Effect of the limiter configuration on the electron temperature gradient instability in the Tokamak scrape-off layer

D Farina, R Pozzoli, D Ryutov1993年Plasma Physics and Controlled FusionIF 2.2出版社

A strong instability has been discovered caused by the interplay of two factors: (i) the gradient of the electron temperature across the magnetic field lines and (ii) the formation of Debye sheaths at the conducting end walls terminating the plasma along the magnetic field. The instability can be of some importance for the physics of tokamak scrape-off layers as it can determine the layer thickness. The authors generalize a previous analysis to the case of non-orthogonal intersections of the magnetic field with the wall surface, i.e. to the situation which is most typical for a tokamak with a limiter. The new effects which appear are caused by the change of the flux-tube length (between the walls) in the course of its displacement in the radial direction. Depending on the sign of the scalar product n.grad Te, where n is a unit vector normal to the wall, there can occur either suppression of the initial instability or its considerable enhancement. The possible influence of these effects on the transport coefficients in the scrape-off layer is evaluated. Under realistic assumptions on plasma parameters, this influence can be quite significant.

磁場線を横切る電子温度の勾配と、磁場に沿ってプラズマを終端する導電性端壁におけるデバイシースの形成という、二つの要因の相互作用によって引き起こされる強い不安定性が発見された。この不安定性は、トカマクのスクレイプオフ層の物理において重要となり得る。なぜなら、それが層の厚さを決定し得るからである。著者らは、磁場と壁面との交差が非直交である場合、すなわちリミターを備えたトカマクで最も典型的な状況へと、以前の解析を一般化する。新たに現れる効果は、径方向への変位の過程における(壁間の)磁束管長の変化によって引き起こされる。壁に垂直な単位ベクトルをnとするとき、スカラー積n・∇Teの符号に応じて、初期の不安定性の抑制またはその顕著な増大のいずれかが生じ得る。これらの効果がスクレイプオフ層の輸送係数に及ぼす可能性のある影響が評価される。プラズマパラメータに関する現実的な仮定の下では、この影響はかなり顕著であり得る。
