Heat flux viscosity in collisional magnetized plasmas

Journal Article Fox, W.; Bhattacharjee, A. - Physics of Plasmas

Momentum transport in collisional magnetized plasmas due to gradients in the heat flux, a “heat flux viscosity,” is demonstrated. Even though no net particle flux is associated with a heat flux, in a plasma there can still be momentum transport owing to the velocity dependence of the Coulomb collision frequency, analogous to the thermal force. This heat-flux viscosity may play an important role in numerous plasma environments, in particular, in strongly driven high-energy-density plasma, where strong heat flux can dominate over ordinary plasma flows. The heat flux viscosity can influence the dynamics of the magnetic field in plasmas through themore »« less

Momentum transport and nonlocality in heat-flux-driven magnetic reconnection in high-energy-density plasmas

Journal Article Liu, Chang; Fox, William; Bhattacharjee, Amitava; ... - Physical Review E

Recent theory has demonstrated a novel physics regime for magnetic reconnection in high-energy-density plasmas where the magnetic field is advected by heat flux via the Nernst effect. In this paper, we elucidate the physics of the electron dissipation layer in this regime. Through fully kinetic simulation and a generalized Ohm's law derived from first principles, we show that momentum transport due to a nonlocal effect, the heat-flux-viscosity, provides the dissipation mechanism for magnetic reconnection. Scaling analysis, and simulations show that the reconnection process comprises a magnetic field compression stage and quasisteady reconnection stage, and the characteristic width of the currentmore »« less

Impact of plasma density/collisionality on divertor heat flux width

Journal Article Li, N.; Xu, X.; Goldston, R.; ... - Nuclear Fusion

Both ASDEX-Upgrade (AUG) data and the generalized HD (GHD) model showed that the scrape-off width broadens as the density/collisionality increases [1, 2]. A series of BOUT++ transport simulations are performed to study the physics of the scaling characteristics of the divertor heat flux width vs density/collisionality via a plasma density scan with either fixed pressure profile or fixed temperature profile inside separatrix. Additionally, the simulations show that even in the drift dominated regime, the divertor heat flux width can be broadened due to the transition of the SOL residence time from the parallel particle flow time to the enhanced parallelmore »« less

Thermal heat flux in a plasma for arbitrary collisionality

Journal Article Khan, S; Rognlien, T - Phys. Fluids; (United States)

The thermal heat flux along a uniform magnetic field due to a temperature gradient is calculated using a Monte Carlo solution to the Fokker--Planck equation. This numerical solution, which is computed for a particular electron temperature profile, is valid for arbitrary mean-free-path, lambda/sub mfp/. The calculated heat flux makes a smooth transition between the analytic expressions for the short and long lambda/sub mfp/ limits.
