利用回旋动理学模拟研究了在具有共振磁扰动的 KSTAR 托卡马克中,磁岛对离子温度梯度(ITG)湍流的影响。模拟表明,输运受 ITG 湍流与自生涡流和带状流之间非线性相互作用的控制,从而在极向平面和环向上形成涨落与输运的各向异性结构。磁岛显著增强了粒子和热量的湍流输运。湍流输运在环向上表现出变化:当磁岛 X 点位于外侧中平面时,通过 X 点附近共振层的输运得到增强。模拟与 KSTAR 实验在时间频率和垂直波矢谱方面表现出定量一致。
英文摘要:
Gyrokinetic simulations are utilized to study effects of magnetic islands on the ion temperature gradient (ITG) turbulence in the KSTAR tokamak with resonant magnetic perturbations. Simulations show that the transport is controlled by the nonlinear interactions between the ITG turbulence and self-generated vortex flows and zonal flows, leading to an anisotropic structure of fluctuation and transport on the poloidal plane and in the toroidal direction. Magnetic islands greatly enhance turbulent transport of both particle and heat. The turbulent transport exhibits variations in the toroidal direction, with transport through the resonant layer near the island X-point being enhanced when the X-point is located at the outer mid-plane. A quantitative agreement is shown between simulations and KSTAR experiments in terms of time frequency and perpendicular wavevector spectrum.
