Local dependence of ion temperature gradient on magnetic configuration, rotational shear and turbulent heat flux in MAST
Y. -c. Ghim, A. R. Field, A. A. Schekochihin +3
Experimental data from the Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak (MAST) is used to show that the inverse gradient scale length of the ion temperature R/LTi (normalized to the major radius R)…
Multiscale Gyrokinetics for Rotating Tokamak Plasmas: Fluctuations, Transport and Energy Flows
I. G. Abel, G. G. Plunk, E. Wang +4
This paper presents a complete theoretical framework for plasma turbulence and transport in tokamak plasmas. The fundamental scale separations present in plasma turbulence are codi…
Experimental Signatures of Critically Balanced Turbulence in MAST
Y. -c. Ghim, A. A. Schekochihin, A. R. Field +8
Beam Emission Spectroscopy (BES) measurements of ion-scale density fluctuations in the MAST tokamak are used to show that the turbulence correlation time, the drift time associated…
Plasmoid and Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities in Sweet-Parker current sheets
N. F. Loureiro, A. A. Schekochihin, D. A. Uzdensky
A 2D linear theory of the instability of Sweet-Parker (SP) current sheets is developed in the framework of Reduced MHD. A local analysis is performed taking into account the depend…
Freely decaying turbulence in two-dimensional electrostatic gyrokinetics
T. Tatsuno, G. G. Plunk, M. Barnes +3
In magnetized plasmas, a turbulent cascade occurs in phase space at scales smaller than the thermal Larmor radius ("sub-Larmor scales") [Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 015003 (2009)]. When…
Measurement and physical interpretation of the mean motion of turbulent density patterns detected by the BES system on MAST
Y. -c. Ghim, A. R. Field, D. Dunai +4
The mean motion of turbulent patterns detected by a two-dimensional (2D) beam emission spectroscopy (BES) diagnostic on the Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak (MAST) is determined using a…
