Improved analytical flux surface representation and calculation models for poloidal asymmetries

Journal Article Collart, T. G., E-mail: tgcollar@southernco.com ; Stacey, W. M. - Physics of Plasmas

An orthogonalized flux-surface aligned curvilinear coordinate system has been developed from an up-down asymmetric variation of the “Miller” flux-surface equilibrium model. It is found that the new orthogonalized “asymmetric Miller” model representation of equilibrium flux surfaces provides a more accurate match than various other representations of DIII-D [J. L. Luxon, Nucl. Fusion 42, 614–633 (2002)] discharges to flux surfaces calculated using the DIII-D Equilibrium Fitting tokamak equilibrium reconstruction code. The continuity and momentum balance equations were used to develop a system of equations relating asymmetries in plasma velocities, densities, and electrostatic potential in this curvilinear system, and detailed calculations ofmore »« less

Modeling of stochastic broadening in a poloidally diverted discharge with piecewise analytic symplectic mapping flux functions

Journal Article Punjabi, Alkesh ; Ali, Halima ; Evans, Todd ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

A highly accurate calculation of the magnetic field line Hamiltonian in DIII-D [J. L. Luxon and L. E. Davis, Fusion Technol. 8, 441 (1985)] is made from piecewise analytic equilibrium fit data for shot 115467 3000 ms. The safety factor calculated from this Hamiltonian has a logarithmic singularity at an ideal separatrix. The logarithmic region inside the ideal separatrix contains 2.5% of toroidal flux inside the separatrix. The logarithmic region is symmetric about the separatrix. An area-preserving map for the field line trajectories is obtained in magnetic coordinates from the Hamiltonian equations of motion for the lines and a canonicalmore »« less

Calculation of the vibrational levels of electronically excited Ar-OH(A sup 2. Sigma. sup + ) using a proposed potential energy surface and analytic discrete variable representations

Journal Article Guan, Y ; Muckerman, J T - Journal of Physical Chemistry; (United States)

The vibrational levels of a potential energy surface recently proposed by Bowman et al., for the electronically excited van der Waals complex Ar-OH(A{sup 2}{summation}{sup +}) are calculated by using analytic discrete variable representations. The results, together with those of previous calculations and with experimental spectroscopic data on vibrational band origins, are used to suggest further refinements in the potential energy function.

Calculation of impurity poloidal rotation from measured poloidal asymmetries in the toroidal rotation of a tokamak plasma

Journal Article Chrystal, C. ; Burrell, K. H. ; Groebner, R. J. ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

To improve poloidal rotation measurement capabilities on the DIII-D tokamak, new chords for the charge exchange recombination spectroscopy (CER) diagnostic have been installed. CER is a common method for measuring impurity rotation in tokamak plasmas. These new chords make measurements on the high-field side of the plasma. They are designed so that they can measure toroidal rotation without the need for the calculation of atomic physics corrections. Asymmetry between toroidal rotation on the high- and low-field sides of the plasma is used to calculate poloidal rotation. Results for the main impurity in the plasma are shown and compared with amore »« less
