Outline Introduction M3D code: hybrid model, code development Examples of M3D Hybrid Simulations NBI-driven TAEs in NSTX Summary Future Work

Introduction We investigate energetic particle-driven MHD modes in tokamaks and stellarators by particle/MHD hybrid simulations; Our main tool, M3D, is a 3D global nonlinear extended MHD code. Our goal is to understand the alpha particle-driven MHD instabilities in a burning plasma and predict their effects on alpha heating and particle loss. This talk reports progress towards this goal: code development, NBI-driven Alfven modes etc.

Motivation In a toroidal plasma (tokama/stellarator), energetic particles with velocity comparable to Alfven phase speed can resonantly destabilize MHD modes such as TAE and CAE, they can also induce/excite new modes such as fishbone or Energetic Particle Mode(EPM). In a magnetic fusion reactor, alpha particle-driven MHD modes can results in alpha particle loss and change alpha heating profile. Key issues of alpha physics are alpha effects on sawteeth and alpha particle transport due to multiple Alfven modes.

M3D code M3D project is part of SciDAC’s CEMM: Center for Extended MHD Modeling M3D is an extended-MHD (XMHD) code which has multi-level of physics: Resistive MHD; Two fluids; Particle/MHD hybrid

M3D XMHD Model

M3D Hybrid Code Development extended to general 3D geometry valid for stellarators; massively parallelized via MPI; benchmarked against NOVA-K code.

TAE mode structure: tokamak v.s. stellarator

Simulations of Beam-driven Alfven Modes in NSTX Recent NSTX experimental observations show rich beam-driven instabilities: fishbone, TAEs, CAEs etc and associated hot particle losses. Alfven modes in STs are less understood as compared to those in conventional tokamaks. Need to study possible new features of beam- driven Alfven modes associated with ST’s unique parameter regime: low aspect ratio, high beta, large energetic ion speed and gyroradius.

The bursting modes are in the TAE frequency range (NSTX) Multiple modes burst at the same time. Toroidal mode number, n, ranges from with the dominant mode being n=2 or 3. Mode frequencies in reasonable agreement with expected TAE frequencies. E. Fredrickson

The final mode growth and decay is very fast Some of the mode amplitude modulation represents "beating" of the multiple modes. Mode growth and decay times are approximately  s. E. Fredrickson

NSTX Parameters and Profiles NSTX shot # at t=0.267sec: R=87cm, a=63cm, B=0.43T, n e (0)=2.5e13, Ti=1.7kev, Te=1.4kev; q(0)=1.82, q(a)=12.9, weakly reversed;  (0)=21%,  beam (0)=13%; v beam /v Alfven = 2.1,  beam /a =0.17

Pressure Profiles: P thermal and P beam

Beam Particle Distribution (1)isotropic distribution; (2)anisotropic distribution.

The simulation of an NSTX plasma show unstable TAEs consistent with observations NSTX shot # at t=0.267sec; The calculated n=2 TAE mode frequency is 73 kHz which is close to the experimental value of 70 kHz (assuming 15kHz toroidal rotation)

n=2 Mode Structure: Isotropic v.s. Anisotropic distribution

Multiple Mode Simulations (n=1~4) t=139 t=180t=220t=270

Summary M3D hybrid code has been extended to general 3D geometry and massively parallelized. Simulations of NBI-heated NSTX plasmas show unstable TAEs with frequencies consistent with experimental observations. Initial nonlinear simulations show that the n=2 TAE mode moves out radially and its frequency chirps down during saturation.

Future Work Simulations of NBI-driven TAE in NSTX for more realistic distributions; Improve M3D for simulations of alpha-driven high-n Alfven modes in burning plasmas: code speed, time step, more physics such as particle collision etc.
