在玻恩近似极限内和超出玻恩近似极限时由于湍流等离子体密度起伏引起的微波束展宽

Microwave beam broadening due to turbulent plasma density fluctuations within the limit of the Born approximation and beyond

摘要:

等离子体湍流,特别是边缘密度波动,在一定条件下可以显着加宽注入微波束的横截面。这对于依赖于微波功率的良好局部沉积的应用(如MHD不稳定性的控制)来说可能是严重的问题。在这里,我们调查这种增宽机制作为一个函数的波动水平,背景密度和传播长度在融合相关的情况下,使用两个数值代码,全波代码IPF-FDMC和新的波动动力学方程求解器WKBeam。后者使用统计方法处理波动的影响,基于散射问题的迭代解(玻恩近似)。全波模拟被用来基准这种方法。玻恩近似被证明是有效的,在一个大的参数范围内,包括ITER相关的情况。

英文摘要:

Plasma turbulence, and edge density fluctuations in particular, can under certain conditions broaden the cross-section of injected microwave beams significantly. This can be a severe problem for applications relying on well-localized deposition of the microwave power, like the control of MHD instabilities. Here we investigate this broadening mechanism as a function of fluctuation level, background density and propagation length in a fusion-relevant scenario using two numerical codes, the full-wave code IPF-FDMC and the novel wave kinetic equation solver WKBeam. The latter treats the effects of fluctuations using a statistical approach, based on an iterative solution of the scattering problem (Born approximation). The full-wave simulations are used to benchmark this approach. The Born approximation is shown to be valid over a large parameter range, including ITER-relevant scenarios.
