    The impact of toroidal mode coupling on high-density discharges in J-TEXT

    查看更多>>摘要:A key physics issue for achieving steady-state high-performance plasmas on EAST tokamak is to decrease beam-ion losses to improve plasma confinement during neutral beam injections(NBIs).To decrease the beam losses,previous counter-Ip NBI injections are upgraded to co-Ip injections.Analysis shows that due to the reversed direction of drift across the flux surfaces caused by the pitch angle,the beam prompt loss fraction decreases from about 49%to 3%after the upgrade.Moreover,because of the change of entire beam path,beam shine-through(ST)loss fraction for counter-Ip tangential and counter-Ip perpendicular injections is reversed to co-Ip tangential and co-Ip perpendicular injections,respectively.Due to the change in the initial trapped-confined beam ion fraction caused by the peaked pitch profiles,the losses induced by toroidal ripple field are also reversed after the upgrade.To further improve the beam-ion confinement under the present NBI layout,the amplitudes of toroidal field are increased from 1.75 to 2.20 T.Result shows that,due to the smaller orbit width and peaked pitch angle profile,the beam prompt loss power is lower with higher toroidal field.Due to the synergy of higher initial trapped-confined beam ion fraction and narrower Goldston-White-Boozer(GWB)boundary,the loss induced by ripple diffusion is higher with higher toroidal field.The combined effect of beam ST loss,prompt loss and ripple loss,contributes to the increase in beam ion density.The decrease in beam loss power enhances beam heating efficiency,especially the fraction of beam heating ions.Finally,comparison between simulation and measurement by 235U fission chamber(FC)indicates that the increase in neutron rate is mainly contributed by improvement of beam-ion confinement.This study can provide potential support for beam operation and high-Ti experiment on EAST tokamak.

    Equilibrium reconstruction method for self-organized plasmas on reversed field pinches with polarimeter-interferometer

    查看更多>>摘要:A feedback control of fuel recycling via real-time boron powder injection,addressing the issue of continuously increasing recycling in long-pulse plasma discharges,has been successfully developed and implemented on EAST tokamak.The feedback control system includes four main parts:the impurity powder dropper(IPD),a diagnostic system measuring fuel recycling level represented by Dα emission,a plasma control system(PCS)implementing the Proportional Integral Derivative(PID)algorithm,and a signal converter connecting the IPD and PCS.Based on this control system,both active control and feedback control experiments have recently been performed on EAST with a full metal wall.The experimental results show that the fuel recycling can be gradually reduced to lower level as PCS control voltage increases.In the feedback control experiments,it is also observed that the Dα emission is reduced to the level below the target Dα value by adjusting boron injection flow rate,indicating successful implementation of the fuel recycling feedback control on EAST.This technique provides a new method for fuel recycling control of long pulse and high parameter plasma operations in future fusion devices.

    Effect of attack angle on the electromag-netic wave transmission characteristics in the hypersonic plasma sheath of a re-entry vehicle

    查看更多>>摘要:The attack angle may greatly affect the hypersonic plasma sheaths around the re-entry vehicle,thereby affecting the transmission characteristics of electromagnetic(EM)waves in the sheaths.In this paper,we propose an integrated three-dimensional(3D)model with various attack angles and realistic flying conditions of radio attenuation measurement C-Ⅱ(RAM C-Ⅱ)re-entry tasks for analyzing the effect of the attack angle on the transmission characteristics of EM waves in the sheaths.It is shown that the electron density and collision frequency of the sheath on the windward side can be increased by an order of magnitude with the increase of the attack angle.Meanwhile,the thickness of the sheath on the leeward side is increased where the electron density and collision frequency are reduced.The EM waves are mainly reflected on the windward plasma sheath due to the cutoff effect,and the radio-frequency(RF)blackout is mitigated if the antenna is positioned on the leeward side.Thus,by planning the trajectory properly and installing the antenna accordingly during the re-entry,it is possible to provide an approach for mitigation of the RF blackout problem to an extent.

    Effects of external parameters on plasma characteristics and uniformity in a dual cylindrical inductively coupled plasma

    查看更多>>摘要:The dual cylindrical inductively coupled plasma source,compared to the conventional structure of inductively coupled plasma source,can significantly improve the uniformity of plasma.It has an enhanced potential for application in processes,such as etching and ashing.A uniform plasma can be obtained by allowing the remote plasma from the upper chamber modulate the main plasma generated in the lower chamber.In this study,a fluid model was employed to investigate a dual cylindrical inductively coupled Ar/O2 discharge.The effects of external parameters on electron density,electron temperature,O atomic density,and plasma uniformity in the main chamber were studied,and the reasons were analyzed.The results of this study show that remote power can control the plasma uniformity and increase the plasma density in the main chamber.As the remote power increased,plasma uniformity improved initially and then deteriorated.The main power affected the plasma density at the edge of the main chamber and can modulate the plasma density in the main chamber.The gas pressure affected both the uniformity and density of the plasma.As the gas pressure increased,the plasma uniformity deteriorated,but the free radical density improved.

    Influence of bias voltage and oxygen addition on the discharge aspects of a diffuse argon plume in an atmospheric pressure plasma jet

    查看更多>>摘要:A remote plasma,also referred to as a plasma plume(diffuse or filamentary),is normally formed downstream of an atmospheric pressure plasma jet.In this study,a diffuse plume is formed by increasing the bias voltage(Ub)applied to the downstream electrode of an argon plasma jet excited by a negatively pulsed voltage.The results indicate that the plume is filamentary when Ub is low,which transits to the diffuse plume with increasing Ub.The discharge initiated at the rising edge of the pulsed voltage is attributed to the diffuse plume,while that at the falling edge contributes to the filament in the plume.For the diffuse plume,the discharge intensity decreases with the increasing oxygen content(Co).Fast photography reveals that the diffuse plume results from a negative streamer,which has a dark region near the nozzle with Co=0%.However,the dark region is absent with Co=0.5%.From the optical emission spectrum,the electron density,electron excitation temperature,gas temperature,and oxygen atom concentration are investigated.

    查看更多>>摘要:This work presents an analysis of the research conducted in many countries in recent years on the so-called Gatchina discharge.The findings indicate that the Gatchina discharge exhibits the majority of the characteristics of natural ball lightning,making it the most effective method for reproducing and studying this phenomenon.To a large extent,our new results are based on experiments performed for the first time to visualize dust particles arising in an erosive emission,as well as the formation of vortex flows.These experiments make it possible to explain the ability of the Gatchina discharge to maintain its shape for a long time in the afterglow.

    Theoretical study of particle and energy balance equations in locally bounded plasmas

    查看更多>>摘要:In this study,new particle and energy balance equations have been developed to predict the electron temperature and density in locally bounded plasmas.Classical particle and energy balance equations assume that all plasma within a reactor is completely confined only by the reactor walls.However,in industrial plasma reactors for semiconductor manufacturing,the plasma is partially confined by internal reactor structures.We predict the effect of the open boundary area(A'L,eff)and ion escape velocity(ui)on electron temperature and density by developing new particle and energy balance equations.Theoretically,we found a low ion escape velocity(ui/uB ≈ 0.2)and high open boundary area(A'L,eff/AT,eff ≈ 0.6)to result in an approximately 38%increase in electron density and an 8%decrease in electron temperature compared to values in a fully bounded reactor.Additionally,we suggest that the velocity of ions passing through the open boundary should exceed ωpiλDe under the condition E02<<(Φ/λDe)2.
