平衡电流位形对电阻壁模稳定性影响的数值模拟

数值研究平衡电流位形对电阻壁模式稳定性的影响.研究发现,对于不同的电流位形,当等离子体边缘处安全因子一定时,最不稳定的电阻壁模的环向模数和极向模数相同.在同一壁位置下,非均匀电流位形驱动的电阻壁模的线性增长率比均匀电流位驱动的电阻壁模的线性增长率大.等离子体速度流在不同的初始电流位形下对电阻壁模稳定性的影响不同.由于磁力线在壁上的挤压,经过线性演化后,电阻壁模进入非线性演化并达到饱和状态,非均匀电流位形下的扰动磁能比均匀电流位形下的扰动磁能饱和度低.     

等离子体轴向运动对撕裂模不稳定性影响研究

从电阻磁流体模型出发,详细推导了柱形位形下低β等离子体中包括等离子体宏观轴向运动效应的电阻性撕裂模线性不稳定性理论。数值研究发现：等离子体轴向运动速度本身对撕裂模具有明显的稳定作用,而轴向运动速度剪切的作用并不明显。分析表明：轴向运动通过改变扰动势函数和磁通函数之间的相位差(偏离π/2)来降低撕裂模增长率,同时产生一个较低的撕裂模频率。     

旋转圆柱等离子体中撕裂模和Kelvin-Helmholtz不稳定性的激发特性

采用约化的磁流体力学模型,数值研究了柱位形等离子体中q剖面和极向旋转剖面对q=1撕裂模不稳定性和Kelvin-Helmholtz(K-H)不稳定性的影响.随着旋转强度的增加,m/n=1/1模被逐渐抑制,而高阶谐波模式(如m/n=2/2,m/n=3/3等)会经历四个区间:撕裂模失稳区间、撕裂模致稳区间、稳定窗口区间和K-H不稳定性激发区间.更进一步,我们发现,m/n=1/1模的增长率随旋转强度的改变与剪切层所处位置有关,并且剪切层分布在有理面内外的结果基本一致;然而高阶谐波模式却没有此类现象.另外,有理面处磁剪切越小,撕裂模越容易被剪切流抑制,并且越容易激发K-H不稳定性.     

托卡马克理想导体壁与磁流体不稳定性

为了探索等离子体磁流体力学(MHD)不稳定性的导体壁效应以及壁设计思想,研究了基于HL-2A托卡马克偏滤器位形的、自由边界和多种形式的理想导体壁条件下的等离子体MHD不稳定性与装置MHD运行β极限.在稳定性计算中,考虑的是n=1扭曲模,该模对托卡马克等离子体MHD不稳定性有决定性的影响.研究着眼于验证多种形状导体壁抑制内、外扭曲模的有效性,观察运行β极限的变化,并讨论分析相关物理.研究发现在离等离子体适当距离处放置一个理想导体壁,可有效抑制外扭曲模.在壁与等离子体表面的平均距离相同、且足够小的条件下,圆截面壁并不一定是最佳选择,设置一个经过优化的多边形导体壁能更有效地抑制MHD不稳定性,它使本装置的理想MHD运行β极限β_N提高到2.73,比自由边界条件下(即假设壁设置在无穷远处的)装置的运行β极限值(～2.56)提高了约6.5%.这暗示需要根据有拉长、有变形的等离子体的极向截面形状,优化制作一个离等离子体表面平均距离尽可能近的多边形导体壁,才能取得抑制外扭曲模、提高β极限的最佳效果.     

电流非单调分布时的电阻流体不稳定性

Flute Instability in Tandem Mirror

The flute instability of low β,inhomogeneous, uniformly rotating plasma with emphasis on application to central cell plasma of TM machine is discussed. The analytical solvabta model studied in this work provides more comprehensive information than previous works by using a similar model. The conducting wall effect on the m=1 mode is considered. Application to density fluctuation observed in the central cell of GAMMA 10 and TMX shows a fairly good agreement between experiment and theory.     

Observation of Molybdenum Emission from Impurity-Induced Long-Lived m=1 Mode on the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak

We observe the spectra of molybdenum for the first time since the first wall of our experimental advanced superconducting tokamak(EAST) was changed mainly to molybdenum tiles.A large amount of molybdenum accumulated in the central plasma where the Jong-Jived m = 1 mode instability bursts is shown.Molybdenum is proved to be the main impurity species observed during the formation and lifetime of impurity-induced long-lived m = 1 mode.This may indicate that a close relationship exists between the high-Z impurity accumulation and the occurrence of long-lived m = 1 mode in EAST plasmas.     

