesic Acoustic Mode and Turbulence Regulation in Edge Plasmas of the HL-2A Tokamak
The coexistence of intensive low frequency zonal flows (LFZFs) and geodesic acoustic modes (GAMs) has been observed by identifying the spatial characteristics, i.e. the symmetries in poloidal and toroidal directions, and the finite radial wave number, using three-dimensional Langmuir probe arrays in the edge plasmas of HL-2A tokamak. The analysis of three wave coupling with ambient turbulence s...
متن کاملZonal flow production in the L-H transition in Alcator C-Mod
Transitions of tokamak confinement regimes from lowto highconfinement are studied on Alcator C-Mod [1] tokamak using gas-puff-imaging (GPI) with a focus on the interaction between the edge drift-turbulence and the local shear flow. Results show that the nonlinear turbulent kinetic energy transfer rate into the shear flow becomes comparable to the estimated value of the drift turbulence growth r...
متن کاملFirst evidence of the role of zonal flows for the L-H transition at marginal input power in the EAST tokamak.
A quasiperiodic Er oscillation at a frequency of <4 kHz, much lower than the geodesic-acoustic-mode frequency, with a modulation in edge turbulence preceding and following the low-to-high (L-H) confinement mode transition, has been observed for the first time in the EAST tokamak, using two toroidally separated reciprocating probes. Just prior to the L-H transition, the Er oscillation often evol...
