Effects of pressure gradient on global Alfvén eigenmodes in reversed field pinch

Journal Article Cai, Huishan; Fu, Guoyong; Lin, Liang; ... - Physics of Plasmas

The effects of pressure gradient on the existence of global Alfvén eigenmodes (GAE) in Reversed Field Pinch are studied by numerical calculation. It is found that GAEs near the plasma core can exist when pressure gradient is sufficiently large. The calculated mode frequency and structure are consistent with the experimental results in the Madison Symmetric Torus.

Dissipation in the magnetic turbulence of reversed field pinch plasmas

Journal Article Titus, J.; Almagri, A.; Terry, P.; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Reversed field pinch (RFP) plasmas are subject to tearing instability that creates a broad spectrum of magnetic fluctuations. The dominant fluctuations have poloidal and toroidal mode numbers (m,n)=(1,6−10) and can grow to 2–3% of the mean magnetic field. Through nonlinear coupling, this growth culminates in a strong reconnection event and broadening of the magnetic spectrum extending to the ion gyroradius scale. Multiple developments occur during the reconnection stage: ions and electrons are energized, magnetic fluctuation amplitudes increase, plasma flow is halted, and the toroidal magnetic flux increases in a sawtooth-like fashion as the RFP dynamo becomes stronger. Magnetic fluctuations aremore »« less

Observation of trapped-electron-mode microturbulence in reversed field pinch plasmas

Journal Article Duff, J.; Williams, Z.; Brower, D.; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Density fluctuations in the large-density-gradient region of improved confinement Madison Symmetric Torus reversed field pinch (RFP) plasmas exhibit multiple features that are characteristic of the trapped-electron mode (TEM). Core transport in conventional RFP plasmas is governed by magnetic stochasticity stemming from multiple long-wavelength tearing modes. Using inductive current profile control, these tearing modes are reduced, and global confinement is increased to that expected for comparable tokamak plasmas. Under these conditions, new short-wavelength fluctuations distinct from global tearing modes appear in the spectrum at a frequency of f ~ 50 kHz, which have normalized perpendicular wave numbers k_⊥ρ_s≲0.2 and propagate inmore »« less

The radial phase variation of reversed-shear and toroidicity-induced Alfvén eigenmodes in DIII-D

Journal Article Heidbrink, W.; Hansen, E.; Austin, M.; ... - Nuclear Fusion

The eigenfunction of an instability contains information about energy flow in the wave. Here, the amplitude and phase of electron cyclotron emission radiometer data from hundreds of DIII-D reversed shear Alfvén eigenmodes (RSAE) and toroidicity-induced Alfvén eigenmodes (TAE) are analyzed along the outboard horizontal midplane. The radial phase profile can be flat, linearly rising or falling, convex or concave; in other words, a wide variety of shapes is observed. For a particular mode, often the radial phase profile remains approximately constant as the mode evolves in time but sometimes it changes rapidly. Many TAEs and some RSAEs have phase profilesmore »« less
