A unified theory of zonal flow shears and density corrugations in drift wave turbulence

Rameswar Singh, P H Diamond2021年Plasma Physics and Controlled FusionIF 2.2出版社

A unified theory of zonal flow shears and density corrugations in drift wave turbulence is presented. Polarization and density advection beat excitation are studied in combination with modulational response. Noise is driven by two-time flux correlation. While the effective zonal flow eddy viscosity can go negative, the zonal diffusivity is positive definite. There is no inverse cascade of density corrugation. The connection between avalanches and corrugations is discussed. The zonal cross-correlation is identified and calculated. Conditions for alignment of zonal shears and corrugation gradients are determined, and the implications for staircase structure are discussed. We show that the synergy of beat noise and modulational effects is stronger than either alone. Strong zonal flows can be excited well below the modulational instability threshold. In the context of L–H transition, zonal noise quenches turbulence overshoot by eliminating the threshold for zonal flow excitation. The power threshold for L–H transition is lowered.

帯状流シアとドリフト波乱流における密度起伏の統一的理論を提示する。密度対流とポロイダル流のビート励起を、変調応答と組み合わせて考察する。ノイズは二時間フラックス相関によって駆動される。有効帯状流渦粘性は負になり得る一方、帯状拡散係数は正定値である。密度起伏の逆カスケードは存在しない。アバランシェと起伏の関連について議論する。帯状クロス相関を同定し、計算する。帯状シアと密度勾配起伏の整列条件を決定し、階段構造への影響について議論する。ビート励起と変調効果の相乗効果は、それぞれ単独の場合よりも強いことを示す。強い帯状流は、変調不安定性の閾値よりはるかに低い領域でも励起され得る。L-H遷移の文脈では、帯状ノイズが帯状流励起の閾値を排除することにより、乱流のオーバーシュートを抑制する。L-H遷移のパワー閾値は低下する。
