A current-driven electromagnetic mode in sheared and toroidal configurations

István Pusztai, Peter J Catto, Felix I Parra, Michael Barnes2014年Plasma Physics and Controlled FusionIF 2.2出版社

The induced electric field in a tokamak drives a parallel electron current flow. In an inhomogeneous, finite beta plasma, when this electron flow is comparable to the ion thermal speed, the Alfvén mode wave solutions of the electromagnetic gyrokinetic equation can become nearly purely growing kink modes. Using the new 'low-flow' version of the gyrokinetic code GS2 developed for momentum transport studies (Barnes et al 2013 Phys. Rev. Lett.111 055005), we are able to model the effect of the induced parallel electric field on the electron distribution to study the destabilizing influence of current on stability. We identify high mode number kink modes in GS2 simulations and make comparisons to analytical theory in sheared magnetic geometry. We demonstrate reassuring agreement with analytical results both in terms of parametric dependences of mode frequencies and growth rates, and regarding the radial mode structure.

トカマクにおける誘導電場は、平行な電子流を駆動する。不均一で有限ベータのプラズマ中において、この電子流がイオン熱速度に匹敵する場合、電磁ジャイロ運動論方程式のアルフヴェンモード解は、ほぼ純粋な成長モードのキンクモードとなり得る。運動量輸送研究のために開発された新しい「低流速」版ジャイロ運動論コードGS2(Barnesら 2013 Phys. Rev. Lett.111 055005)を用いることで、誘導された平行電場が電子分布に及ぼす影響をモデル化し、電流が安定性に与える不安定化効果を研究することができる。我々はGS2シミュレーションにおいて高モード数のキンクモードを同定し、シア付き磁場配位における解析理論との比較を行った。その結果、モード周波数と成長率のパラメトリック依存性、および動径方向のモード構造の両方において、解析理論との良好な一致が確認された。
