Drift-reduced fluid modeling of rapidly rotating plasmas
Edward A. Tocco, Benjamin D. Dudson, Ian G. Abel +1
In this paper, we investigate the effects of rapid rotation (Mach number M ~ 1) on plasma fluid stability, focusing specifically on Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) and interchange instabilit…
Asymptotic scaling theory of electrostatic turbulent transport in magnetised fusion plasmas
T. Adkins, I. G. Abel, M. Barnes +8
Turbulent transport remains one of the principal obstacles to achieving efficient magnetic confinement in fusion devices. Two of the dominant drivers of the turbulence are microsca…
Inertial-Range Kinetic Turbulence in Pressure-Anisotropic Astrophysical Plasmas
M. W. Kunz, A. A. Schekochihin, C. H. K. Chen +2
A theoretical framework for low-frequency electromagnetic (drift-)kinetic turbulence in a collisionless, multi-species plasma is presented. The result generalises reduced magnetohy…
Multiscale Gyrokinetics for Rotating Tokamak Plasmas II: Reduced Models for Electron Dynamics
I. G. Abel, S. C. Cowley
In this paper, we extend the multiscale approach developed in [Abel et. al., Rep. Prog. Phys., submitted] by exploiting the scale separation between ions and the electrons. The gyr…
