Abstract

The reversed field pinch magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is characterized by a broad spectrum of interacting resistive tearing modes with poloidal mode number mainly m = 0,1. According to the nonlinear coupling theory, the modes phase lock together if their amplitudes exceed a critical value. In the Reversed Field Pinch Experiment (RFX) [L. Fellin et al., Fusion Eng. Des. 25, 315 (1995)] they are always locked in phase, determining a global nonaxisymmetric magnetic perturbation. In this work a detailed experimental characterization of the magnetic perturbation is presented. The typical toroidal profiles and spectra, for both the m = 0 and the m = 1 components, are shown. In particular the phase relationship under locking conditions between the interacting m = 0,1 modes is investigated and compared with the theoretical predictions. The results of three-dimensional (3D) MHD numerical simulations are also discussed. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

Abstract

The results of an extensive study on transport mechanisms and on improved confinement scenarios in RFX are reported. The scaling of the thermal conductivity in the core with the Lundquist number indicates that the magnetic field in this region is not fully stochastic, as proved by the existence of thermal barriers observed in single helicity configurations. The electrostatic transport at the edge has been proved to depend on the highly sheared E × B flow, which has been interpreted using fluid and Monte Carlo models. Regimes of improved confinement have been obtained in the core by poloidal current drive techniques, and the electrostatic transport has been reduced at the edge by biasing experiments. A radiation mantle caused by impurity seeding has been found to successfully reduce the local plasma-wall interaction without causing a significant deterioration in the plasma performance.

Abstract

The experimental and theoretical activity performed in the RFX device has allowed a deeper insight into the MHD properties of the reversed field pinch (RFP) configuration. A set of successful experiments has demonstrated the possibility of influencing both the amplitude and the spectrum of the magnetic fluctuations which characterize the RFP configuration. A new regime (quasi-single-helicity states) where the dynamo mechanism works in a nearly laminar way and a helical core plasma is produced has been investigated. With these studies a reduction of magnetic chaos has been obtained. The continuous rotation of wall locked resistive tearing modes has been obtained by an m = 0 rotating perturbation. This perturbation induces rotation of m = 1 non-linearly coupled modes.

Abstract

This paper presents an overview of recent experimental results obtained on the RFX device. We succeeded in obtaining and study RFP plasma with a plasma current up to 1 MA with negligible radiation losses and low effective charge. The local power and particle balance shows that in standard operation the plasma core is dominated by magnetic turbulence and that the global confinement is mainly provided by the edge region where a strongly sheared radial electric field is present. With poloidal current drive the amplitude of magnetic fluctuation and the thermal conductivity of the plasma core are reduced leading to improved confinement. Reduced heat transport is also observed when the width of the n spectrum of magnetic fluctuations is reduced.
