托卡马克中漂移不稳定性的回旋动理学二维本征模方程

从弗拉索夫方程出发，导出了托卡马克等离子体中漂移不稳定性的回旋动理学二维本征模积分方程组。该方程组保留了离子的动理学效应，包括沿磁场的运动、磁场梯度和曲率漂移以及有限拉莫半径效应。与传统的采用气球模表象得到的一维回旋动理学方程(其只能给出不稳定模沿磁场线的结构)不同，该方程组不仅能给出托卡马克等离子体中漂移不稳定模的径向结构，同时还考虑了由离子的环形性漂移引起的相邻极向模之间的线性耦合，进而得到模的极向结构。该结果为相应的数值模拟研究提供了理论基础。     

Stability of internal transport barriers to ideal MHD ballooning modes

Internal transport barriers (ITB) in tokamaks can form near a minimum in the q profile, q(min), where magnetic shear is weak. We have analyzed their stability to short wavelength (n>1, where n is the toroidal mode number) ideal MHD ballooning modes, by considering the s-alpha model equilibrium. We show that the ballooning transformation fails in regions of low shear but that one can then adopt a complementary approach based on the recurrence relation describing the toroidal coupling of radially localized modes on adjacent rational surfaces. Inclusion of the stabilizing effects of favorable average curvature or finite-n using this technique leads to stable high-pressure ITB configurations. The theory also shows the advantages of operating with low-order rational values of q(min).     

Transition between internal transport barriers with different temperature-profile curvatures in JT-60U Tokamak plasmas

A spontaneous transition phenomena between two states of a plasma with an internal transport barrier (ITB) is observed in the steady-state phase of the magnetic shear in the negative magnetic shear plasma in the JT-60U tokamak. These two ITB states are characterized by different profiles of the second radial derivative of the ion temperature inside the ITB region (one has a weak concave shape and the other has a strong convex shape) and by different degrees of sharpness of the interfaces between the L mode and the ITB region, which is determined by the turbulence penetration into the ITB region.     

A review on the solution of Grad–Shafranov equation in the cylindrical coordinates based on the Chebyshev collocation technique

Equilibrium reconstruction consists of identifying, from experimental measurements, a distribution of the plasma current density that satisfies the pressure balance constraint. Numerous methods exist to solve the Grad–Shafranov equation, describing the equilibrium of plasma confined by an axisymmetric magnetic field. In this paper, we have proposed a new numerical solution to the Grad–Shafranov equation (an axisymmetric, magnetic field transformed in cylindrical coordinates solved with the Chebyshev collocation method) when the source term (current density function) on the right-hand side is linear. The Chebyshev collocation method is a method for computing highly accurate numerical solutions of differential equations. We describe a circular cross-section of the tokamak and present numerical result of magnetic surfaces on the IR-T1 tokamak and then compare the results with an analytical solution.

The perpendicular permittivity of magnetized toroidal plasmas with elliptic magnetic surfaces

The Vlasov equation for charged particles is analyzed in an axially symmetric toroidal plasma configuration with an elliptic cross section of magnetic surfaces. The asymptotic solution of the Vlasov equation is found. The analytical expressions for the perpendicular component of the dielectric permittivity tensor are obtained. These expressions are used for theoretical analyses of the trapped and untrapped ion influence on the collisionless cyclotron wave dissipation. The evaluated dielectric tensor components can be used for computer calculations of the radio frequency field structure and the collisionless dissipated power related to trapped and untrapped ions in tokamak plasmas. It is shown that ion cyclotron resonance dissipation in tokamaks depends on toroidicity and ellipticity parameters and does not depend on plasma temperature. This work was supported by the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), Rio de Janeiro Research Foundation (FAPERJ) and Brazilian National Council of Research (CNPq).     

Suppression of plasma turbulence during optimized shear configurations in JET

Correlation of density turbulence suppression and reduced plasma transport is observed in the internal transport barrier (ITB) region of JET tokamak discharges with optimized magnetic shear. The suppression occurs in two stages. First, low frequency turbulence and ion transport are reduced across the plasma core by a toroidal velocity shear generated by intense auxiliary heating. Then with the ITB formation, high frequency turbulence and electron transport are reduced locally within the steep pressure gradient region of the ITB.     

Role of flow shear in the ballooning stability of tokamak transport barriers

A tokamak's confinement time is greatly increased by a transport barrier (TB), a region having a high pressure gradient and usually also a strongly sheared plasma flow. The pressure gradient in a TB can be limited by ideal magnetohydrodynamic instabilities with a high toroidal mode number n ("ballooning modes"). Previous studies in the limit n--> infinity showed that arbitrarily small (but nonzero) flow shears have a large stabilizing influence. In contrast, the more realistic finite n ballooning modes studied here are found to be insensitive to sub-Alfvénic flow shears, provided the magnetic shear s approximately 1 (typical for TBs near the plasma's edge). However, for the lower magnetic shears that are associated with internal transport barriers, significantly lower flow shears will influence ballooning mode stability, and flow shear should be retained in the analysis of their stability.     

