Magnetic Fluctuation Measurement in Sino United Spherical Tokamak Plasma

To investigate the magnetic fluctuations and for further transport study, the poloidal and radial magnetic field t is conducted on the Sino United Spherical Tokamak （SUNIST）. Auto-power spectral density indicares that the magnetic fiuctuation energy mainly concentrates in the frequency region lower than lO kttz. The magnetic field oscillations, which are characterized by harmonic frequencies of 40 kHz, are observed in the scrape- off layer; by contrast, in the plasma core, the magnetic fluctuations are of Gaussian type. The time-frequency profiles show that the poloidal magnetic fluctuations are temporally intermittent. The autocorrelation calculation indicates that the fluctuations in decorrelation time vary between the core and the edge.     

Temporal Energy Cascading in the Beat Wave Accelerator

A preliminary analytic study of the temporal evolution of the beat wave accelerator (BWA) has been conducted. It was found that while energy cascading is crucial to the interpretation of current simulations, it will be less important in an actual device where the existing simple fluid model will be adequate.     

Spectral Characteristics of Edge Electrostatic Turbulence in the HL-2A Tokamak

A three-tip array is used in the HL-2A tokamak to investigate the spectral characteristics of electrostatic turbulence inside the last closed flux surface （LCFS） about 5 cm. Two-point correlation techniques are used to analysis the turbulence structure. It is found that the drift wave turbulence mainly is composed of low-frequency and long wavelength wave packets. The poloidal propagation is mainly in electron-diamagnetic direction, sometimes it propagates in ion-diamagnetic direction, which is influenced by Doppler-frequency shift. The radial propagation velocity is outward and the sizeable fraction of the poloidal velocity, implying that the radial mode plays an important role in the cross field transport.

Nonlinear Simulations of the Bump-on-Tail Instabilities in Tokamak Plasmas

We reproduce nonlinear behaviors,including frequency chirping and mode splitting,referred to as bump-on-tail instabilities.As has been reported in previous works,the generation and motion of phase-space hole-clump pairs in a kinetically driven,dissipative system can result in frequency chirping.We provide examples of frequency chirping,both with and without pure diffusion,in order to illustrate the role of the diffusion effect,which can suppress holes and clumps;Asymmetric frequency chirpings are produced with drag effect,which is essential to enhance holes,and suppress clumps.Although both diffusion and drag effect suppress the clumps,downward sweepings are observed,caused by a complicated interaction of diffusion and drag.In addition,we examine the discrepancies in frequency chirping between marginally unstable,and far from marginally unstable cases,which we elucidate by means of a dissipative system.In addition,mode splitting is also produced via BOT code for a marginal case with large diffusion.     

Hot Vertical-Displacement-Event Process due to Internal Energy Perturbations for HL-2M Tokamak Plasma

During the tokamak operation,variation of the stored energy can cause internal perturbations of the plasma.These perturbations may develop into large-scale vertical movement of the whole column for the vertically elongated tokamak,eventually generating the hot vertical displacement event(VDE).It will cause considerable damage to the machine.In this work,the hot VDE process due to stored energy perturbations is investigated by a mature non-linear time-evolution code DINA.The influence on the vertical instability,the displacement direction and the electromagnetic loads on in-vessel components during the hot VDE are analyzed.It is shown that a larger perturbation leads to faster development of the vertical instability.Meanwhile the variation of the Shafranov shift,due to the energy change,is related to the VDE direction.The vertical electromagnetic force on the vacuum vessel and the halo current flowing in the divertor baffle become larger in the case of VDE moving towards the X point.

Field Confinement Energy at a Nonlinear Interface between Nonlinear Defocusing Media

The dependences of the resistance of the layered quasi-one-dimensional semiconductor TiS₃ on the direction and magnitude of the magnetic field B have been measured. The anisotropy and angular dependences of the magnetoresistance indicate the two-dimensional character of the conductivity at T < 100 K. Below T₀ ≈ 50 K, the magnetoresistance for the directions of the field in the plane of the layers (ab plane) increases sharply, whereas the transverse magnetoresistance (B ∥ c) becomes negative. The results confirm the possibility of an electron phase transition to a collective state at T₀. The negative magnetoresistance (at B ∥ c) below T₀ is explained by the magnetic-field-induced suppression of two-dimensional weak localization. The positive magnetoresistance (at B ∥ ab) is explained by the effect of the magnetic field on the spectrum of electronic states.     

Poloidal Structure of the Turbulence and the Turbulent Flux During Edge Plasma Biasing in the Castor Tokamak

The poloidal structure of the turbulence and the turbulent particle flux in the scrape-off layer (SOL) of the CASTOR tokamak are analysed by means of a poloidal ring of 124 probes distributed uniformly along the whole poloidal circumference. Fluctuation measurements are performed in standard ohmic regime as well as in discharges when a biased electrode is inserted either into the SOL or deeper into the confinement region. It is found that in both cases a strongly sheared radial electric field is created in the SOL, which de-correlates the density and radial velocity fluctuations and reduces their levels. Consequently, the turbulent flux is reduced. However, no phase shift is observed between density and radial velocity fluctuations. When the electrode is localized in the confinement region, all the above effects are less pronounced because of a smaller shear. In addition, the increase of the E × B velocity at biasing leads in both cases to the formation of oscillations in the temporal correlation function. These oscillations are specifically associated to the poloidal mode (m = q), which is created for a limited time and rotates poloidally. This mode does not modify the phase between density and radial velocity fluctuations and has no further effect on the turbulent flux.     

Modelling of the Effect of the Sheared Poloidal Flow on the Electrostatic Turbulence on the CASTOR Tokamak

Electrostatic drift turbulence of the edge plasma in the CASTOR tokamak is studied numerically by using the Hasegawa-Wakatani equations. The fluctuations of plasma density and potential as well as the corresponding fluctuation-induced particle flux are calculated for regimes with various plasma poloidal flows. Results of numerical simulations are in a reasonable agreement with experimental results.     

Energy Transfer in Spectra of the d-Dimensional Past Grid Turbulence

Free decay theory of the homogeneous and isotropic developed turbulence isconsidered in the d-dimensional case. The basic quantities under our consideration are the kinetic energy spectrum E(k,t) and energy transfer spectrum T(k,t) as functions of wave number k and decay time t. Starting point for studying E and T represents their adaptation from the stationary model which predicts the Kolmogorov spectrum which is multiplicatively dependent on an unknown scaling function F. In order to study the spectra of decaying turbulence both parameters l and εɛ are supposed to be dependent on t. Formerly derived basic integro–differential equation for F (by Adzhemyan, et al., 1998) has been here solved numerically in the dimension interval d∈(2, 3) for two cases of the Saffman invariant and the Loitsyansky integral fixing an arbitrary theor parameter α (α ⩵ 2 and 4, correspondingly). The energy transfer spectrum T(k) has been analyzed for several dimensions d≤3 showing the presence of integration regions in the wavenumber space where an inverse energy cascade can occur.
