Geodesic acoustic mode (GAM) observations in TUMAN-3M tokamak show that in ohmic discharges with low plasma density GAM have intermittent character; transition to high confinement regime (LH-transition) is usually preceded by a short (up to 5 ms) GAM burst series with distinctive frequency drop, or there exists long (up to 30 ms) GAM burst series evolution with several characteristic timescales and varying amplitude. To determinate the effect of GAM temporal parameters on the possibility of LH-transition initiation numerical modeling of plasma density profile evolution under the effect of GAM burst sequence with varying frequency and amplitude was carried out.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
