托卡马克等离子体位形对锯齿模线性增长率影响的数值模拟

Numerical Simulation of Influence of Tokamak Plasma Shape on Linear Growth Rate of Sawtooth Mode

  • 摘要: 利用非线性磁流体程序CLT研究等离子体环径比、拉长比和三角度对锯齿模线性增长率的影响。当环径比增大,锯齿模线性增长率减小。随拉长比增大,锯齿模线性增长率受环径比调制。环径比较小时,拉长比增大不利于锯齿模稳定;环径比较大时,拉长比增大有利于锯齿模稳定。随拉长比增大,锯齿模线性增长率受正三角度调制。拉长比小于1.2时,正三角度增加增长率增大, 不利于锯齿模稳定;拉长比大于1.2时,正三角度增大增长率明显减小,有利于锯齿模稳定。随三角度增大,锯齿模线性增长率变化受环径比和拉长比调制且关系较复杂。模拟结果表明:环效应对线性增长率影响较大,大的拉长比和正的三角度组合有利于锯齿模稳定,线性阶段由环径比、拉长比和三角度共同调制。本研究对未来设计托卡马克等离子体先进位形有参考意义。

     

    Abstract: This paper utilizes the nonlinear MHD code CLT to comprehensively investigate the influence of plasma aspect ratio, elongation, and triangularity on the linear growth rate of the sawtooth mode. The research reveals the following findings: (1) The aspect ratio increases leads to a decrease in the linear growth rate of the sawtooth mode. (2) The effect of elongation on the linear growth rate of the sawtooth mode is modulated by the aspect ratio. When the aspect ratio is small, an increase in elongation is not beneficial for the stability of the sawtooth mode, whereas when the aspect ratio is larger, elongation is beneficial for the stability of the sawtooth mode. (3) The linear growth rate of the sawtooth mode is modulated by positive triangularity as elongation increases. When the elongation is less than 1.2, an increase in positive triangularity enhances the growth rate, which is not beneficial for the stability of the sawtooth mode. However, when the elongation is greater than 1.2, an increase in positive triangularity significantly reduces the growth rate, which is beneficial for the stability of the sawtooth mode. (4) The variation of the linear growth rate of the sawtooth mode with triangularity is modulated by both the aspect ratio and elongation, and the relationship is complex. Overall, the simulation results indicate that the toroidal effect has a significant impact on the linear growth rate, and a combination of large elongations and positive triangularities are not beneficial for the stability of the sawtooth mode. The linear rata is modulated by the aspect ratio, elongation, and triangularity. This study provides valuable insights for the future design of advanced configurations for high confinement plasmas in a tokamak.
