Analysis of the Thermonuclear Instability including Low-Power ICRH Minority Heating in IGNITOR
Alessandro Cardinali, Giorgio Sonnino
The nonlinear thermal balance equation for classical plasma in a toroidal geometry is analytically and numerically investigated including ICRH power. The determination of the equil…
Determination of the Dynamic ITER Energy Confinement Time Scalings
Giorgio Sonnino, Alberto Sonnino, Jarah Evslin +1
We derive the differential equation, which is satisfied by the ITER scalings for the dynamic energy confinement time. We show that this differential equation can also be obtained f…
Stationary distribution functions for Tokamak-plasmas in the weak-collisional transport regime by MaxEnt principle
Giorgio Sonnino, Philippe Peeters, Alberto Sonnino +2
In previous works, we derived stationary density distribution functions (DDF) where the local equilibrium is determined by imposing the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) principle, under th…
The Thermodynamic Covariance Principle
Giorgio Sonnino, Alberto Sonnino
The concept of {\it equivalent systems} from the thermodynamic point of view, originally introduced by Th. De Donder and I. Prigogine, is deeply investigated and revised. From our…
The Rényi entropy of Lévy distribution
Giorgio Sonnino, György Steinbrecher, Alberto Sonnino
The equivalence between non-extensive C. Tsallis entropy and the extensive entropy introduced by Alfréd Rényi is discussed. The Rényi entropy is studied from the perspective of the…
