Observation of a strong correlation between the positive floating potential near the edge and plasma current on EXL-50 ECW plasma
Mingyuan Wang, Dong Guo, Xin Zhao +12
Fully non-inductive plasma current start-up without the central solenoid in ECW plasma was used on EXL-50 Spherical Torus with a weak external vertical field (Bv). Generally, the n…
Non-inductive plasma current sustainment with stochastic electron cyclotron in EXL-50 spherical torus
Mingyuan Wang, Shikui Cheng, Bing Liu +11
The start-up and sustainment of a stochastic wave non-inductive current on a spherical torus was experimentally demonstrated for the first time using only electron cyclotron waves.…
Four-Fluid Axisymmetric Plasma Equilibrium Model Including Relativistic Electrons and Computational Method and Results
Akio Ishida, Y. -K. Martin Peng, Wenjun Liu
A non-relativistic multi-fluid plasma axisymmetric equilibrium model was developed recently to account for the presence of an energetic electron fluid in addition to thermal electr…
Thermocapillary flow transition in an evaporating liquid layer in a heated cylindrical cell
Wenjun Liu, Paul G. Chen, Jalil Ouazzani +1
Motived by recent ground-based and microgravity experiments investigating the interfacial dynamics of a volatile liquid (FC-72, ) contained in a heated cylindrical cell,…
Wall modes in magnetoconvection at high Hartmann numbers
Wenjun Liu, Dmitry Krasnov, Jörg Schumacher
Three-dimensional turbulent magnetoconvection at a Rayleigh number of in liquid gallium at a Prandtl number is studied in a closed square cell for very strong…
