Fusion yield of plasma with velocity-space anisotropy at constant energy
E. J. Kolmes, M. E. Mlodik, N. J. Fisch
Velocity-space anisotropy can significantly modify fusion reactivity. The nature and magnitude of this modification depends on the plasma temperature, as well as the details of how…
Generalized Impurity Pinch in Partially Magnetized Multi-Ion Plasma
M. E. Mlodik, E. J. Kolmes, I. E. Ochs +1
In a two-ion-species plasma with disparate ion masses, heavy ions tend to concentrate in the low-temperature region of collisionally magnetized plasma and in the high-temperature r…
Natural Hot Ion Modes in a Rotating Plasma
E. J. Kolmes, I. E. Ochs, M. E. Mlodik +1
In steady state, the fuel cycle of a fusion plasma requires inward particle fluxes of fuel ions. These particle flows are also accompanied by heating. In the case of classical tran…
Trace Impurity Transport in Multi-Species Plasmas with Large Particle Fluxes
E. Litvinova Mitra, E. J. Kolmes, I. E. Ochs +3
A burning fusion plasma has a large inwards flux of fuel and outwards flux of ash. Existing impurity transport theories do not account for a steady-state environment of such large…
Heat Pump via Charge Incompressibility in a Collisional Magnetized Multi-Ion Plasma
M. E. Mlodik, E. J. Kolmes, I. E. Ochs +1
Stratification due to ion-ion friction in a magnetized multiple-ion species plasma is shown to be accompanied by a heat pump effect, identified for the first time here, transferrin…
Maximum-Entropy States for Magnetized Ion Transport
E. J. Kolmes, I. E. Ochs, M. E. Mlodik +1
For a plasma with fixed total energy, number of particles, and momentum, the distribution function that maximizes entropy is a Boltzmann distribution. If, in addition, the rearrang…
