    Notes: Equilibrium and stability analyses have identified a class of tokamak configurations with conventional safety factor profiles (q0∼qmin(approximately-greater-than)1) at moderately high li(li∼1.0), and high normalized β(βN∼3.5–4.0), that are stable to the ideal n=1 kink without the requirement of wall stabilization. In contrast to previously identified high li, high βN equilibria, these configurations have high bootstrap current fractions (fBS∼50%–70%); they require only modest central current drive for maintaining steady state and are therefore compatible with advanced tokamak (AT) operation. Strong plasma shaping is crucial for achieving the high β and high bootstrap fraction simultaneously. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A tokamak equilibrium model, local to a flux surface, is introduced which is completely described in terms of nine parameters including aspect ratio, elongation, triangularity, and safety factor. By allowing controlled variation of each of these nine parameters, the model is particularly suitable for localized stability studies such as those carried out using the ballooning mode representation of the gyrokinetic equations. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Low aspect ratio tokamaks (LATs) can potentially provide a high ratio of plasma pressure to magnetic pressure β and high plasma current I at a modest size. This opens up the possibility of a high-power density compact fusion power plant. For the concept to be economically feasible, bootstrap current must be a major component of the plasma current, which requires operating at high βp. A high value of the Troyon factor βN and strong shaping is required to allow simultaneous operation at a high-β and high bootstrap fraction. Ideal magnetohydrodynamic stability of a range of equilibria at aspect ratio 1.4 is systematically explored by varying the pressure profile and shape. The pressure and current profiles are constrained in such a way as to assure complete bootstrap current alignment. Both βN and β are defined in terms of the vacuum toroidal field. Equilibria with βN≥8 and β∼35%–55% exist that are stable to n=∞ ballooning modes. The highest β case is shown to be stable to n=0,1,2,3 kink modes with a conducting wall. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The confinement and the stability properties of the DIII-D tokamak [Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research 1986 (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, 1987), Vol. 1, p. 159] high-performance discharges are evaluated in terms of rotational and magnetic shear, with an emphasis on the recent experimental results obtained from the negative central magnetic shear (NCS) experiments. In NCS discharges, a core transport barrier is often observed to form inside the NCS region accompanied by a reduction in core fluctuation amplitudes. Increasing negative magnetic shear contributes to the formation of this core transport barrier, but by itself is not sufficient to fully stabilize the toroidal drift mode (trapped-electron-ηi mode) to explain this formation. Comparison of the Doppler shift shear rate to the growth rate of the ηi mode suggests that the large core E×B flow shear can stabilize this mode and broaden the region of reduced core transport. Ideal and resistive stability analysis indicates the performance of NCS discharges with strongly peaked pressure profiles is limited by the resistive interchange mode to low βN≤2.3. This mode is insensitive to the details of the rotational and the magnetic shear profiles. A new class of discharges, which has a broad region of weak or slightly negative magnetic shear (WNS), is described. The WNS discharges have broader pressure profiles and higher β values than the NCS discharges, together with high confinement and high fusion reactivity. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: An upper bound and a lower bound of the effective trapped particle fraction, ft, in general tokamak equilibria are constructed by invoking the Schwartz inequality. A weighted average of these bounds that is easily evaluated is shown to give an accurate estimate of ft over a wide range of equilibrium parameters. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Results are presented for three-dimensional direct numerical simulations of nonhelical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence for both stationary isotropic and homogeneous shear flow configurations with zero mean induction and unity magnetic Prandtl number. Small scale dynamo action is observed in both flows, and stationary values for the ratio of magnetic to kinetic energy are shown to scale nearly linearly with the Taylor microscale Reynolds numbers above a critical value of Reλ≈30. The presence of the magnetic field has the effect of decreasing the kinetic energy of the flow, while simultaneously increasing the Taylor microscale Reynolds number due to enlargement of the hydrodynamic length scales. For shear flows, both the velocity and the magnetic fields become increasingly anisotropic with increasing initial magnetic field strength. The kinetic energy spectra show a relative increase in high wave-number energy in the presence of a magnetic field. The magnetic field is found to portray an intermittent behavior, with peak values of the flatness near the critical Reynolds number. The magnetic field of both flows is organized in the form of "flux tubes'' and magnetic "sheets.'' These regions of large magnetic field strength show a small correlation with moderate vorticity regions, while the electric current structures are correlated with large amplitude strain regions of the turbulence. Some of the characteristics of small scale MHD turbulence are explained via the "structural'' description of turbulence. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: "Pressure driven tokamaks'' are special tokamaks for which the rate of injection of energy and mass (e.g., by neutral beams) is so large that no drive for the toroidal current is needed. Examples of pressure driven tokamak equilibria are found numerically; for these examples, both the poloidal and the toroidal magnetic fields vanish in a region around the plasma center. Thus, the ratio between the plasma pressure and the magnetic field pressure is large, namely of order unity. Therefore, pressure driven tokamaks appear attractive for fusion reactors; it is, however, an open question whether there exist magnetohydrodynamically stable pressure driven equilibria. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: In DIII-D [J. L. Luxon and L. G. Davis, Fusion Technol. 8, 441 (1985)] tokamak plasmas with an internal transport barrier (ITB), the comparison of gyrokinetic linear stability (GKS) predictions with experiments in both low and strong negative magnetic shear plasmas provide improved understanding for electron thermal transport within the plasma. Within a limited region just inside the ITB, the electron temperature gradient (ETG) modes appear to control the electron temperature gradient and, consequently, the electron thermal transport. The increase in the electron temperaturegradient with more strongly negative magnetic shear is consistent with the increase in the ETG mode marginal gradient. Closer to the magnetic axis the Te profile flattens and the ETG modes are predicted to be stable. With additional core electron heating, FIR scattering measurements near the axis show the presence of high k fluctuations (12 cm−1), rotating in the electron diamagnetic drift direction. This turbulence could impact electron transport and possibly also ion transport. Thermal diffusivities for electrons, and to a lesser degree ions, increase. The ETG mode can exist at this wave number, but it is computed to be robustly stable near the axis. Consequently, in the plasmas we have examined, calculations of drift wave linear stability do not explain the observed transport near the axis in plasmas with or without additional electron heating, and there are probably other processes controling transport in this region. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Optimization of the higher order moments—specifically the squareness—of a tokamak cross-section can significantly enhance the stability to ideal magnetohydrodynamic ballooning and kink modes. At conventional aspect ratios, it is shown that access to the second regime of ballooning stability is facilitated by moderate squareness. In a low aspect ratio, fully bootstrap current driven spherical torus, optimization of the squareness results in an increase in β of the order of 10%, leading to a configuration stable to ballooning, axisymmetric, and ideal n≤5 kink modes at β(similar, equals)67%.© 1999 American Institute of Physics.
