Consequences of finite transport on the effectiveness of ECCD for neoclassical tearing mode stabilization in ITER

N. Bertelli, E. Westerhof2009年被引用 19Nuclear FusionIF 3出版社

One of the main aims of the ITER electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) system, in particular of the Upper Port Launcher, is the control of magnetohydrodynamics instabilities. This control typically requires non-inductively driven currents with a high degree of localization, i.e. with a very narrow profile. A numerical analysis of the effect of the radial diffusion of the EC driven current carrying electrons has been performed in order to estimate the effectiveness of electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) for neoclassical tearing mode (NTM) stabilization. In particular, Fokker–Planck calculations including radial diffusion for the case of the ITER ECRH Upper Port Launcher are presented. These show a significant decrease in the local current density when radial diffusion at a rate of only 1 m2 s−1 is included and consequently a broadening of the profile with a drop in the predicted efficiency for NTM control. Furthermore, it is shown that a simple formula combining the effect of the radial diffusion and the width of the EC power deposition profile reproduces quite accurately the maximum EC driven current density, which is the more relevant number in determining the NTM suppression figure of merit, for typical ITER parameters.

ITERの電子サイクロトロン共鳴加熱(ECRH)システム、特に上部ポートランチャーの主な目的の一つは、磁気流体力学的不安定性の制御である。この制御には通常、高い局所性、すなわち非常に狭いプロファイルを持つ非誘導電流駆動が必要とされる。新古典テアリングモード(NTM)安定化に対する電子サイクロトロン電流駆動(ECCD)の有効性を評価するため、EC駆動電流担体の径方向拡散の影響に関する数値解析が実施された。特に、ITERのECRH上部ポートランチャーの場合について、径方向拡散を含むフォッカー・プランク計算が提示されている。これらの計算により、径方向拡散がわずか1 m²s⁻¹の割合で含まれるだけで、局所電流密度が有意に減少し、その結果プロファイルが広がって、NTM安定化の予測効率が低下することが示された。さらに、径方向拡散とEC電力堆積プロファイルの幅の効果を組み合わせた単純な式が、典型的なITERパラメータに対して、NTM抑制の性能指数を決定する上でより重要な量である最大EC駆動電流密度を極めて正確に再現することが示されている。
