The Experiment of Modulated Toroidal Current on HT-7 and HT-6M Tokamak

The Experiments of Modulated Toroidal Current were done on the HT-6M tokamak and HT-7 superconducting tokamak. The toroidal current was modulated by programming the Ohmic heating field. Modulation of the plasma current has been used successfully to suppress MHD activity in discharges near the density limit where large MHD m = 2 tearing modes were suppressed by sufficiently large plasma current oscillations. The improved Ohmic confinement phase was observed during modulating toroidal current (MTC) on the Hefei Tokamak-6M (HT-6M) and Hefei superconducting Tokamak-7 (HT-7). A toroidal frequency-modulated current, induced by a modulated loop voltage, was added on the plasma equilibrium current. The ratio of A.C. amplitude of plasma current to the main plasma current △Ip/Ip is about 12% ～ 30%. The different formats of the frequency-modulated toroidal current were compared.     

A Confined Chaotic Motion of a Kicked Particle

1. IntroductionWe shall consider a kicked classic particle, which isan ion driven by an electromagnetic field.' Its motionis bounded on a cycle. A basic question is how onecan obtain a confined chaotic motion of it. Here, the"confined" means that the motion is bounded insidea part Of the phase space. It may be difficult to find adirect correspondence with this question in practicalsituations, such as in the confinement of hot plasma.However, the discussion may present helpful ideas fOrsolvin…

提出了一种托卡马克破裂先兆的动力学稳定方法,即将一个可控的感生交变电流加在平衡电流上。所施加的交变电流可以是具有适当频率的正弦电流,或是具有一个适当脉冲宽度τ的脉冲电流,或是一个不连续的脉冲电流(它的宽度τ远小于脉冲间隔),或是一个锯齿脉冲电流(它的上升时间远小于下降时间,其比值甚至可能≤10~(-3))。对交变电流驱动的物理模型作了详细的分析。关于交变电流对MHD扰动的抑制作用,从理论上作了分析并从数值上加以证明。结果表明,交变电流能使不连续导数Δ′对稳定撕裂模更有利。所以,只要适当地选取所施加的交变电流的各种参数,就可以有效地抑制MHD扰动,使扰动处在零增长状态,等离子体电流和温度分布保持在初始状态下基本不变,托卡马克处在稳定运行状态。     

CO2 laser collective Thomson scattering diagnostics on the HT-7 tokamak

A CW CO2 laser collective Thomson scattering diagnostics was developed to measure plasma density fluctuations on the HT-7 tokamak. The design and construction of CO2 laser scattering apparatus is described. The laser source is a continuous-wave CO2 laser with a cavity length of 1.9 m and a power output of about 10 W at 10.6 μm. The k-resolution of the system is △k ≈ 3.2 cm^-1. The preliminary data from the diagnostic is presented.     

Experimental Results of MHD Suppression with Modulated LHCD on the HT-7 Tokamak

Modulation of lower hybrid current drive was used successfully to suppress MHD activity. This was achieved in discharges with MHD m = 2 tearing modes during the discharge conditions Ip = 110 kA, Bt = 1.75 T, ne0 - 1.1 ×1013 cm-3. The delivering time of LHCD pulse is less then 30 μs. The amplitude, interval and the period of LHCD modulation pulse can be adjusted very conveniently. The modulation LHCD can be delivered very fast at any time during the discharge. The modulation LHCD period was always much shorter than the plasma resistive time (Tη≈100 ms). So the profile of plasma current is changed much faster than the plasma resistive time. The different forms of LHCD modulating can be proved.
