Computer simulations of fast frequency sweeping mode in JT-60U and fishbone instability Y. Todo (NIFS) Y. Shiozaki (Graduate Univ. Advanced Studies) K. Shinohara, M. Takechi, M. Ishikawa (JAERI) October 6-8, th IAEA Technical Meeting on Energetic Particles in Magnetic Confinement Systems General Atomics, San Diego

Fast Frequency Sweeping Mode observed in the JT-60U plasma with NNB injection K. Shinohara et al., Nucl. Fusion 41, 603 (2001). Frequency sweeping takes place both upward and downward by 10-20kHz in 1-5 ms.

Particle-MHD hybrid simulation [Y. Todo and T. Sato, Phys. Plasmas 5, 1321 (1998)] 1.Plasma is divided into “energetic ions” + “MHD fluid”. 2.Electromagnetic fields are given by MHD equations. 3.Energetic ions are described by the drift- kinetic equation.

MHD Equations: current coupling model

Equilibrium  An extended Grad-Shafranov equation for anisotropic energetic ion pressure is found (equivalent to Eq (9) in [Belova et al. Phys. Plasmas 10, 3240 (2003)]). We solve a stream function K in the zero orbit width limit.

Numerical method  MHD: finite difference with 4th order accuracy in space and time. Number of grid points: (101, 16-48, 101) for (R, , z) coordinates Time steps: (2-7)  10 5  The  f particle simulation is applied to energetic ions. Number of particles N: 5   10 6  Retaining fluctuations with toroidal mode number n=1 to reduce numerical noise (N=5  10 5 ). Numerical convergence is checked with a simulation where toroidal mode number n=0-6 is retained and N= 4  10 6.

Condition (E36379, t=4.0s) 1.R 0 = 3.4 m, a = 1.0 m 2.B = 1.2 T 3.DD plasma 4. n e at the plasma center m -3 5.Alfvén velocity at the plasma center m/s 6.Injection energy 346 keV ( m/s) 7.Only parallel velocity is considered. 8.Maximum velocity of the slowing down distribution is assumed to be 80% of the injection velocity. 9.Finite viscosity and resistivity (10 -5 or 2  R 0 v A ) are assumed for nonlinear simulation.

Investigation for different energetic ion pressure profiles  Red curve is a classical distribution based on the OFMC code calculation.  The energetic ion beta value at the plasma center is 1.9% for the red curve.  For the other curves central beta value is reduced.  All the profiles are similar at r/a>0.6.

q-profile and shear Alfvén continuous spectra Toroidal mode number n=1 q(0)=1.6 q=2.5 at r/a=0.8 Mode spatial profile depends on energetic ion pressure profile. They do not peak at the TAE gap at q= > Energetic Particle mode (EPM)

Mode spatial profile (toroidal electric field) depends on energetic ion pressure profile Profile III:  h (0)=0.8%Profile I:  h (0)=1.9%

A new kind of EPM 1.The EPMs are not on the shear Alfvén continuum. They are different from the local (resonant) EPM [L. Chen (1994), C.Z. Cheng et al. (1995)]. 2.Nonlocal EPM is studied for reversed shear plasma and trapped energetic ions [H.L. Berk (2001), F. Zonca (2002)]. 3.The EPMs found in this work is similar to the nonlocal EPM but in monotonic shear plasma and with passing energetic ions. 4.Theoretical exploration is needed!

Investigation on different q profiles with energetic ion pressure profile I  The safety factor q is uniformly reduced by 0.2; q=q exp  A gap at q=1.5 (r/a~0.3) appears.  A local (resonant) EPM is destabilized.  Frequency is on the Alfvén continuum.

Nonlocal EPM and local (resonant) EPM Test q profile (q=q exp -0.2) Local (resonant) EPM Spiral structure q profile from experiment Nonlocal EPM

Nonlocal EPM and local (resonant) EPM (II) Cosine part of n=1 electrostatic potential. Sine part of n=1 electrostatic potential. Nonlocal EPM Local (resonant) EPM

Time evolution of the nonlocal EPM (energetic ion pressure profile I: classical) Left: Time evolution of cosine part of the toroidal electric field.  B max /B~ Right: Frequency shifts only downward by 33% (~17kHz) in 6  10 2 Alfvén time (~0.5ms).

Consider reduced energetic ion pressure profiles  In the experiments fast FS modes and abrupt large events take place with time intervals much shorter than the slowing down time.  These activities lead to redistribution and loss of energetic ions.  The classical distribution gives an overestimate of energetic ion pressure profile.  We consider reduced pressure profiles whose shape is the same as the classical distribution.

