Collisionless cooling of perpendicular electron temperature in the thermal quench of a magnetized plasma
Yanzeng Zhang, Jun Li, Xianzhu Tang
Thermal quench of a nearly collisionless plasma against a cooling boundary or region is an undesirable off-normal event in magnetic fusion experiments, but an ubiquitous process of…
Electron heat flux and propagating fronts in plasma thermal quench via ambipolar transport
Yanzeng Zhang, Jun Li, Xianzhu Tang
The thermal collapse of a nearly collisionless plasma interacting with a cooling spot, in which the electron parallel heat flux plays an essential role, is investigated both theore…
Staged cooling of a fusion-grade plasma in a tokamak thermal quench
Jun Li, Yanzeng Zhang, Xian-Zhu Tang
In tokamak disruptions where the magnetic connection length becomes comparable to or even shorter than the plasma mean-free-path, parallel transport can dominate the energy loss an…
Cooling flow regime of a plasma thermal quench
Yanzeng Zhang, Jun Li, Xian-Zhu Tang
A large class of Laboratory, Space, and Astrophysical plasmas is nearly collisionless. When a localized energy or particle sink, for example, in the form of a radiative cooling spo…
