Study of sawtooth oscillations on the HT-7 tokamak using 2D tomography of soft x-ray signal

It is the first time so far as we know that two arrays of multi-channel soft x-ray detectors are used to generate twodimensional （2D） images of sawtooth oscillation on the HT-7 tokamak using the Fourier-Bessel harmonic reconstruction method, and using the singular value decomposition to analyse the data from soft x-ray cameras. By these two arrays, 2D image reconstruction of soft x-ray emissivity can be obtained without assumption of plasma rigid rotation. Tomographic reconstruction of the m=1 mode structure is obtained during the precursor oscillation of the sawtooth crash. The crescent-shaped mode structure appearing on the contour map of the soft x-ray emissivity is consistent with the quasiinterchange mode. The characteristics of the m=1/n=1 mode structure observed in the soft x-ray tomography are as follows： the magnetic surface is made up of the crescent-shaped “hot core” and the circular “cold bubble”. The structure of the magnetic surface rotates in the direction of the electron diamagnetic drift and the rotation frequency is the oscillation frequency of soft x-ray signals.     

Identification of m=2 competent mode of complex magneto-hydro-dynamics activities during internal soft disruption based on singular value decomposition and tomography of soft-X-ray emission on the HT-7 tokamak

In this paper,the singular value decomposition(SVD) method as a filter is applied before the tomographic inversion of soft-X-ray emission.Series of ’filtered’ signals including specific chronos and topos are obtained.(Here,chronos and topos are the decomposed spatial vectors and the decomposed temporal vectors,respectively).Given specific magnetic flux function with coupling m = 1 and m = 2 modes,the line-integrated soft-X-ray signals at all chords have been obtained.Then m = 1 and m = 2 modes have been identified by tomography of simulated ’filtered’ signals extracted by the SVD method.Finaly,using the experimental line-integrated soft-X-ray signals,m = 2 competent mode of complex magnetohydrodynamics(MHD) activities during internal soft disruption is observed.This result demonstrates that m = 2 mode plays an important role in internal disruption(Here,m is the poloidal mode number).     

基于经验模态分解滤波的低频振荡Prony分析

传统Prony法在分析低频振荡时对输入信号要求较高,存在着对噪声敏感的弱点.因此提出一种经验模态分解滤波和改进Prony法相结合的低频振荡分析方法.该方法先用经验模态分解对低频振荡信号进行自适应滤波,再用改进Prony法对滤波后的信号进行分析.其中,改进Prony法有效阶数用归一化奇异值法确定.将该方法分别用于分析试验信号和IEEE 4机系统振荡信号,并与基于低通滤波器的Prony分析进行比较.结果表明,在较大噪声环境下,该方法仍然能相对准确的辨识出低频振荡主导模式,验证了其有效性. 关键词： 低频振荡 经验模态分解 改进Prony法 归一化奇异值法     

Mirnov coil data analysis for tokamak ADITYA

The spatial and temporal structures of magnetic signal in the tokamak ADITYA is analysed using recently developed singular value decomposition (SVD) technique. The analysis technique is first tested with simulated data and then applied to the ADITYA Mirnov coil data to determine the structure of current peturbation as the discharge progresses. It is observed that during the current rise phase, current perturbation undergoes transition from m=5 poloidal structure to m=4 and then to m=3. At the time of current termination, m=2 perturbation is observed. It is observed that the mode frequency remains nearly constant (≈10 kHz) when poloidal mode structure changes from m=4 to m=2. This may be either an indication of mode coupling or a consequences of changes in the plasma electron temperature and density scale length.

Tomography analysis of the sawtooth crash with post-cursor in LHCD plasma on HT-7 tokamak

Sawtooth oscillations with post-cursor were observed in LHCD plasma on HT-7 tokamak. The mode exists and decays gradually after the crash, which implies that the magnetic reconnection is incomplete and the central safety factor remains below unity after the crash. From results of the singular value decomposition (SVD) and tomographic reconstructions describing the magnetic surface structures in the crash, it was found that the m/n=1/1 mode survives in the crash. It is shown that, the appearance of the preservation of this mode is inconsistent with the secondary reconnection theory, and we conjecture that the evolving of this mode may be understood with the stochastic field model.

Study of particle transport in ac plasmas on HT-7 tokamak

The particle transport coefficients were investigated in ac plasmas by density modulation method on HT-7 tokamak. It is observed that the particle diffusion coefficient (D) is almost the same in various cases and varies with the electron density. The convection velocity (V) is equal to the value of inward pinch velocity (VE×B) for low and high density discharges. The particle confinement time becomes much higher when the directions of plasma current and toroidal field are uniform.     

Study of particle behaviour at the edge in HT-7 tokamak

The cross-field diffusion coefficient (D_⊥) at the edge in the HT-7 tokamak is close to the Bohm value when the line average electron density ranges from 1.5×10^{19} to 3.0×10^{19}m^{-3}. The energy profile of the particles is derived directly from the H_α(D_α) line shape; the dissociative excitation of molecules is dominating when the local electron temperature is above 10eV. By means of the Monte Carlo method the D_α line shape is also simulated. We find that the molecular dissociation contributes to 57% of neutral atoms and 53% of emission intensity in front of the limiter, and 85% of neutral atoms and 82% of emission intensity in front of the wall. The influence of atomic and molecular processes on the energy balance is discussed for the scrape-off layer (SOL), and the power loss from molecular dissociation is found to be 6×10^4kW at the SOL. The ion Bernstein wave (IBW) can effectively suppress the magnetohydrodynamic behaviour, the fluctuation levels and the turbulence; the D_⊥ in front of the limiter declines from 0.84 to 0.2m^2·s^{-1} and the particle confinement time rises from 9 to 12ms.

The carbon impurity ohmic discharges on particle transport in the HT-7 tokamak

The line-integrated optical measurement of impurity radiation profiles for the study of light impurity transport is performed in the HT-7 tokamak. The carbon impurity line emissivity is obtained by Abel inversion. The radial transport behaviours of carbon impurities at different central line averaged electron densities ne are investigated in ohmic discharges. The diffusion coefficient Dk（r）, the convection velocity Wk（r） and the total flux of the impurity ions Fk decrease with the increase of ne, which shows a reduction in the impurity particle transport at higher electron densities.

Soft x-ray PHA measurement of the long pulse discharge in HT-7 tokamak

By analyzing the soft x-ray energy spectrum measured by the soft x-ray pulse height analysis (PHA) system, the electron temperature (Te) and the effective charge number (Zeff) of the ultra-long pulse discharge driven by lower hybrid wave (LHW) were obtained in the HT-7 tokamak. Moreover, the information of medium-Z impurities such as Ti, Cr, Fe, and Ni intrinsic to HT-7 tokamak can also be inspected. The accuracy of the electron temperature derived from the soft x-ray energy spectrum measurements is verified by comparing with the temperature measured by the Thomson scattering system for various plasmas and electron cyclotron emission diagnostic system for ohmic plasmas. The bulk electron temperature of about 1 keV and Zeff≈2 were achieved for long pulse plasma. The appreciable Kα lines of Ti, Cr, Fe and Ni metallic impurities released from the antennas of radio frequency wave and/or the first wall and Ar injected into plasma can be observed, and they kept stable during the long duration discharges. As a result, the longest pulse discharge with relatively high temperature of Te(0)∼1 keV, and ne(0)∼0.5×¹⁰¹⁹ m−3 has been achieved with a duration of 400 s in the HT-7 experimental campaign in 2008.
