摘要:

本文通过拓展我们此前的研究[H. Sugama等人,《Phys. Plasmas》第25卷,102506 (2018)],在一般空间坐标下提出了带静电湍流的回旋动力学系统的欧拉变分公式。利用系统拉格朗日量在任意空间坐标变换下的不变性,推导了由回旋中心分布函数与湍流势满足的局域动量平衡方程,二者均为控制方程的解。该推导方法与采用空间平移的传统方法形成对比,传统方法中不对称正则压强张量通常会进入动量平衡方程。在本研究中,通过对拉格朗日密度关于度量张量取变分,直接得到了包含湍流动量输运效应的对称压强张量。此外,本文还阐明了当在回旋动力学方程中加入碰撞项和/或外源项时,动量平衡会如何修正。本文所得结果被认为可用于研究新经典输运与湍流输运过程的全局回旋动力学模拟,即便在一般非轴对称环形系统中也适用。

英文摘要:

The Eulerian variational formulation of the gyrokinetic system with electrostatic turbulence is presented in general spatial coordinates by extending our previous work [H. Sugama, {\it et al}., Phys.\ Plasmas {\bf 25}, 102506 (2018)]. The invariance of the Lagrangian of the system under an arbitrary spatial coordinate transformation is used to derive the local momentum balance equation satisfied by the gyrocenter distribution functions and the turbulent potential which are given as solutions of the governing equations. This derivation is in contrast with the conventional method using the spatial translation in which the asymmetric canonical pressure tensor generally enters the momentum balance equation. In the present study, the variation of the Lagrangian density with respect to the metric tensor is taken to directly obtain the symmetric pressure tensor which includes the effect of turbulence on the momentum transport. In addition, it is shown in this work how the momentum balance is modified when the collision and/or external source terms are added to the gyrokinetic equation. The results obtained here are considered useful for global gyrokinetic simulations investigating both neoclassical and turbulent transport processes even in general non-axisymmetric toroidal systems.
