Abstract

Selected figures from the paper. Most figures are for growth rates computed with the NIMROD code as function of toroidal mode number. The only exception is Fig. 3 that show reconstruction of experimental ExB shear rates.

Effects beyond ideal MHD on stability of wide and enhanced pedestal regimes in NSTX

Journal Article Pankin, Alexei ; Ebrahimi, Fatima ; King, Jacob ; ... - Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion

Stability of edge-localized modes (ELMs) in spherical tokamaks is explored using the extended MHD model. Linear NIMROD simulations have been performed for three NSTX discharges 132543, 132588, and 141133, to investigate the role of resistivity, diffusivity, and shear flows on the onset of ELMs. The first discharge represents the wide pedestal regime and the later two discharges represent ELM-free enhanced pedestal H-mode. We first present the effect of toroidal rotation shear and find a flow shear destabilizing effect in these NSTX discharges. Simulations are also extended to include the two-fluid and ion gyroviscosity effects. Simulations show that the flow shearmore »« less
Enhanced Pedestal H-mode at low edge ion collisionality on NSTX

Dataset Battaglia, D J ; Guttenfelder, W ; Bell, R E ; ...

The Enhanced Pedestal (EP) H-mode regime is an attractive wide-pedestal ELM-free high-betap scenario for NSTX-U and next-step devices as it achieves enhanced energy confinement (H98y,2 > 1.5), large normalized pressure (betaN > 5) and significant bootstrap fraction (f_BS > 0.6) at I_p/B_T = 2 MA/T. This regime is realized when the edge ion collisionality becomes sufficiently small that a positive feedback interaction occurs between a reduction in the ion neoclassical energy transport and an increase in the particle transport from pressure-driven edge instabilities. EP H-mode was most often observed as a transition following a large ELM in conditions with lowmore »« less
MHD-blob correlations in NSTX

Dataset SJ, Zweben ; ED, Fredrickson ; Myra, JR ; ...

This paper describes a study of the cross-correlations between edge fluctuations as seen in the gas puff imaging (GPI) diagnostic and low frequency coherent magnetic fluctuations (MHD) in H-mode plasmas in NSTX. The main new result was that large blobs in the SOL were significantly correlated with MHD activity the 3-6 kHz range in 21 of the 223 shots examined. There were also many other shots in which fluctuations in the GPI signal level and its peak radius Rpeak were correlated with MHD activity, but without any significant correlation of the MHD with large blobs.

A Riccati Solution for the Ideal MHD Plasma Response with Applications to Real-time Stability Control

Dataset Glasser, A ; Kolemen, E ; Glasser, A H

To effectuate near real-time feedback control of ideal MHD instabilities in a tokamak geometry, a rapid solution for stability analysis is a prerequisite. Toward this end, we reformulate the δW stability method with a Hamilton-Jacobi theory, elucidating analytical and numerical features of the generic tokamak ideal MHD stability problem. The plasma response matrix is demonstrated to be the solution of an ideal MHD matrix Riccati differential equation (MRDE). Since Riccati equations are prevalent in the control theory literature, such a shift in perspective brings to bear a range of numerical methods that are well-suited to the robust, fast solution ofmore »« less
