Impact of centrifugal drifts on ion turbulent transport

Journal Article Belli, Emily A. ; Candy, J. - Physics of Plasmas

Here, the influence of sonic toroidal rotation on gyrokinetic stability and transport is studied, with important implications for heavy impurity dynamics. When centrifugal drifts and electrostatic trapping corrections are included, significant modifications to the calculated transport of heavy impurities are observed. These high-rotation corrections add to the standard Coriolis drift and toroidal rotation shear drive which are normally included in gyrokinetics. Yet, because of their complexity, centrifugal and electrostatic trapping terms (quadratic in the main ion Mach number) are not generally included in gyrokinetic codes. In this work, we explore the implications of using reduced descriptions of the rotational physics.more »« less

Stationary QH-mode plasmas with high and wide pedestal at low rotation on DIII-D

Journal Article Chen, Xi ; Burrell, K. H. ; Osborne, T. H. ; ... - Nuclear Fusion

A stationary, quiescent H-mode (QH-mode) regime with a wide pedestal and improved confinement at low rotation has been discovered on DIII-D with reactor relevant edge parameters and no ELMs. As the injected neutral beam torque is ramped down and the edge ExB rotation shear reduces, the transition from standard QH to the wide pedestal QH-mode occurs. And at the transition, the coherent edge harmonic oscillations (EHO) that usually regulate the standard QH edge cease and broadband edge MHD modes appear along with a rapid increase in the pedestal pressure height (by ≤60%) and width (by ≤50%). We posit that themore »« less

Verification and validation of integrated simulation of energetic particles in fusion plasmas

Journal Article Taimourzadeh, S. ; Bass, E. M. ; Chen, Y. ; ... - Nuclear Fusion

Here, we report on verification and validation of linear simulations of Alf´ven eigenmodes in the current ramp phase of DIII-D L-mode discharge #159243 using gyrokinetic, gyrokinetic-MHD hybrid, and eigenvalue codes. Using a classical fast ion profile, all simulation codes find that reversed shear Alf´ven eigenmodes (RSAE) are the dominant instability. The real frequencies from all codes have a coefficient of variation of less than 5% for the most unstable modes with toroidal mode number n = 4 and 5. Due to uncertainty in the experimentally measured minimum safety factor (q _min) and the sensitivity of the RSAE’s frequency to qmore »« less
