On How Zonal Fields Suppress Reversed Shear Alfvén Eigenmode in Tokamak Plasmas
Ruirui Ma, Pengfei Liu, Liu Chen +2
Employing both nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations and theoretical analyses, we have discovered the novel result that, with energetic particle dynamics kept linear, the nonlinear sup…
Indirect nonlinear interaction between toroidal Alfvén eigenmode and ion temperature gradient mode mediated by zonal structures
Qian Fang, Guangyu Wei, Ningfei Chen +3
The indirect nonlinear interactions between toroidal Alfvén eigenmode (TAE) and ion temperature gradient mode (ITG) are investigated using nonlinear gyrokinetic theory and balloon…
Drift wave solitons and zonal flows: implication on staircase formation
Ningfei Chen, Liu Chen, Fulvio Zonca +1
The self-consistent nonlinear interaction of drift wave (DW) and zonal flow (ZF) is investigated using nonlinear gyrokinetic theory, with both spontaneous excitation and beat-drive…
Effects of plasma nonuniformity on zero frequency zonal structure generation by drift Alfven wave instabilities in toroidal plasmas
Zhiyong Qiu, Guangyu Wei, Liu Chen +1
Effects of plasma nonuniformity on zero frequency zonal structure (ZFZS) excitation by drift Alfven wave (DAW) instabilities in toroidal plasmas are investigated using nonlinear gy…
