强梯度区的陀螺运动方程

Gyrokinetic Equations for Strong-Gradient Regions

Andris M. Dimits

摘要:

本文发展了一套适用于托卡马克和其它磁约束装置的边缘区以及内部输运势垒的旋动力学理论。其结果是一个实用的一组方程,是有效的大扰动振幅[qδ/T = O(1),其中δ = δ- v_par δA_par/c],这是简单的数字实现,并具有其守恒性质的直接表达式。这里,q是粒子电荷,δ ε和δA_par是扰动的静电势和平行磁势,v_par是平行速度,c是光速,T是温度。推导是基于量ε:=(ρ/λ)qδ θ/T << 1作为小展开参数,其中ρ是回转半径,λ是垂直波长。物理上,这种排序要求E \times B速度和垂直于平衡磁场的平行速度分量与热速度相比较小。对于在“混合长度”水平处饱和的非线性波动(即,在这样的水平上,轮廓量中的驱动梯度局部变平),ε是ρ/L阶,其中L是平衡轮廓尺度长度,对于范围从ρ到L的所有尺度λ。即使对于λ ~ L,qδ ε/T = O(1)也是如此。从排序L/R =O(ε)得到显著的额外简化,其中R是磁场变化的空间尺度。我们认为,这些排序是很好地满足在强梯度区域,如边缘和screapeoff层区域和内部输运障碍托卡马克,并预计我们的方程将是有用的,作为这些地区的模拟模型的基础。

英文摘要:

A gyrokinetic theory is developed under a set of orderings applicable to the edge region of tokamaks and other magnetic confinement devices, as well as to internal transport barriers. The result is a practical set equations that is valid for large perturbation amplitudes [qδψ/T = O(1), where δψ = δϕ - v_par δA_par/c], which is straightforward to implement numerically, and which has straightforward expressions for its conservation properties. Here, q is the particle charge, δϕ and δA_par are the perturbed electrostatic and parallel magnetic potentials, v_par is the parallel velocity, c is the speed of light, and T is the temperature. The derivation is based on the quantity ε:=(ρ/λ)qδψ/T << 1 as the small expansion parameter, where ρ is the gyroradius and λ is the perpendicular wavelength. Physically, this ordering requires that the E\times B velocity and the component of the parallel velocity perpendicular to the equilibrium magnetic field are small compared to the thermal velocity. For nonlinear fluctuations saturated at "mixing-length" levels (i.e., at a level such that driving gradients in profile quantities are locally flattened), ε is of order ρ/L, where L is the equilibrium profile scale length, for all scales λ ranging from ρ to L. This is true even though qδψ/T = O(1) for λ ~ L. Significant additional simplifications result from ordering L/R =O(ε), where R is the spatial scale of variation of the magnetic field. We argue that these orderings are well satisfied in strong-gradient regions, such as edge and screapeoff layer regions and internal transport barriers in tokamaks, and anticipate that our equations will be useful as a basis for simulation models for these regions.
