Analysis Of Turbulence In Fusion Plasmas

by Boudewijn Philip Van Milligen e Luis Raúl Sánchez Fernández

152,70€ + 10% CARD

 Understanding turbulence in magnetically confined fusion plasmas is an important issue on the long road to fusion energy as a power source for humanity. Fusion plasmas are extreme, strongly driven systems, far from thermodynamic equilibrium, in which turbulence plays a major role. This book reviews some of the observations that reveal the complex nature of plasma turbulence in detail and explains their implications. The change in paradigm needed to understand the observations is then discussed and mathematical models are highlighted that might address the dynamics better than traditional models. Along the way, a range of advanced analysis tools needed to characterize turbulence in this complex regime are presented and illustrated, including non-linear analyses, causality, and intermittence. The book aims to stimulate their broader adoption for the analysis of data from both experiments and numerical turbulence simulations.Key Features:<ul><li>Reviews observations that reveal the complex nature of turbulence in fusion plasmas</li></ul><ul><li>Provides advanced data analysis techniques to characterize complex turbulence</li></ul><ul><li>Includes non-linear spectral analyses, causality, intermittence</li></ul><ul><li>Covers self-organization, long-range correlations, long-time memory, models for effective transport</li></ul><ul><li>Includes spontaneous structure formation from turbulence such as zonal flows, MHD modes</li></ul>

Tearing Mode Dynamics In Tokamak Plasmas

by Richard Fitzpatrick

152,70€ + 10% CARD

 The development of humankinds ultimate energy source, nuclear fusion, has proceeded slowly but surely over the course of the last 60 years. This comprehensive book aims to outline a realistic, comprehensive, self-consistent, analytic theory of tearing mode dynamics in tokamak plasmas. It discusses a fluid theory of a highly magnetized plasma that treats the electrons and ions as independent fluids, and then proceeds to develop the theory of tearing modes, first approximating the geometry of a tokamak plasma as a periodic cylinder, but eventually considering the toroidal structure of real tokamak plasmas. This book also describes the stability of tearing modes, the saturation of such modes, and the evolution of their phase velocity due to interaction with other tearing modes, as well as the resistive vacuum vessel, and imperfections in the tokamaks magnetic field. This text would appeal to scientists and graduate students engaged in nuclear fusion research, and would make a useful reference for graduate plasma physics courses.Key Features<ul> <li>Develops a systematic theoretical framework for the investigation of tearing mode dynamics in tokamak plasmas</li> <li>Starts with the simple cylindrical linear approach and gradually introduces more realistic features such as nonlinear effects, neoclassical effects, and toroidal effects</li> <li>Includes systematic exploration of error-field penetration in tokamak plasmas</li> <li>Includes systematic exploration of the rotation and locking of tearing modes due to their interactions with resistive walls and error-fields</li> </ul>

Turbulence And Instabilities In Magnetised Plasmas, Volume 2 - Gyrokinetic Theory And Gyrofluid Turbulence

by Bruce Scott

152,70€ + 10% CARD

 Ever since the first observations of turbulent fluctuations in laboratory plasma experiments in the years around 1980, turbulence in magnetised plasmas has been a subject of vigorous interest in the field of plasma physics and magnetic confinement.The second of a two-volume set, this book begins with a review of the concepts behind magnetised plasma turbulence as covered in Volume One. After covering the effects of temperature dynamics, especially heat flux inertia, the rest of the first half reviews classical field theory in the necessary language, then builds the gyrokinetic and gyrofluid theory in a systematic and self-consistent manner, with special emphasis on energetic consistency. Gyrofluid turbulence in various flavours in a magnetised plasma is then covered, with control cases and energetic analysis. Familiar magnetohydrodynamic instabilities are reproduced in gyrofluid language, and then turbulence in a flow layer, current channel, pressure layer, or all three, is covered. A reprise of the theory in terms of a gauge transform with functional Lie-Poisson bracket structure closes the volume. Key Features<ul> <li>Written by a world-leading expert in magnetised plasma turbulence</li> <li>Fills a long-standing gap in the plasma physics literature</li> <li>First unified book on gyrokinetic and gyrofluid theory and turbulence</li> <li>Includes complete derivations of the fundamental concepts</li> </ul>

Turbulence And Instabilities In Magnetised Plasmas, Volume 1 - Fluid Drift Turbulence

by Bruce Scott

152,70€ + 10% CARD

 Ever since the first observations of turbulent fluctuations in laboratory plasma experiments in the years around 1980, turbulence in magnetised plasmas has been a subject of vigorous interest in the field of plasma physics and magnetic confinement. This work fills a significant gap in the set of available references for research in the field, and serves as part of the wider literature helpful in related fields such as geophysical fluid dynamics or astrophysics, in which background rotation is mathematically similar to a background magnetic field in a plasma.The first of a two-volume set, this book begins with an overview of the essential nature of a plasma and a magnetised plasma, then turbulence and plasma turbulence are introduced conceptually and mathematically. There follows a theoretical interlude developing the concepts of fluid and plasma dynamics, emphasising the force balance and quasineutrality which shape its character. After this the three-dimensional situation takes over center stage. Concepts of energetic consistency and nonlinear instability and mode structure are emphasised. The effects of magnetic shear and curvature, and open and closed magnetic field line flux surfaces, and finally the interaction with both background and self-generated flows, are all covered in separate chapters. An interlude points to a second volume treating temperature gradients and fluctuations, gyrokinetic and gyrofluid theory, and the interplay with magnetohydrodynamic instabilities.Key Features<ul> <li>Written by a world-leading expert in magnetised plasma turbulence</li> <li>Fills a long-standing gap in the plasma physics literature</li> <li>First comprehensive books on two-fluid magnetised plasma turbulence</li> <li>Includes complete derivations of the fundamental concepts</li> </ul>

A new inclusion is an explanation of how the critical pressure at which cavitation is initiated is determined according to the surface tension coefficient at the boundary of small nanovoids and microbubbles. Discussion of the quantum mechanical nature of the cavitation inception in liquid helium is also provided, along with the derived values of critical negative pressure for the appearance of cavitation, and its characteristics at low temperatures.
