Physics of GAM-initiated L–H transition in a tokamak

Abstract: Based on experimental observations using the TUMAN-3M and FT-2 tokamaks, and the results of gyrokinetic modeling of the interplay between turbulence and the geodesic acoustic mode (GAM) in these installations, a simple model is proposed for the analysis of the conditions required for L-H transition triggering by a burst of radial electric field oscillations in a tokamak. In the framework of this model, one-dimensional density evolution is considered to be governed by an anomalous diffusion coefficient dependen… Show more

“…These modes may drive anomalous plasma transport and energetic ions loss, as it has been theoretically established 2,3 and experimentally observed. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Furthermore, they may be useful as a diagnostic tool to indicate the L-H confinement transition [4][5][6] in tokamaks. Eigenmodes in the geodesic frequency range have been experimentally observed for a wide range of tokamak ohmic discharges 7,8 and were also detected in ion cyclotron resonance (ICR) 9 and Neutral Beam (NB) heating discharges.…”

[10][11][12][13][14] In the latter case, the instability is preferentially driven by counter injection in comparison to coinjection, especially during the current rump-up.…”

“…Необходимо отметить, что в таком диапазоне значений концентрации возможен только LH-переход, инициированный приложенным извне сильным неоднородным полем E r (в отличие от спонтанного LH-перехода при более высоких концентрациях). В рассматриваемых раз- рядах подобного воздействия на плазму нет, поэтому предполагается, что именно ГАМ является фактором, инициирующим LH-переход; возможность такого инициирования, согласующаяся с экспериментом, была описана в [9]. В токамаке ТУМАН-3М наблюдается два характерных сценария разрядов с ГАМ перед LH-переходом.…”

“…Максимальная амплитуда колебаний ГАМ в обоих сценариях была примерно одинаковой: 4.5−5.5 kV/m (значение получено из измерений скорости полоидального вращения при помощи ДОР и из величины коле-баний потенциала, зарегистрированных ДПТИ, с учетом данных ДОР относительно пространственных характеристик ГАМ, см. [8,9]).…”
