Electromagnetic Transport from Microtearing Mode Turbulence

Journal Article Guttenfelder, W ; Kaye, S M ; Bell, R E ; ... - Physical Review Letters

This Letter presents nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations of microtearing mode turbulence. The simulations include collisional and electromagnetic effects and use experimental parameters from a high-{beta} discharge in the National Spherical Torus Experiment. The predicted electron thermal transport is comparable to that given by experimental analysis, and it is dominated by the electromagnetic contribution of electrons free-streaming along the resulting stochastic magnetic field line trajectories. Experimental values of flow shear can significantly reduce the predicted transport.

Electromagnetic Transport From Microtearing Mode Turbulence

Technical Report Guttenfelder, W ; Kaye, S M ; Nevins, W M ; ...

This Letter presents non-linear gyrokinetic simulations of microtearing mode turbulence. The simulations include collisional and electromagnetic effects and use experimental parameters from a high beta discharge in the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX). The predicted electron thermal transport is comparable to that given by experimental analysis, and it is dominated by the electromagnetic contribution of electrons free streaming along the resulting stochastic magnetic field line trajectories. Experimental values of flow shear can significantly reduce the predicted transport.

Electromagnetic integral equation: Application to microtearing modes

Journal Article Farengo, R ; Lee, Y C ; Guzdar, P N - Phys. Fluids; (United States)

The integral equation technique previously developed for electrostatic drift waves to study low-frequency electromagnetic perturbation is extended. When sigma/sub e/>>sigma/sub i/ (as is the case for tearing modes) the problem can be reduced to the simultaneous solution of an integral and a differential equation. Using a Fourier representation for phi-tilde(x), a differential equation is derived from Ampere's law for a modified Green's function that contains the magnetic effects. This equation is solved simultaneously with an integral equation (corresponding to the quasineutrality condition in k space) to obtain the eigenvalues and corresponding eigenfunctions.

Microtearing modes and anomalous transport in tokamaks

Journal Article Drake, J F ; Gladd, N T ; Liu, C S ; ... - Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

Microtearing (high-m) modes driven by the electron temperature gradient are found to be unstable for present tokamak parameters. A self-consistent calculation of the nonlinear saturation of this instability yields magnetic fluctuations vertical-barBvertical-bar/B approx. = rho/sub e//L/sub T/. The associated crossfield electron thermal conductivity is shown to be inversely proportional to density, consistent with Alcator scaling, and comparable in magnitude with that inferred from experiments.