Evolution of the current density profile associated with magnetic island formation in JT-60U

Evolution of the current density profile associated with magnetic island formation of an m/n=2/1 tearing mode was measured using a motional Stark effect (MSE) diagnostic for the first time in the JT-60U tokamak. With the island growth, the current density profile turned flat at the radial region of the island, followed by an appearance of a hollow structure. As the island shrank, the flat region became narrower, and it finally diminished after the disappearance of the island. The fluctuation of the local poloidal magnetic field from MSE showed a strong correlation with a slow island rotation. This indicates that the observed deformation in the current density profile is localized at the island O point.     

Geodesic acoustic mode induced by toroidal rotation in tokamaks

The effect of toroidal rotation on the geodesic acoustic mode (GAM) in a tokamak is studied. It is shown that, in addition to a small frequency upshift of the ordinary GAM, another GAM, with much lower frequency, is induced by the rotation. The new GAM appears as a consequence of the nonuniform plasma density and pressure created by the centrifugal force on the magnetic surfaces. Both GAMs in a rotating plasma are shown to exist both as continuum modes with finite mode numbers m and n at the rational surfaces q=m/n as well as in the form of axisymmetric modes with m=n=0.     

Disruption avoidance in the Frascati Tokamak Upgrade by means of magnetohydrodynamic mode stabilization using electron-cyclotron-resonance heating

Disruption avoidance by stabilization of MHD modes through injection of ECRH at different radial locations is reported. Disruptions have been induced in the FTU (Frascati Tokamak Upgrade) deuterium plasmas by Mo injection or by exceeding the density limit (D gas puffing). ECRH is triggered when the V(loop) exceeds a preset threshold value. Coupling between MHD modes (m/n=3/2, 2/1, 3/1) occurs before disruption. Direct heating of one coupled mode is sufficient to avoid disruptions, while heating close to the mode leads to disruption delay. These results could be relevant for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor tokamak operation.     

Toroidal plasma rotation induced by the dynamic ergodic divertor in the TEXTOR tokamak

The first results of the Dynamic Ergodic Divertor in TEXTOR, when operating in the m/n=3/1 mode configuration, are presented. The deeply penetrating external magnetic field perturbation of this configuration increases the toroidal plasma rotation. Staying below the excitation threshold for the m/n=2/1 tearing mode, this toroidal rotation is always in the direction of the plasma current, even if the toroidal projection of the rotating magnetic field perturbation is in the opposite direction. The observed toroidal rotation direction is consistent with a radial electric field, generated by an enhanced electron transport in the ergodic layers near the resonances of the perturbation. This is an effect different from theoretical predictions, which assume a direct coupling between rotating perturbation and plasma to be the dominant effect of momentum transfer.

Theoretical Analysis of the Frequency Jump in E-fishbone Experiments

It is identified that barely passing electrons are the drive of the e-Gshbones,rather than the barely trapped electrons at low frequency.The frequency jump in e-Bshbone experiments is reproduced and analyzed.It is found that the e-Bshbone frequency increases with the hot electron energy,which is consistent with the experiments.The growth rate of the mode(m = 2,n = 2) is greater than that of the mode(m = 1,n = 1).     

First Observation of Neoclassical Tearing Modes in the HL-2A Tokamak

The m/n = 2/1 neoclassical tearing modes are first observed in HL-2A low density, low beta plasma with central electron cyclotron resonance heating. The neoclassical tearing modes （NTMs） are triggered by a sawtooth crash with m/n = 1/1 precursors, which are toroidal coupled with a small scale m/n = 2/1 mode. The time history of the island width is compared with the prediction of the NTM theory, showing a good agreement between theory and experiment.     

Resistive wall mode in collisionless quasistationary plasmas

The stability analysis of the n=1 resistive wall mode is carried out for a simplified model of collisionless tokamak plasma. It is found that the trapped particle compressibility and the resonance between the mode and the precession drift frequency lead to a significant improvement of the beta stability limits. It is shown that, within the frame of the simplified model, the resistive wall mode can be fully suppressed and the plasma can be stable up to the wall beta limits for a slow plasma rotation.
