Three-dimensional drift kinetic response of high- plasmas in the DIII-D tokamak
Abstract
A quantitative interpretation of the experimentally measured high pressure plasma response to externally applied three-dimensional (3D) magnetic field perturbations, across the no-wall Troyon limit, is achieved. The key to success is the self-consistent inclusion of the drift kinetic resonance effects in numerical modeling using the MARS-K code. This resolves an outstanding issue of ideal magneto-hydrodynamic model, which signi cantly over-predicts the plasma induced field ampli fication near the no-wall limit, as compared to experiments. The self-consistent drift kinetic model leads to quantitative agreement not only for the measured 3D field amplitude and toroidal phase, but also for the measured internal 3D displacement of the plasma.
