强turbulence中的非线性平行动量输运

Nonlinear parallel momentum transport in strong turbulence

Lu Wang, Tiliang Wen, P. H. Diamond

摘要:

现有的动量输运理论研究大多集中在基于准线性理论的雷诺应力计算上,而没有考虑\emph{nonlinear}动量通量-- $<\tilde{v}_r \tilde{n} \tilde{u}_{\|} >$。然而,最近在TORPEX上进行的一项实验发现,与雷诺应力相比,由斑点引起的非线性环形动量通量做出了显著贡献[Labit等人,Plasmas { \bf 18},032308(2011)]。本文利用三维Hasegawa-Mima方程计算了强湍流中的非线性平行动量通量。结果表明,非线性扩散系数小于准线性扩散系数从雷诺应力。然而,在托卡马克边缘等离子体中,前导阶非线性残余应力可以与准线性残余应力相媲美,因此可能对内禀旋转很重要。非线性残余应力与准线性残余应力的一个关键区别是,非线性残余应力不需要平行波动谱的不对称性。

英文摘要:

Most existing theoretical studies of momentum transport focus on calculating the Reynolds stress based on quasilinear theory, without considering the \emph{nonlinear} momentum flux-$<\tilde{v}_r \tilde{n} \tilde{u}_{\|} >$. However, a recent experiment on TORPEX found that the nonlinear toroidal momentum flux induced by blobs makes a significant contribution as compared to the Reynolds stress [Labit et al., Phys. Plasmas {\bf 18}, 032308 (2011)]. In this work, the nonlinear parallel momentum flux in strong turbulence is calculated by using three dimensional Hasegawa-Mima equation. It is shown that nonlinear diffusivity is smaller than quasilinear diffusivity from Reynolds stress. However, the leading order nonlinear residual stress can be comparable to the quasilinear residual stress, and so could be important to intrinsic rotation in tokamak edge plasmas. A key difference from the quasilinear residual stress is that parallel fluctuation spectrum asymmetry is not required for nonlinear residual stress.
