HL-1装置电流上升段MHD不稳定性

在托卡马克放电的初始阶段,由于存在变化的等离子体电流,一般会出现等离子体电流的趋肤分布,这种分布会导致MHD不稳定性的发展和产生破裂。早期的托卡马克实验,对放电初始阶段的MHD扰动现象做过许多讨论和研究。A1cator-A在电流上升段观测到的大多数破裂发生在q_L=1.6模处,同时观察到MHD扰动模式随时间从高模向低模的发展。电流初始阶段的上升率对平顶段的放电特性也有重大影响,在FT上,只有在等离子体电流上升率为1.2—2.6MA.s~(-1)时,才能实现低q_L的等离子体参数运行。     

Limit cycles of the ballast resistor caused by intrinsic instabilities

Spatio-temporal patterns of the ballast resistor are investigated. It is well known that in a voltage-controlled ballast resistor an electrothermal instability leads to stable stationary states consisting of hot and cold domains. Such states may become oscillatory unstable, giving rise to the bifurcation of limit cycles. These limit cycles are not caused by the external circuit but by a recently proposed novel intrinsic mechanism. There are two types of oscillatory instabilities: bulk instabilities and boundary-induced instabilities. The bulk instabilities are caused by resistivities which are not monotonically increasing functions of the temperature. The boundary-induced instabilities occur in small systems with Neumann boundary conditions. To find the bulk instability, experiments with materials showing a metal-semiconductor transition or high-temperature superconductors are suggested. To understand these new phenomena, the equation of motion is reduced to ordinary differential equations where the instabilities can be discussed analytically.

Model Studies of Rayleigh Instabilities via Microdesigned Interfaces

The energetic and kinetic properties of surfaces play a critical role in defining the microstructural changes that occur during sintering and high-temperature use of ceramics. Characterization of surface diffusion in ceramics is particularly difficult, and significant variations in reported values of surface diffusivities arise even in well-studied systems. Effects of impurities, surface energy anisotropy, and the onset of surface attachment limited kinetics (SALK) are believed to contribute to this variability. An overview of the use of Rayleigh instabilities as a means of characterizing surface diffusivities is presented. The development of models of morphological evolution that account for effects of surface energy anisotropy is reviewed, and the potential interplay between impurities and surface energy anisotropy is addressed. The status of experimental studies of Rayleigh instabilities in sapphire utilizing lithographically introduced pore channels of controlled geometry and crystallography is summarized. Results of model studies indicate that impurities can significantly influence both the spatial and temporal characteristics of Rayleigh instabilities; this is attributed at least in part to impurity effects on the surface energy anisotropy. Related model experiments indicate that the onset of SALK may also contribute significantly to apparent variations in surface diffusion coefficients.     

Stability and instability of a hot and dilute nuclear droplet

The diabatic approach to dissipative collective nuclear motion is reformulated in the local-density approximation in order to treat the normal modes of a spherical nuclear droplet analytically. In a first application the adiabatic isoscalar modes are studied and results for the eigenvalues of compressional (bulk) and pure surface modes are presented as function of density and temperature inside the droplet, as well as for different mass numbers and for soft and stiff equations of state. We find that the region of bulk instabilities (spinodal regime) is substantially smaller for nuclear droplets than for infinite nuclear matter. For small densities below 30% of normal nuclear matter density and for temperatures below 5 MeV all relevant bulk modes become unstable with similar growth rates. The surface modes have a larger spinodal region, reaching out to densities and temperatures way beyond the spinodal line for bulk instabilities. Essential experimental features of multifragmentation, like fragmentation temperatures and fragment-mass distributions (in particular the power-law behavior) are consistent with the instability properties of an expanding nuclear droplet, and hence with a dynamical fragmentation process within the spinodal regime of bulk and surface modes (spinodal decomposition).

Nonequilibrium Stability of Resistive Magnetohydrodynamic Pinches

The classical method of determining the stability of MHD equilibria is generalized to the case of an electrically resistive and thermally conductive imploding dynamic pinch so that the onset and linear behavior of three-dimensional nonequilibrium instabilities can be studied. Dynamically induced Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities are shown to appear in a cylindrically symmetric theta pinch at just those times as are given by theory and experiment, and with the correct growth rate.     

