Strong ExB shear flows in the transport-barrier region in H-mode plasma.
We report the first experimental observation of stationary zonal flow in the transport-barrier region of the H-mode plasma. Strong peaks in Er shear mark the width of this region. A strong m = n = 0 low-frequency (f < 0.6 kHz) zonal flow is observed in regions of increased Er, suggesting a substantial contribution of zonal flow to the spatial modulation of Er radial profiles. Radial localizatio...

متن کاملFluctuating zonal flows in the I-mode regime in Alcator C-Mod
Velocity fields and density fluctuations of edge turbulence are studied in I-mode [F. Ryter et al., Plasma Phys. Controlled Fusion 40, 725 (1998)] plasmas of the Alcator C-Mod [I. H. Hutchinson et al., Phys. Plasmas 1, 1511 (1994)] tokamak, which are characterized by a strong thermal transport barrier in the edge while providing little or no barrier to the transport of both bulk and impurity pa...
متن کاملOV / 4 - 3 1 1 Overview of Experimental Results on HL - 2 A
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 کاملSignature of turbulent zonal flows observed in the DIII-D tokamak.
The spectrum of turbulent density fluctuations at long poloidal wavelengths in the edge plasma of the DIII-D tokamak peaks at nonzero radial wave number. The associated electric-potential fluctuations cause sheared E x B flows primarily in the poloidal direction. These zonal flows have been predicted by theory and are believed to regulate the overall level of turbulence and anomalous transport....
