AbstractThe generation of large-scale zonal flows by small-scale electrostatic drift waves in electron temperature gradient driven turbulence model is considered. The generation mechanism is based on the modulational instability of a finite amplitude monochromatic drift wave. The threshold and growth rate of the instability as well as the optimal spatial scale of zonal flow are obtained.

Dynamical Features

Abstract In this paper, a comparison of dynamical features between the fast H-L and the H-I-L transition, which can be identified by the intermediate phase, or ‘I-phase’, has been made for radio-frequency (RF) heated deuterium plasmas in EAST. The fast H-L transition is characterized by a rapid release of stored energy during the transition transient, while the H-I-L transition exhibits a ‘soft’ H-mode termination. One important distinction between the transitions has been observed by dedicated probe measurements slightly inside the separatrix, with respect to the radial gradient of the floating potential, which corresponds to the E×B flow and/or the electron temperature gradient. The potential gradient inside the separatrix oscillates and persists during the stationary I-phase, and shows a larger amplitude than that before the fast H-L transition. The reduction of the gradient leads to the final transition to the L-mode for both the fast H-L and the H-I-L transition. These findings indicate that the mean E×B flow shear and/or edge electron temperature gradient play a critical role underlying the H-L transition physics. In addition, the back transition in EAST is found to be sensitive to magnetic configuration, where the vertical configuration, i.e., inner strike-point located at vertical target, favours access to the H-I-L transition, while the horizontal shape facilitates achievement of the fast H-L transition. The divertor recycling level normalized to electron density is higher before the fast H-L transition, as compared to that before the I-phase, which strongly suggest that the density of the recycled neutrals is an important ingredient in determining the back transition behaviour.
