摘要:

提出了一种通用的方法来区分能量粒子驱动的不稳定性产生频率啁啾或固定频率振荡的可能性。该方法采用数值计算的本征结构和多个共振表面的一个给定的模式中存在的高能离子阻力和随机性(由于碰撞和微湍流)。环形诱导,反向剪切和β诱导阿尔芬声学本征模作为例子。在实验中测得的波的特点和兼容性之间发现建议的标准预测和实验观察或缺乏观察的啁啾行为的Alfvenic模式在不同的托卡马克。研究发现,在许多等离子体实验中,微湍流引起的随机扩散是共振附近高能粒子失谐的主要机制,其强度是决定啁啾解是否产生的关键.所提出的标准构成了一个有用的预测工具,在评估是否在聚变装置中的快速离子损失的运输的性质将占主导地位的对流或扩散过程。

英文摘要:

A general methodology is proposed to differentiate the likelihood of energetic-particle-driven instabilities to produce frequency chirping or fixed-frequency oscillations. The method employs numerically calculated eigenstructures and multiple resonance surfaces of a given mode in the presence of energetic ion drag and stochasticity (due to collisions and micro-turbulence). Toroidicity-induced, reversed-shear and beta-induced Alfven-acoustic eigenmodes are used as examples. Waves measured in experiments are characterized and compatibility is found between the proposed criterion predictions and the experimental observation or lack of observation of chirping behavior of Alfvenic modes in different tokamaks. It is found that the stochastic diffusion due to micro-turbulence can be the dominant energetic particle detuning mechanism near the resonances in many plasma experiments, and its strength is the key as to whether chirping solutions are likely to arise. The proposed criterion constitutes a useful predictive tool in assessing whether the nature of the transport for fast ion losses in fusion devices will be dominated by convective or diffusive processes.