Time evolution of the nonlocal EPM (classical distribution is reduced to 2/5) Left: Time evolution of cosine part of the toroidal electric field.  B max /B~2  Right: Frequency shifts upward by 14% (~7kHz) and downward by 23% (~12kHz) in 10 3 Alfvén time (~0.8ms). Close to the experiment.

Radial beta profiles Initial: classical pressure profile. 40% reduction in central beta. Flattened at r/a<0.4. Initial: reduced pressure profile. 15% reduction in central beta. Flattened only at r/a<0.2.

Time evolution of mode spatial profile (toroidal electric field) Reduced pressure profile Change in mode profile is small. Classical pressure profile  A t=84  A t=252  A t=335  A t=252  A t=418  A t=924

Comparison with hole-clump pair creation [H.L. Berk et al. Phys. Lett. A 234, 213 (1997); 238, 408(E) (1998).] Blue circles: Frequency upshift and downshift. Red triangles: Only downshift. Consistent with the hole- clump pair creation. For  d /  A =0.025,  L /  A =0.05, the theory predicts frequency shift  =0.44  L (  d t) 1/2 =0.11  A in 10 3 Alfvén time. This corresponds to 22kHz. Simulation result is 10kHz. In good agreement with a factor of 2.

Summary for fast FS mode 1.A new kind of nonlocal EPM is found near the plasma center with monotonic magnetic shear and passing energetic ions. 2.When a classical distribution is taken for the initial condition, frequency shifts only downward. 3.When a reduced distribution is taken, frequency shifts both upward and downward. The rate of frequency sweeping is close to the fast FS modes in the experiments. 4.Frequency shifts both upward and downward are consistent with the hole-clump pair creation. 5.A great redistribution of energetic ions takes place when the classical distribution is taken for the initial condition.

Computer Simulation of Fishbone oscillation (Y. Shiozaki) GOAL Clarify self-consistent nonlinear evolution of precessional fishbone oscillations; spatial profile, frquency evolution, saturation mechanism, energetic ion transport Particle + MHD hybrid simulation (current coupling) Bulk plasma : Ideal MHD equation Fast ion : kinetic equation using delta-f method METHOD BACKGROUND Fishbone instabilities was first identified during near- perpendicular NBI injection in PDX tokamak.

Initial condition of simulation 1: Major radius 1.43 [m] Minor radius 0.43 [m] 2: Magnetic field at axis 1.5 [T] 3: Bulk plasma component Beam plasma component 4: Density5  [m -3 ] 5: Velocity distribution of NBI fast ion isotropic slowing down distribution, injection energy 50keV 6: Spatial profile of fast ion pressure Gaussian distribution Pressure gradient scale at q=1 surface 0.15 [m] H+ plasma D+ plasma

Frequency and growth rate at various energetic ion beta When fast ion beta is 1.0%, the frequency is oscillating between 4kHz and –4kHz For relatively high energetic ion beta values fishbone mode is destabilized This result is similar to [W. Park et al., Phys. Plasmas 6, 1796 (1999)]. Case 1Case 2

Mode Structure of fishbone Mode Structure of kink mode Case 1 Case 2 Radial velocity of (1,1) mode is well-known top-hat structure. sin component of radial velocity cos component of radial velocity sin component of radial velocity cos component of radial velocity Around q=1 surface phase of the mode profile changes (spiral structure). Two step structure is slightly seen. Higher resolution is needed to clarify the two step structure. q-profile q q

Temporal evolution of poloidal magnetic field and frequency of the fishbone mode,  h =3% Frequency shifts downward to zero. Saturation level  B/B~5  10 -3

Time evolution in each toroidal mode number MHD energy ( toroidal mode number N=1 ) MHD energy ( toroidal mode number N=0 ) MHD energy ( toroidal mode number N=2 ) The n=1 mode saturates at 1400 Alfvén time. The n=0 and n=2 modes continues to grow after the n=1 mode saturation. Transferred Energy (from energetic particles to MHD) MHD Energy Total energy Energy transfer from energetic ions to MHD continues even after the saturation of the n=1 mode growth.

Summary for fishbone mode 1.Linear stability and nonlinear evolution of fishbone mode is investigated. Frequency shifts downward at saturation. Saturation level is  B/B~5  After saturation of the n=1 mode, n=0 and n=2 modes continues to grow. Energy transfer from energetic ions to MHD fluid keeps a constant level. 3.Future work: 3.1 investigate energetic ion transport. 3.2 investigate generation of nonlinear MHD modes, interaction between energetic ions and the nonlinear MHD modes.
