Numerical Verification of Bounce Harmonic Resonances in Neoclassical Toroidal Viscosity for Tokamaks

Technical Report Kimin Kim, Jong-Kyu Park and Allen H. Boozer

This Letter presents the rst numerical veri cation for the bounce-harmonic (BH) resonance phenomena of the neoclassical transport in a tokamak perturbed by non-axisymmetric magnetic elds. The BH resonances were predicted by analytic theories of neoclassical toroidal viscosity (NTV), as the parallel and perpendicular drift motions can be resonant and result in a great enhancement of the radial momentum transport. A new drift-kinetic f guiding-center particle code, POCA, clearly veri ed that the perpendicular drift motions can reduce the transport by phase-mixing, but in the BH resonances the motions can form closed orbits and particles radially drift out fast.

Neoclassical toroidal viscosity torque in tokamak edge pedestal induced by external resonant magnetic perturbation

Journal Article Yan, Xingting ; Zhu, Ping ; Sun, Youwen - Physics of Plasmas

The characteristic profile and magnitude are predicted in theory for the neoclassical toroidal viscosity (NTV) torque induced by the plasma response to the resonant magnetic perturbation (RMP) in a tokamak with an edge pedestal. For a low-β equilibrium, the NTV torque is dominated by the toroidal component with the same dominant toroidal mode number of RMPs. The NTV torque profile is found to be localized, whose peak location is determined by profiles of both the equilibrium temperature (pressure) and the plasma response. In general, the peak of the NTV torque profile is found to track the pedestal position. The magnitudemore »« less

Peak neoclassical toroidal viscosity at low toroidal rotation in the DIII-D tokamak

Journal Article Cole, A J ; Callen, J D ; Hegna, C C ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Observation of a theoretically predicted peak in the neoclassical toroidal viscous (NTV) force as a function of toroidal plasma rotation rate {Omega} is reported. The NTV was generated by applying n=3 magnetic fields from internal (I-)coils to low {Omega} plasmas produced with nearly balanced neutral beam injection. Locally, the peak corresponds to a toroidal rotation rate {Omega}{sub 0} where the radial electric field E{sub r} is near zero as determined by radial ion force balance.

Verification of neoclassical toroidal viscosity induced by energetic particles

Journal Article Wang, Zhirui R. ; Liu, Yueqiang ; Logan, Nikolas C. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

The thermal particles contributed neoclassical toroidal viscosity (NTV) have been successfully developed and explored by many impressive works such as the study by Shaing et al. [Phys. Plasmas 10, 1443 (2003)] and Zhu et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 225002 (2006)]. In this work, the scope of the NTV study is extended to explore the contribution of energetic particles (EPs) through both theory and experiments. In theory, the existence of the NTV torque due to the precessional drift resonance of trapped EPs is identified based on the equivalence between the NTV torque and the perturbed drift kinetic energy [J.

Neoclassical toroidal viscosity in perturbed equilibria with general tokamak geometry

Journal Article Logan, Nikolas C. ; Park, Jong-Kyu ; Kim, Kimin ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

This paper presents a calculation of neoclassical toroidal viscous torque independent of large-aspect-ratio expansions across kinetic regimes. The Perturbed Equilibrium Nonambipolar Transport (PENT) code was developed for this purpose, and is compared to previous combined regime models as well as regime specific limits and a drift kinetic δf guiding center code. It is shown that retaining general expressions, without circular large-aspect-ratio or other orbit approximations, can be important at experimentally relevant aspect ratio and shaping. The superbanana plateau, a kinetic resonance effect recently recognized for its relevance to ITER, is recovered by the PENT calculations and shown to require highlymore »« less