Analytic description of tokamak equilibrium sustained by high fraction bootstrap current

By using an expansion technique based on the tokamak ordering, the Grad－Shafranov equation is analytically solved for tokamak equilibrium sustained by a full bootstrap current. This approximate approach is suitable for equilibria with non-circular cross-sections of modest ellipse and triangular deformations. As an input parameter set, the plasma pressure profile and the electron and the ion temperature profiles can be selected as arbitrary functions of the averaged minor radius. Equilibrium properties of this plasma are discussed.

Tokamak resistive magnetohydrodynamic ballooning instability in the negative shear regime

Improved confinement of tokamak plasma with central negative shear is checked against the resistive ballooning mode. In the negative shear regime, the plasma is always unstable for purely growing resistive ballooning mode. For a simplest tokamak equilibrium model, the s--α model, characteristics of this kind of instability are fully clarified by numerically solving the high n resistive magnetohydrodynamic ballooning eigen-equation. Dependences of the growth rate on the resistivity, the absolute shear value, the pressure gradient are scanned in detail. It is found that the growth rate is a monotonically increasing function of α while it is not sensitive to the changes of the shear s, the initial phase \ta₀ and the resistivity parameter \va_R.     

Mechanism of stabilization of ballooning modes by toroidal rotation shear in tokamaks

A ballooning perturbation in a toroidally rotating tokamak is expanded by square-integrable eigenfunctions of an eigenvalue problem associated with ballooning modes in a static plasma. Especially a weight function is chosen such that the eigenvalue problem has only the discrete spectrum. The eigenvalues evolve in time owing to toroidal rotation shear, resulting in a countably infinite number of crossings among them. The crossings cause energy transfer from an unstable mode to the infinite number of stable modes; such transfer works as the stabilization mechanism of the ballooning mode.

Topology of toroidal helical fields in non-circular cross-sectional tokamaks

The ordinary differential magnetic field line equations are solved numerically; the tokamak magnetic structure is studied on Hefei Tokamak-7 Upgrade （HT-TU） when the equilibrium field with a monotonic q-profile is perturbed by a helical magnetic field. We find that a single mode （m, n） helical perturbation can cause the formation of islands on rational surfaces with q=m/n and q=（m±1,±2,±3,...）/n due to the toroidicity and plasma shape （i.e. elongation and triangularity）, while there are many undestroyed magnetic surfaces called Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser （KAM） barriers on irrational surfaces. The islands on the same rational surface do not have the same size. When the ratio between the perturbing magnetic field Br（r） and the toroidal magnetic field amplitude Bφ0 is large enough, the magnetic island chains on different rational surfaces will overlap and chaotic orbits appear in the overlapping area, and the magnetic field becomes stochastic. It is remarkable that the stochastic layer appears first in the plasma edge region.

Filamentary plasma eruptions: Results using the non‐linear ballooning model

This paper provides an overview of recent results on two distinct studies exploiting the non‐linear model for ideal ballooning modes with potential applications to edge‐localized modes (ELMs). The non‐linear model for tokamak geometries was developed by Wilson and Cowley in 2004 and consists of two differential equations that characterize the temporal and spatial evolution of the plasma displacement. The variation of the radial displacement along the magnetic field line is described by the first equation, which is identical to the linear ballooning equation. The second differential equation is a two‐dimensional non‐linear ballooning‐like equation, which is often second order in time but can involve a fractional time derivative depending on the geometry. In the first study, the interaction of multiple filamentary eruptions is addressed in a magnetized plasma in a slab geometry. Equally sized filaments evolve independently in both the linear and non‐linear regimes. However, if filaments are initiated with slightly different heights from the reference flux surface, they interact with each other in the non‐linear regime: lower filaments are slowed down and are eventually completely suppressed, while the higher filaments grow faster because of the non‐linear interaction. In the second study, this model of non‐linear ballooning modes is examined quantitatively against experimental observations of ELMs in Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak (MAST) geometries. The results suggest that experimentally relevant results can only be obtained using modified equilibria.     

TOKAMAK BALLOONING MODE STUDIES-(I)

In this paper, the first part deals with the structure of the second stability regime of the ideal MHD ballooning modes in circular tokamaks. It is shown that in high-beta regime,the poloidal magnetic field destabilizes strongly the plasma and can eventually lead to the appearance of a new instability regime at modest beta-value for a flat q-profile. In the second part, th a various kinetic effects on ballooning modes or high-beta tokamaks are calculated. Results show that a new weak ballooning mode branch can exist in the second MHD stability regime in addition to the MHD-like strony ballooning mode branch in the first instability regime with its growth rate decreased by kinetic stabilizations.
