    Long-range time dependence in the cross-correlation function (1999)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)

    Notes: Detection of a long-range time dependence in the radial cross-correlation function is normally difficult because of the oscillatory behavior of the cross-correlation tail, its low level of coherence, and noise contamination. This problem persists, even with large statistical samples. In this paper, a method for investigating long-range dependence in a single time series is extended to the calculation of the cross-correlation function. With this method and for time series with long-range time correlations, the accuracy of the determination of the cross-correlation function for long time lags is improved. The method is tested by applying it to fractional Gaussian noise and to the fluxes in a running sandpile model. This analysis technique can be applied to the detection of avalanche-type transport in magnetic confinement devices. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Anomalous diffusion and exit time distribution of particle tracers in plasma turbulence model (2001)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)

    Notes: To explore the character of transport in a plasma turbulence model with avalanche transport, the motion of tracer particles has been followed. Both the time evolution of the moments of the distribution function of the tracer particle radial positions, 〈|r(t)−r(0)|n〉, and their finite scale Lyapunov number are used to determine the anomalous diffusion exponent, ν. The numerical results show that the transport mechanism is superdiffusive with an exponent ν close to 0.88±0.07. The distribution of the exit times of particles trapped into stochastic jets is also determined. These particles have the lowest separation rate at the low resonant surfaces. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Fluctuation level bursts in a model of internal transport barrier formation (1999)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Physics of Plasmas 6 (1999), S. 854-862

    Notes: A model of internal transport barriers (ITB) is developed that, in addition to the typical features of ITB models (the phase transition character with a power threshold, barrier front propagation, etc.), exhibits an oscillatory/bursty behavior close to the transition. This behavior comes from the competition between the driving and suppression mechanisms for the turbulence. The onset of the oscillations has a power threshold, Posc, below the power threshold for the transition to the enhanced confinement regime, Pth. In the calculations, Posc∼0.5Pth. This suggests that the oscillations avoid an early transition at Pth=Posc, so any mechanism that eliminates the oscillations may lower the transition power. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Intermittency of plasma edge fluctuation data: Multifractal analysis (2000)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)

    Notes: Plasma edge fluctuations show a degree of intermittency similar to fluid turbulence. Using fluctuation measurements obtained with Langmuir probe data from two confinement devices, it is shown that plasma fluctuations have a multifractal character over the fluctuation range of scales with intermittency levels comparable to the levels measured in neutral fluid turbulence. In the mesoscale range, that is, for time scales between 10 times the turbulence decorrelation time and plasma confinement time, plasma fluctuations have a structure closer to a monofractal with very low intermittency. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    On the applicability of local asymptotic stability criteria to stellarator stability (2001)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)

    Notes: An intrinsic consequence of the three-dimensional nature of the stellarator equilibrium may be the existence of local flattening of the pressure profile at the resonant surfaces. This local flattening of the pressure profile significantly changes the stability properties. The localized interchange modes are stabilized, and a new instability branch controls the critical beta. This instability is strongly stabilized by shear at high poloidal mode numbers. As a consequence, the plasma stability properties change, and the asymptotically derived local stability criteria often used in stellarator design are no longer applicable. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Characterization of the frequency ranges of the plasma edge fluctuation spectra (1999)

    Notes: Frequency spectra of fluctuations for the ion saturation current, floating potential, and turbulent transport measured in the plasma edge of plasma confinement experiments (tokamaks and stellarators) have been analyzed to identify the frequency ranges characterized by a power dependence. Three main regions can be identified. For the intermediate frequency region, the decay of the spectra is close to 1/f, as is expected in self-organized criticality systems. This region is particularly important for the role that it plays in plasma transport and the self-similarity of the fluctuations and fluxes. The effect of plasma rotation on the decay indices has also been studied. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    On the stiffness of the sand pile profile (1998)

    Notes: The existence of a critical gradient is an important feature of many transport models. [M. Kotschenreuther et al., Phys. Plasmas 2, 2381 (1995)]. However, fundamental differences exist in the dynamics near marginal stability, depending on whether the transport phenomena are controlled by strict (linear) marginal stability or by a self-organized criticality. One of the most striking differences is in the stiffness of the profiles. In this paper, a sand pile model is used to gain some basic understanding of the stiffness of the profile under different dynamics. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    J* optimization of small aspect ratio stellarator/tokamak hybrid devices : The 39th annual meeting of division of plasma physics of APS (1998)

    Notes: A new class of low aspect ratio toroidal hybrid stellarators is found using a more general plasma confinement optimization criterion than quasisymmetrization. The plasma current profile and shape of the outer magnetic flux surface are used as control variables to achieve near constancy of the longitudinal invariant J* on internal flux surfaces (quasiomnigeneity), in addition to a number of other desirable physics target properties. A range of compact (small aspect ratio A), low plasma current devices have been found with significantly improved confinement, both for thermal as well as energetic (collisionless) particle components. With reasonable increases in magnetic field and geometric size, such devices can also be scaled to confine 3.5 MeV alpha particle orbits.

    Internal disruptions in Heliotron E* (1998)

    Notes: In Heliotron E [K. Uo, Nucl. Fusion 25, 1243 (1985)] shifted-in vacuum magnetic field configuration, the q profile varies from just above 2 at the magnetic axis to 0.4 at the plasma edge. For low-β plasmas, resistive interchange modes are the dominant low-n instabilities at the plasma core. They saturate at low fluctuation levels. Above a threshold value, the ideal m/n=2/1 modes become unstable. They can be resonant or nonresonant modes depending on the value of q(0). In either case, their nonlinear evolution leads to a sudden crash of the pressure within the r/a=0.3 radius (sawtooth oscillation). When beta is increased further, the q=2 surface moves out of the plasma, and the ideal m/n=2/1 modes are effectively stabilized when q(0)〈1.85. As a result, the sawtooth oscillations are suppressed. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    The dynamics of marginality and self-organized criticality as a paradigm for turbulent transport (1996)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)

    Notes: A general paradigm, based on the concept of self-organized criticality (SOC), for turbulent transport in magnetically confined plasmas, has been recently suggested as an explanation for some of the apparent discrepancies between most theoretical models of turbulent transport and experimental observations of the transport in magnetically confined plasmas. This model describes the dynamics of the transport without relying on the underlying local fluctuation mechanisms. Computations based on a cellular automata realization of such a model have found that noise-driven SOC systems can maintain average profiles that are linearly stable (submarginal) and yet are able to sustain active transport dynamics. It is also found that the dominant scales in the transport dynamics in the absence of sheared flow are system scales rather than the underlying local fluctuation scales. The addition of sheared flow into the dynamics leads to a large reduction of the system-scale transport events and a commensurate increase in the fluctuation-scale transport events needed to maintain the constant flux. The dynamics of these models and the potential ramifications for transport studies are discussed. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