Stability-transport modeling of the SINP tokamak discharges

A one-dimensional stability transport code has been developed to simulate the evolution of tokamak plasma discharges. Explicit finite-difference methods have been used to follow the temporal evolution of the electron temperature equation. The poloidal field diffusion equation has been solved at every time step. The effects of MHD instabilities have been incorporated by solving equations for MHD mixing and tearing modes as and when required. The code has been applied to follow the evolution of tokamak plasma discharges obtained in the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics (SINP) tokamak. From these simulations, we have been able to identify the possible models of thermal conductivity, diffusion and impurity contents in these discharges. Effects of different MHD modes have been estimated. It has been found that in low q ₀ discharge m=1, n=1 and m=2, n=1 modes play major role in discharge evolution. These modes are found to result in the positive jump in the loop voltage which was also observed in the experiments. Hollow current density profile j _φ and negative shear in the q profile have also been found in the rising phase of a discharge.     

Review of implicit methods for the magnetohydrodynamic description of magnetically confined plasmas

Implicit algorithms are essential for predicting the slow growth and saturation of global instabilities in today’s magnetically confined fusion plasma experiments. Present day algorithms for obtaining implicit solutions to the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations for highly magnetized plasma have their roots in algorithms used in the 1960s and 1970s. However, today’s computers and modern linear and non-linear solver techniques make practical much more comprehensive implicit algorithms than were previously possible. Combining these advanced implicit algorithms with highly accurate spatial representations of the vector fields describing the plasma flow and magnetic fields and with improved methods of calculating anisotropic thermal conduction now makes possible simulations of fusion experiments using realistic values of plasma parameters and actual configuration geometry. This article is a review of these developments.

Surface magnons and magnetic structures for the fcc anti-ferromagnetic lattice of the second kind: Application to EuTe

A two-sublattice model is presented and applied to the fee antiferromagnetic lattice of the second kind. It includes a Heisenberg hamiltonian for exchange interactions between first and second neighbor spins. Surface spin interactions are kept identical to bulk ones. Surface and bulk magnons are obtained and show some cases of instabilities (soft modes) which may account for surface superstructures. The model is applied to the case of EuTe.     

Mass-transport driven by surface instabilities in metals under reactive plasma/ion beam treatment at moderate temperature

This paper presents a generalized approach to the mechanisms of oxidation, hydrogenation and nitriding of metals under ion irradiation with reactive particles at elevated temperatures. Experimental results on the plasma oxidation of bilayered Y/Zr films, the plasma hydrogenation of Mg films and the ion beam (1.2 keV N ₂ ⁺ ) nitriding of stainless steel are presented and discussed. We make special emphasis on the analysis of surface effects and their role in the initiation of mixing of bilayered films, the ingress of reactive species in the bulk and the restructuring of the surface layers. It is suggested that primary processes driving reactive atoms from the surface into the bulk are surface instabilities induced by thermal and ballistic surface atom relocations under reactive adsorption and ion irradiation, respectively. The diffusion of adatoms and vacancies, at temperature when they become mobile, provide the means to relax the surface energy. It is recognized that the stabilizing effect of surface adatom diffusion is significant at temperatures below 300–350°C. As the temperature increases, the role of surface adatom diffusion decreases and processes in the bulk become dominant. The atoms of subsurface monolayers occupy energetically favorable sites on the surface, and result in reduced surface energy.

Microwave imaging of magnetohydrodynamic instabilities in fusion plasma

Microwave imaging diagnostics are extremely useful for observing magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities in magnetic fusion plasmas. Two imaging diagnostics will be available on the WEST tokamak. A method was developed to reconstruct electron density maps from electron density profiles measured by ultrafast reflectometry, a technique based on FM-CW radar principle. It relies on plasma rotation to perform 2D reconstruction. An Electron Cyclotron Emission Imaging (ECEI) diagnostic will image directly the temperature fluctuations. It will be equivalent to 24 stacked vertically radiometers, each probing a spot of few centimetres. These two complementary techniques will contribute to the validation of MHD models.     

A.C. loss and related effects in type II superconductors

This review gathers together information important to the understanding of superconducting materials under a.c. conditions, and points out some features which are at present not too well understood. The idea is to try to build a consistent picture of the performance of superconductors rather than to present a historical account of the subject.

The basic behaviour of fluxons in the bulk of type II superconductors can be explained by the critical state model, but some of the details of flux pinning and the method of flux motion are in doubt. Flux instabilities under d.c. conditions have received a lot of attention and so have the methods of stabilization, but instabilities under a.c. conditions have not been studied in so much detail, and the problem of stabilization is more difficult than for f.c.

Generally surface effects are less well understood than bulk effects, partly because there are a number of possible phenomena to contend with. A.C. loss in the Meissner state can be explained by field enhancement and flux penetration at peaks in the surface. For fields between H _c3 and H _c2 present solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equations for the currents in the surface sheath do not give sufficient agreement with experiment and some alternative explanation, such as flux pinning, may be necessary. There are a number of effects between H _c2 and H _c1, but the most important are Meissner currents and flux pinning.
