Analysis of shot-to-shot variability in post-disruption runaway electron currents for diverted DIII-D discharges

V A Izzo, D A Humphreys, M Kornbluth2012年Plasma Physics and Controlled FusionIF 2.2出版社

In DIII-D experiments, rapid termination by Ar-pellet injection sometimes produces a post-termination runaway electron (RE) current plateau, but this effect is highly non-reproducible on a shot-to-shot basis, particularly for diverted target plasmas. A set of DIII-D discharges is analyzed with two MHD codes to understand the relationship between the current profile of the target plasma and the amplitude of the RE current plateau. Using the linear stability code GATO, a correlation between the radial profile of the unstable n = 1 mode just after Ar-pellet injection and the observed appearance of an RE plateau is identified. Nonlinear NIMROD simulations with RE test-particle calculations directly predict RE confinement times during the disruption. With one exception, NIMROD predicts better RE confinement for shots in which higher RE currents were observed in DIII-D. But, the variation in confinement is primarily connected to the saturated n = 1 mode amplitude and not its radial profile. Still, both sets of analyses support the hypothesis that RE deconfinement by MHD fluctuations is a major factor in the shot-to-shot variability of RE plateaus, though additional factors such as seed current amplitude cannot be ruled out.

DIII-D実験において、Arペレット注入による急速な終止は、時として終止後の逃走電子(RE)電流プラトーを生成するが、この効果は、特にダイバータ配位のプラズマにおいて、ショットごとの再現性が非常に低い。DIII-Dの一連の放電を2つのMHDコードを用いて解析し、標的プラズマの電流分布とRE電流プラトーの振幅との関係を理解する。線形安定性コードGATOを用いて、Arペレット注入直後の不安定なn=1モードの動径分布と、観測されたREプラトーの出現との間の相関関係を特定する。非線形NIMRODシミュレーションとREテスト粒子計算により、崩壊中のRE閉じ込めを直接予測する。1つの例外を除き、NIMRODは、DIII-Dにおいてより高いRE電流が観測されたショットについて、より良いRE閉じ込めを予測する。しかし、その変動は主に飽和したn=1モードの振幅に起因しており、その動径分布には起因しない。さらに、両方の解析セットは、MHD揺動によるRE非閉じ込めが、REプラトーのショット間変動の主要因であるという仮説を支持するが、種電子電流の振幅などの追加的要因を排除することはできない。
