摘要
平衡双零配置是边界等离子体物理的普遍兴趣,它们已被提出用于一些未来的设计。实验观测表明,在平衡双零配置下,托卡马克高场侧刮擦层中不存在等离子体波动(Smick et al., 2013),并且通常认为由于磁曲率的稳定作用,等离子体的不稳定性在边缘等离子体的高场侧被抑制。同时,实验证据表明,在高场侧,等离子体密度分布非常陡峭,这应该提供强大的不稳定驱动。本文采用解析和数值方法研究了托卡马克高场侧刮擦层中等离子体的不稳定性、湍流和输运特性。
Analysis of high-field side plasma instabilities in tokamak edge
Balanced double-null configurations are of general interest for boundary plasma physics, and they have been proposed for some future designs. Experimental observations demonstrate absence of plasma fluctuations in tokamak high-field side scrape-off layer in a balanced double-null configuration (Smick et al., 2013), and it is commonly assumed that plasma instabilities are suppressed on high-field side in the edge plasma due to the stabilizing effect of magnetic curvature. At the same time, the experimental evidence points to extremely steep plasma density profiles on high-field side, which should provide a strong instability drive. In the present study, the drift-resistive-ballooning mode instability model is investigated analytically and numerically to determine the characteristics of plasma instabilities, turbulence, and transport in tokamak scrape-off layer on high-field side.
