Turbulent regimes in the tokamak scrape-off layer

Sébastien Jolliet, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Paolo Ricci, Annamaria Mosetto, Federico David Halpern

We identify the turbulent regimes in the tokamak scrape-off layer as a function of plasma resistivity, electron to ion mass ratio, safety factor, and magnetic shear. We find that two main instabilities drive turbulence in the SOL: Drift Waves, with their r ...

Measurements of interactions between waves and energetic ions in basic plasma experiments

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Alexandre Dominique Bovet, Paolo Ricci, Kyle Gustafson, Yi Zhang

To measure the transport of fast ions by various types of waves, complementary experiments are conducted in linear and toroidal magnetic fields in the large plasma device and the toroidal plasma experiment. Lithium sources that are immersed in the plasma p ...

Lévy walk description of suprathermal ion transport

Paolo Ricci, Kyle Gustafson

Transport of suprathermal ions is examined from the Levy walk perspective in a simple magnetized toroidal plasma. Depending on their energy, these suprathermal ions exhibit superdiffusive, diffusive, or subdiffusive dispersion as a result of the complex in ...

Boundary conditions for plasma fluid models at the magnetic presheath entrance

Sébastien Jolliet, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Paolo Ricci, Federico David Halpern

The proper boundary conditions at the magnetic presheath entrance for plasma fluid turbulence models based on the drift approximation are derived, focusing on a weakly collisional plasma sheath with Ti≪Te and a magnetic field oblique to a totally absorbing ...

Simulation of plasma turbulence in scrape-off layer conditions: the GBS code, simulation results and code validation

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Sébastien Jolliet, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Paolo Ricci, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Annamaria Mosetto, Federico David Halpern

Based on the drift-reduced Braginskii equations, the Global Braginskii Solver, GBS, is able to model the scrape-off layer (SOL) plasma turbulence in terms of the interplay between the plasma outflow from the tokamak core, the turbulent transport, and the l ...

Investigation of fast ion transport in TORPEX

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Alexandre Dominique Bovet, Paolo Ricci, Kyle Gustafson

Basic aspects of fast ion transport in ideal interchange-mode unstable plasmas are investigated in the simple toroidal plasma device TORPEX. Fast ions are generated by a miniaturized lithium 6+ ion source with energies up to 1 keV, and are detected using a ...

Blob current structures in TORPEX plasmas: experimental measurements and numerical simulations

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Davoud Iraji, Paolo Ricci, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Diane Virginie Marie Lançon, Nicola Vianello

In the simple magnetized torus TORPEX, field-aligned blobs originate from ideal interchange waves and propagate radially outward due to del B and curvature induced drifts. Time-resolved two-dimensional measurements of the field-aligned current density J(pa ...

Blob-induced toroidal momentum transport in simple magnetized plasmas

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Benoît Labit, Paolo Ricci, Christian Gabriel Theiler

The link between toroidal flows and density blobs is experimentally demonstrated in TORPEX simple magnetized plasmas: momentum is transferred from an ideal-interchange mode to density blobs. The phase shift between the toroidal flow and the density perturb ...

Existence of subsonic plasma sheaths

Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Paolo Ricci, Christian Gabriel Theiler

The location of the plasma sheath edge, where quasineutrality is broken, is rigorously derived by using a kinetic description of the plasma. It is shown that sheaths can exist with arbitrarily small ion velocity at the sheath edge, thus violating the Bohm ...
