The role of asymmetries in the growth and suppression of neoclassical tearing modes

D De Lazzari, E Westerhof2011年Plasma Physics and Controlled FusionIF 2.2出版社

The evolution of neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs) is usually described by the generalized Rutherford equation for a symmetric magnetic island. Despite the success of this representation, various experiments have found the evidence of asymmetries in the island geometry. A generalization of the model suggests that a number of effects, such as a quasi-linear correction of the constant-ψ approximation, a shear flow or a temperature gradient across the island, might be responsible for the deformation of the island geometry. In addition, it is noted that the symmetry is broken in the radial direction also by a finite third order derivative in the equilibrium helical flux function. This paper addresses the role of these asymmetries in the growth and suppression of NTMs in a slab geometry, with particular attention to the implications for the local current drive (ECCD) and resonant heating (ECRH) terms. The stabilizing contributions provided by electron cyclotron waves to NTMs are found to be largely unaffected by these perturbations. These results correct and extend some of the conclusions presented in Lazzaro and Nowak (2009 Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion51 035005).

新古典撕裂模(NTM)の進化は、通常、対称な磁気島に対する一般化ラザフォード方程式によって記述される。この表現の成功にもかかわらず、様々な実験において磁気島の幾何形状に非対称性の証拠が見出されている。モデルの一般化は、定数ψ近似の準線形補正、シア流、または磁気島を横切る温度勾配などのいくつかの効果が、磁気島の幾何形状の変形の原因となり得ることを示唆している。さらに、平衡螺旋磁束関数の有限の三階微分によっても、半径方向の対称性が破られることが指摘されている。本論文は、スラブ幾何学におけるNTMの成長と抑制におけるこれらの非対称性の役割を扱い、局所電流駆動(ECCD)および共鳴加熱(ECRH)項への影響に特に注目する。電子サイクロトロン波によって提供されるNTMの安定化寄与は、これらの摂動によって大部分が影響を受けないことが見出される。これらの結果は、Lazzaro and Nowak(2009 Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 51 035005)で提示された結論の一部を修正し、拡張するものである。
