Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The folded waveguide (FWG) launcher is being investigated as an improved antenna configuration for plasma heating in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF). A development FWG launcher was successfully tested at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) with a low-density plasma load and found to have significantly greater power density capability than current strap-type antennas operating in similar plasmas. To further test the concept on a high density tokamak plasma, a collaboration has been set up between ORNL and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to develop and test an 80-MHz, 2-MW FWG on the Alcator C-Mod tokamak at MIT. The radio frequency (rf) electromagnetic modeling techniques and laboratory measurements used in the design of this antenna are described in this paper. A companion paper describes the mechanical design of the FWG.

Download or read book Effects of RF Power on SOL Density Profiles and RF Coupling on the Alcator C Mod Tokamak written by Cornwall HongMan Lau and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 100-146GHz swept-frequency X-mode reflectometer constructed and installed at three poloidal locations adjacent to the lower hybrid (LH) launcher and one location adjacent to the new field aligned ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) antenna has been used to measure the scrape-off-layer (SOL) density profiles under a wide range of plasma parameters in order to study plasma-antenna coupling and non-linear RF-SOL interactions on Alcator C-Mod. After validating the reflectometer density profiles with other density profile diagnostics in easily diagnosed and well understood plasma conditions, detailed reflectometer density profile measurements in plasmas with application of ICRF, LH and ICRF+LH power will be shown in order to understand the physical mechanisms for RF-induced density profile modifications. Results indicate that both ICRF and LH power create significant poloidal density profile asymmetries that are correlated with video camera emissivity measurements. These results will be shown to depend on various plasma parameters such as launched nll of the LH waves, ICRF antenna location, and toroidal magnetic field direction. Both LH and ICRF power have been experimentally observed to modify the poloidal flow in the SOL. These flows are reminiscent of LH and ICRF induced convective cells that have been discussed in the literature. A 2-D diffusive-convective model has been applied to quantify the effects of these RF-induced ExB drifts on the SOL density profiles. For the LH case, the simulation reproduces the experimental trends at all three reflectometer poloidal locations adjacent to the LH launcher and indicates that LH-induced ExB drifts is the dominant physical mechanism producing the experimentally measured density profile modifications. Understanding this RF-induced transport helps elucidate these nonlinear RF-SOL mechanisms. One consequence of these density profile modifications is a change in LH coupling efficiency. A 2-D slab LH coupling model has also been used to quantify the effects of the density profile modifications on LH coupling. It will be shown that LH coupling is extremely sensitive to the edge density profile and to poloidal asymmetries in the density profiles. The inclusion of LH and ICRF-induced ExB drift effects on the observed density profile asymmetries is necessary to understand the experimentally measured LH coupling results during LH only and LH+ICRF operations.

This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the papers presented at the Course on "Tokamak Startup - Problems and Scenarios Related to the Transient Phases of a Thermonuclear Fusion Reactor" which was held in Erice, July 14-20, 1985. The fact that the critical startup and transient phases of a tokamak reactor are now the specific subject of a comprehensive international gathering of fusion specialists seems indicative of the substantial pro gress made in recent years towards attaining controlled ignition of a nuclear fusion fuel, i.e. towards demonstrating the scientific feasibili ty of controlled thermonuclear fusion. In fact, the steady-state burning phase has attracted so far most of the attention of fusion physicists and engineers, as it is conceptually more rewarding, and theoretically easier to handle.
