Vertical forces during vertical displacement events in an ITER plasma and the role of halo currents

Journal Article Clauser, C. F. ; Jardin, S. C. ; Ferraro, N. M. - Nuclear Fusion

Vertical displacement events (VDEs) can occur in elongated tokamaks causing large currents to flow in the vessel and other adjacent metallic structures. To better understand the potential magnitude of the associated forces and the role of the so called \halo currents" on them, we have used the M3D-C1 code to simulate potential VDEs in ITER. We used actual values for the vessel resistivity and prequench temperatures and, unlike most of the previous studies, the halo region is naturally formed by triggering the thermal quench with an increase in the plasma thermal conductivity. We used the 2D non-linear version of themore »« less

Particle acceleration and fast magnetic reconnection

Journal Article Boozer, Allen H. - Physics of Plasmas

Mathematics demonstrates that the exponential separation of neighboring magnetic field lines, which naturally increases during an ideal evolution in three dimensions, leads to an exponentially increasing connection-breaking nonideal magnetic field. On a time scale that depends only logarithmically on the magnitude of the nonideal terms, a fast magnetic reconnection will generally occur, which has a rate determined by Alfvénic, not resistive, physics. The traditional assumption that the reconnecting flux must be dissipated by an electric field is false. In three dimensions, an ideal evolution can spatially mix the magnetic flux. Flux mixing conserves magnetic helicity, which limits the energy that can be transferred from the magnetic field to the plasma. The magnetic evolution is quasi-ideal during a fast magnetic reconnection, and the energy loss is given by the dot product of the magnetic field line velocitymore »« less
