Scaling of spontaneous rotation with temperature and plasma current in tokamaks
F. I. Parra, M. F. F. Nave, A. A. Schekochihin +6
Using theoretical arguments, a simple scaling law for the size of the intrinsic rotation observed in tokamaks in the absence of momentum injection is found: the velocity generated…
Sources of intrinsic rotation in the low flow ordering
Felix I. Parra, Michael Barnes, Peter J. Catto
A low flow, gyrokinetic formulation to obtain the intrinsic rotation profiles is presented. The momentum conservation equation in the low flow ordering contains new terms, neg…
Up-down symmetry of the turbulent transport of toroidal angular momentum in tokamaks
Felix I. Parra, Michael Barnes, Arthur G. Peeters
Two symmetries of the local nonlinear delta-f gyrokinetic system of equations in tokamaks in the high flow regime are presented. The turbulent transport of toroidal angular momentu…
