Density and impurity profile behaviours in HL-2A tokamak with different gas fuelling methods

The electron density profile peaking and the impurity accumulation in the HL-2A tokamak plasma are observed when three kinds of fuelling methods are separately used at different fuelling particle locations. The density profile becomes more peaked when the line-averaged electron density approaches the Greenwald density limit n_G and, consequently, impurity accumulation is often observed. A linear increase regime in the density range n_e< 0.6n_G and a saturation regime in n_e > 0.6n_G are obtained. There is no significant difference in achieved density peaking factor f_ne between the supersonic molecular beam injection (SMBI) and gas puffing into the plasma main chamber. However, the achieved f_ne is relatively low, in particular, in the case of density below 0.7n_G, when the working gas is puffed into the divertor chamber. A discharge with a density as high as 1.2n_G, i.e. n_e = 1.2n_G, can be achieved by SMBI just after siliconization as a wall conditioning. The metallic impurities, such as iron and chromium, also increase remarkably when the impurity accumulation happens. The mechanism behind the density peaking and impurity accumulation is studied by investigating both the density peaking factor versus the effective collisionality and the radiation peaking versus density peaking.     

Investigation of impurity transport using laser blow-off technique in the HL-2A Ohmic and ECRH plasmas

Impurity transports in two neighboring discharges with and without electron cyclotron resonance heating(ECRH)are studied in the HL-2A tokamak by laser blow-off(LBO) technique.The progression of aluminium ions as the trace impurity is monitored by soft x-ray(SXR) and bolometer detector arrays with good temporal and spatial resolutions.Obvious difference in the time trace of the signal between the Ohmic and ECRH L-mode discharges is observed.Based on the numerical simulation with one-dimensional(1D) impurity transport code STRAHL,the radial profiles of impurity diffusion coefficient D and convective velocity V are obtained for each shot.The result shows that the diffusion coefficient D significantly increases throughout the plasma minor radius for the ECRH case with respect to the Ohmic case,and that the convection velocity V changes from negative(inward) for the Ohmic case to partially positive(outward) for the ECRH case.The result on HL-2A confirms the pump out effect of ECRH on impurity profile as reported on various other devices.

Favourable scenarios established by SMBI for the realization of the ELMy H-mode at HL-2A

The ELMy H-mode plasmas realized with the supersonic molecular beam injection(SMBI) are studied in relation to the energy confinement and the heating power for the L–H transition(P_(L-H) ) in the HL-2A tokamak. A database is assembled for this study based on the ELMy H-mode discharges during the experimental campaigns in the period 2009–2013at the HL-2A tokamak. The statistical results show that the SMBI is favourable for reaching the H-mode by reducing the heating power at the L–H transition and for the H-mode performance by improving the energy confinement compared with the ordinary gas puffing(GP). The reduction of P_(L-H) is about 20% when the density is low, and the energy confinement enhancement factor of H_(H98y2)= τ_E/τ_(th,98y2) ≈ 1.5 is achieved with the SMBI. Note that in the database the density dependence of P_(L-H) is non-monotonic with the ˉne,min≈ 3×10~(19) m~(-3) at which the P_(L-H) is minimum. Most of P_(L-H) data are on the low density branch where the P_(L-H) increases with the decrease in density. The minimum of the P_(L-H) in HL-2A is comparable to the ITPA multi-machine threshold power scaling P_(thr■scal08). The physics behind the reduction of the P_(L-H) with the SMBI is also investigated in relation to the change of the density gradient at the plasma edge, the gas fuelling efficiency, and the recycling.
