Experimental Investigation of the Role of Fluid Turbulent Stresses and Edge Plasma Flows for Intrinsic Rotation Generation in DIII-D H-Mode Plasmas

Journal Article Mueller, S H ; Boedo, J A ; Moyer, R A ; ... - Physical Review Letters

The first measurements of turbulent stresses and flows inside the separatrix of a tokamak H-mode plasma are reported, using a reciprocating multitip Langmuir probe at the DIII-D tokamak. A strong co-current rotation layer at the separatrix is found to precede intrinsic rotation development in the core. The measured fluid turbulent stresses transport toroidal momentum outward against the velocity gradient and thus try to sustain the edge layer. However, large kinetic stresses must exist to explain the net inward momentum transport leading to co-current core plasma rotation. The importance of such kinetic stresses is corroborated by the success of a simplemore »« less

Journal Article Barada, Kshitish ; Rhodes, Terry L. ; Burrell, Keith H. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

A new, long-lived limit cycle oscillation (LCO) regime has been observed in the edge of near zero torque high-performance DIII-D tokamak plasma discharges. These LCOs are localized and comprised of density turbulence, gradient drives, and E X B velocity shear damping (E and B are the local radial electric and total magnetic fields). Density turbulence sequentially acts as a predator (via turbulence transport) of profile gradients and a prey (via shear suppression) to the E X B velocity shear. Reported here for the first time, a unique spatiotemporal variation of the local E X B velocity which is found tomore »« less

Intrinsic rotation generation in ELM-free H-mode plasmas in the DIII-D tokamak--Experimental observations

Journal Article Mueller, S H ; Tynan, G R ; Center for Momentum Transport and Flow Organization, University of California of San Diego, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, California 92093 ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

A detailed description is presented of the experiment reported in [S. H. Mueller et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 115001 (2011)], which reported the first measurements of fluid turbulent stresses in a tokamak H-mode pedestal. Mach probe measurements disclosed a narrow co-current rotation layer at the separatrix, which is also seen in some L-modes [J. A. Boedo et al., Phys. Plasmas 18, 032510 (2011)]. Independent evidence for the existence of the edge co-rotation layer is presented from main-ion rotation measurements by charge-exchange-recombination spectroscopy in comparable helium plasmas. The probe measurements are validated against density and electron temperature profiles from Thomsonmore »« less
