1 kinetic aspects of RF current with a focus on ECCD stabilization of tearing modes RF current Lorentz Workshop: Modeling Kinetic Aspects of Global MHD Modes 4 Dec 2013, Leiden, Netherlands

3 Tearing Modes Magnetic reconnection breaks up the nested flux surfaces in a tokamak. This creates regions of closed magnetic field lines, called magnetic islands. The tearing instability produces magnetic islands that grow in size. Large islands increase radial transport, cause loss of confinement. A neoclassical tearing mode, in contrast to a classical tearing mode, is n by reduction of bootstrap current. RF current

4 Tearing Mode Suppression Maraschek 2012 Nuc. Fus. Suppression can be accomplished by replacing current inside the islands using: electron cyclotron resonance heating/current, lower hybrid resonance heating/current. Microwave power is injected at the electron cyclotron resonance frequency. ECCD targets the island center, at a surface of rational safety factor q around which the island forms. RF current

5 Electron cyclotron current A small group of electrons resonates with the RF waves. The current produced is localized tight control over current profile. ECCD produces a steady-state, non-maxwellian distribution of electrons. RF current Figure from: Pletzer and Perkins. Phys. Plasmas, Stabilization of neoclassical tearing modes using a continuous localized current. Nice short review: La Haye. Phys. Plasmas Neoclassical tearing modes and their control.

6 Flux Function Model Yu and Günter (PPCF 1998) model the contribution to the helical magnetic flux ψ Dψ Dt = E 0 + η(j j BS j EC ), η and j EC : functions of ψ, centered at O-point. RF current (b), (c), and (d) curves use different width and intensity of EC current Result: width of magnetic island abruptly drops when simple ECCD is applied, partial suppression of NTM!

7 Anisotropic Diffusive Model Sometimes referred to as the Giruzzi model, this model derives from the bounce-averaged kinetic equation for electrons: collisions EC waves radial diffusion f e = C(f e ) + Q EC (f e )+ 1 t ρ ρ ρd f e r ρ + ee Expressed as an evolution equation for the electron cyclotron current, this model includes parallel and perpendicular diffusive terms: Dψ Dt j EC t = E + η(j j BS j EC ) f e p = ν(j j EC ) + (χ j EC ) + (χ j EC ) RF current Giruzzi, G.

Phys Plasmas (NIMROD code) RF current Even with the complicated equations mentioned above, the time evolution of RF current has not been completely described by our model...the major purpose of the present paper is on the stabilization of the NTM s by the RF current rather than on the RF current physics itself. dotted source at O-point dashed rotating source

10 Outline radio frequency (RF) heating electron cyclotron current (ECCD) suppression of tearing modes Review of models for ECCD flux function model of n current (Yu, Günter) anisotropic diffusive model (Giruzzi, Yu, Gianakon) RF force model (Kruger, Jenkins) convective model (Pratt, ) basics of EC current two equation convective model single equation convective model results from the reduced MHD JOREK Discussion of the physics RF current

11 Description of EC current Gyrophase-averaged kinetic equation for electrons: f e t collisions = C(f e ) + Q EC (f e ) v f e averaged EC wave-effect Q EC : quasi-linear diffusion model electron distribution is permitted to convect along the magnetic field. Hegna and Callen. Phys. Plasmas Two-fluid MHD equations are produced by taking moments: ( ) m s n s t + u s u s = p + n s q s (E s + u s B) RF current ( ) 3 2 n s t + u s Π s + R s + F rf stress s collisional RF force friction heat flux T s = n s T s u s q s RF energy Π s : u s + Q s + S rf s collisional energy exchange

12 Choice of operators For the collision operator we use a simple Krook operator: C(f e ) = ν(v)(f e f M ). We assume that the quasi-linear diffusion is non-relativistic and dominantly in the perpendicular direction, reasonable for EC resonance. Thus Q EC (f e ) = v D EC v f e, D EC Dδ(v v res )ˆv ˆv, RF current where D is a constant, and v res = (ω nω e )/k is the parallel velocity of the resonant electrons.

13 Effect of ECCD on electrons ECCD produces a perturbation δf e in the gyrophase-averaged electron distribution function. This perturbation: creates zero net parallel momentum. is localized at the electron cyclotron resonant parallel velocity. in perpendicular velocity takes the form of a velocity space hole for v < 2v th and a bump for v > 2v th. is convected along the magnetic field lines out of the deposition region. RF current δf e (v par =v EC,v ) bump 0 hole v 1 2v th v 2

14 Asymmetric Resistivity Collisions would eventually return the distribution function to the equilibrium Maxwellian state: δf e 0. But the asymmetric energy exchange between waves and electrons (heating electrons moving in one toroidal direction) produces an asymmetric collision rate, and thus an asymmetric resistivity. The hole is filled in more quickly than the bump is eroded, because of the velocity dependence of the collision frequency. RF current This is the Fisch-Boozer current mechanism, the dominant mechanism for ECCD. Net current decays at the slower collision rate of the high velocity electrons in the bump.

15 Developing a fluid model that uses asymmetric resistivity δf e can be reasonably represented by two delta functions at perpendicular velocities v 1 and v 2 (representing the hole and bump respectively) with different collision rates. We take a moment of the kinetic equation to get the EC current evolution: j EC = e R δfe e v t m j EC, e j EC (x, t) = e d 3 vv δf e, R δfe e = d 3 vm e vν(v)δf e. RF current Here R δfe e is the transient electron-ion friction associated with the EC-n quasi-linear modification of the distribution function.

16 Two equation convective model We model R δfe e in the standard way as the sum of a current generation and collisional decay. This produces a convective model with two equations for the EC current: Dψ = E 0 + η(j j Dt BS (j EC2 + j EC1 )) j EC1 t j EC2 t 4 parameters to be tuned: = S EC ν 1 j EC1 + v res j EC1 = +S EC ν 2 j EC2 + v res j EC2 RF current current source: S EC parallel velocity of the resonant electrons : v res collision frequency of the resonant electrons that contribute to the EC n current: ν 1 and ν 2

17 Single equation convective model Dψ Dt j EC t = E 0 + η(j j BS j EC ) = S ν 2 j EC + v res j EC j EC is the sum of j EC1 and j EC2. current source S is the flux surface average of S EC in the limit where the collision time of the slower electrons is sufficiently long that they travel around the entire flux surface. RF current parallel velocity of the resonant electrons : v res A more detailed discussion of the single equation model is presented in: E. and J. Pratt.

Parameters: v res = 2 v 1 = 0 ν 1 = 1/8 v 2 = 2.7 ν 2 = 1/38 RF current x/mean free path The EC n current is generated as the perturbation δf e flows out of the EC power deposition region, 0 x 10 3.
