8 OUTLINE BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR A BURNING PLASMA FRONTIER SCIENCE ISSUES: WHAT DO WE WANT TO KNOW? Q~1 RESULTS: AT THE THRESHOLD Q~5: α-effects ON TAE STABILITY Q~10: STRONG NON-LINEAR COUPLING Q 20: BURN CONTROL & IGNITION TAKING THE NEXT STEP
9 BURNING PLASMA IS A NEW REGIME: FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT PHYSICS NEW ELEMENTS IN A BURNING PLASMAS: SELF-HEATED BY FUSION ALPHAS SIGNIFICANT ISOTROPIC ENERGETIC POPULATION OF 3.5 MEV ALPHAS LARGER DEVICE SCALE SIZE PLASMA IS NOW AN EXOTHERMIC MEDIUM & HIGHLY NON-LINEAR COMBUSTION SCIENCE LOCALLY HEATED GAS DYNAMICS FISSION REACTOR FUEL PHYSICS RESISTIVELY HEATED FUEL BUNDLES
10 THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF BURNING PLASMA ISSUES... GETTING THERE & STAYING THERE: + DENSITY, TEMPERATURE, AND τ E REQUIRED FOR Q 5 + MHD STABILITY AT REQUIRED PRESSURE FOR Q 5 + PLASMA EQUILIBRIUM SUSTAINMENT (τ > τ SKIN ) + POWER, FUELING, & REACTION PRODUCT CONTROL NEW SCIENCE PHENOMENA TO BE EXPLORED + Q 5: ALPHA EFFECTS ON STABILITY & TURBULENCE + Q 10: STRONG, NON-LINEAR COUPLING BETWEEN ALPHAS, PRESSURE DRIVEN CURRENT, TURBULENT TRANSPORT, MHD STABILITY, & BOUNDARY- PLASMA + Q 20: STABILITY, CONTROL, AND PROPAGATION OF THE FUSION BURN AND FUSION IGNITION TRANSIENT PHENOMENA
11 IMPORTANT PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF α-heating FOR Q ~ 10: ntτe ~ 2 x m -3 kev s for T ~ 10 kev + WHEN NON-IDEAL EFFECTS (PROFILES, HE ACCUMULATION, IMPURITIES SOMEWHAT LARGER VALUE ~ 3 X m -3 kev s FOR TOKAMAK TYPICAL PARAMETERS AT Q ~ 10 n ~ 2 x m -3 T ~ 10 kev τ E ~ 1.5 s BASIC PARAMETERS OF DT PLASMA AND α v Ti ~ 6 x 10 5 m/s v α ~ 1.3 x 10 7 m/s v Te ~ 6 x 10 7 m/s Note at B ~ 5 T: v Alfvén ~ 5 x 10 6 m/s < v α CAN IMMEDIATELY DEDUCE: 1) α-particles MAY HAVE STRONG RESONANT INTERACTION WITH ALFVEN WAVES. 2) T i ~ T e since v α >> v Ti AND m α >> m e THE α-particles SLOW PREDOMINANTLY ON ELECTRONS.
12 HOW CLOSE ARE WE TO BURNING PLASMA REGIME? Tokamak experiments have approached Q ~ 1 regime.
13 Q 1 Results from TFTR and JET At the Burning Plasma Threshold
14 DT EXPERIMENTS ON TFTR AND JET Peak Transient Q α Confinement α Slowing Down Classical Classical α Heating Observed Yes, but weak Yes α Driven Alfven Waves in Highest P α Plasmas TFTR 0.27 Classical No JET 0.61 Classical No T i 36 kev 28 kev T e 13 kev 14 kev n m m 3 ntτ m 3 kevs m 3 kevs f α 5% 12% [~2MW] [~3 MW] /rs
15 FUSION ALPHAS ARE CONFINED AND SLOW DOWN CLASSICALLY IN TFTR Intensity (10 10 ph/s-cm 2 -ster) E α = MeV Minor Radius (r/a) Experiment Classical Slowing Down Model: D α =0 (w/error band) D =0.03 m 2 /s JET reports same conclusion using detailed modeling of α-heating power balance. α
16 JET DT EXPERIMENTS SHOW α-heating OF CENTRAL ELECTRONS D/T ratio varied & maximum T e ~ 3 kev at 60% T
17 NO α-driven ALFVENIC INSTABILITIES SEEN IN TFTR AND JET IN HIGHEST FUSION POWER DT PLASMAS AE stable due to strong damping by beam and plasma ions in NBI heated hot ion mode plasmas. AE modes were observed in equilibria with low shear and higher central q just after NBI turned off.
18 Q ~ 5: α-effects ON TAE STABILITY
19 ALPHA PARTICLE EFFECTS: KEY DIMENSIONSLESS PARAMETRS l Three dimensionless parameters will characterize the physics of alpha-particle-driven instabilities: Alfven Mach Number: V α /V A (0) Number of Alpha Lamor Radii (inverse): ρ α /a Maximum Alpha Pressure Gradient (scaled): Max R β α Range of Interest (e.g. ARIES-RS/AT) ITER-FEAT (reference) FIRE (reference) JET V α /V A (0) ρ α /a ~0.1 Max R β α * /rs
20 GEOMETRIC EFFECTS ON ALFVEN WAVES Continuous spectrum, shear Alfvén resonance
21 GEOMETRIC EFFECTS ON ALFVEN WAVES Add 2D toroidal effects: Periodic boundary conditions for toroidal mode number, n, and poloidal mode number, m m and m+1 are coupled and a gap is opened in the otherwise continuous spectrum
22 GEOMETRIC EFFECTS ON ALFVEN WAVES Add elliptical cross-section effects: m and m+2 are now coupled and an elliptical gap is opened in the continuous spectrum Add triangularity cross-section effects: m and m+3 are now coupled and an triangularity gap is opened in the continuous spectrum
23 GEOMETRIC EFFECTS ON ALFVEN WAVES Discrete Modes Appear in Gaps in the Continuum: Alfvén wave continuum is strongly damped. TAE gap-modes are less damped: free energy from p α tapped by wave/particle resonance drive from α-particles may destabilize these modes.
24 BASIC ALFVEN EIGENMODE PHYSICS EXTENDS TO RANGE OF TOROIDAL CONFIGURATIONS Tokamak: Stellarator: Spherical Torus: Details of spectra differ but underlying physics and modeling tools are common.
25 New Alpha Effects Expected on Scale of Burning Plasma Present experiments show alpha transport due to only a few global modes. Smaller value of ρα/<a> in a Burning Plasma may lead to a sea of resonantly overlapping unstable modes & possible large alpha transport. Reliable simulations not possible...needs experimental information in new regime. This and other alpha physics will be discussed in more detail in next talk by Bill Heidbrink...
