This paper introduces an innovative method for reconstructing 2D magnetic flux contours and plasma parameters of dynamically moving tokamak plasmas. While conventional methods like EFIT, based on the Grad–Shafranov equation, are suitable for plasma equilibria with a single magnetic axis, our approach utilizes the MHD equations and shows promise for tokamak plasmas in motion or containing multiple magnetic axes, which may not strictly adhere to plasma equilibria. By utilizing limited edge magnetic probe measurements, our developed model successfully reconstructs the time evolution of two merging plasma toroids in the TS-6 experiment. A comparison with direct 2D magnetic probe measurements in a low β regime reveals a reconstruction error of approximately 3%.

ENThis paper should be read by fusion researchers and engineers working on plasma diagnostics and modeling, as it offers a novel technique to improve the reconstruction of complex, dynamic tokamak plasmas.#MHD #PlasmaReconstruction #FusionDiagnostics #DynamicPlasmas

This paper presents a new method to reconstruct the shape and properties of tokamak plasmas, even when they are moving or have multiple magnetic centers. Unlike previous methods, this approach uses MHD equations and limited edge measurements to track the dynamic evolution of plasma, promising better accuracy for non-equilibrium plasmas.

この論文は、トカマクプラズマの2D磁束輪郭とプラズマパラメータを動的に再構築する革新的な手法を紹介しています。従来のEFIT法とは異なり、MHD方程式を利用することで、単一の磁気軸を持たない動的なプラズマの再構築が可能になります。TS-6実験の2つの合体プラズマトーラスの時間発展を、限られた端部磁気プローブ測定から正確に再構築できることを示しています。
