Wang6, A.E. White7, Z.

2 Overview Increasing Te/Ti influences transport in L and H-mode plasmas Reduces density Reduces rotation Reduces τe Current experiments typically operate with Ti > Te Reactors/ITER will have Te~Ti Previous studies in related L-mode experiments find that Transport increases with T e /T i, but; Long-wavelength density fluctuations relatively constant T e fluctuations increase (CECE, A. White, PoP 9) Turbulence increases significantly with Te/TI in H-mode plasmas Contrasts with behavior in L-mode discharges These H-mode plasmas exhibit two core fluctuation modes Performed as part of the Transport Model Validation Task Force Future work will compare turbulence and transport with simulations GR McKee/APS/November 96-/GRM/rs

8 H-Mode Core Fluctuation Spectra Exhibit Two Non-ECH heated discharge has frequency regions with distinct spectral and phase shift (propagation velocity) characteristics Likely reflects two different modes/instabilities ECH-heated discharge exhibits single mode Poloidally-separated channels required to distinguish modes Higher frequency mode has lower amplitude; longer correlation length Cross Power (V /V DC /khz) Cross Phase (rad) 8x ΔZ=. cm,, CH /,/8 ST:8, NP:5,NB:5,OS/DC,ELM/ET=. 5 5 High Te/Ti (ECH) Low Te/Ti (No ECH) 5 5 x -6 GR McKee/APS/November ΔZ=7.8 cm /GRM/rs

10 L-Mode and H-mode (Hybrid) Discharges Exhibit Different Turbulence Response to Te/Ti Variation L-mode: long-wavelength density fluctuations exhibit small change in magnitude with Te/Ti Spectral shape change reflects local changes in ExB Doppler shift Te-fluctuations increase (CECE) H-mode: long-wavelength density fluctuations increase measurably in magnitude with Te/Ti Spectra (V /V DC /khz) x -8 H-mode (Hybrid) High Te/Ti (.7%) Low Te/Ti (.5%) r/a=.5 Power Spectra(a.u.) 5x -8 L-mode High Te/Ti (.%) Low Te/Ti (.7%) r/a=.56 5 (ECH)/(NoECH),ST:8 NP/NB:5/5,OS/DC;ELM,ET:. 5 5 vθ(low Te/Ti) = 8. km/s vθ(high Te/Ti) = 6.9 km/s 5 GR McKee/APS/November 96-/GRM/rs
11 Fluctuation Variation with Te/Ti Different for L-Mode & H-mode Hybrid H-mode discharges exhibit a clear -% increase in low-k density fluctuation amplitude with increasing Te/Ti L-mode plasmas exhibit small, if any, increase with Te/Ti Consistent with previous and recent experiments L-mode Fluctuation Amplitude (%) H-Mode Minor Radius (r/a).8 Fluctuation Ampliutde (a.u.)

12 Summary Turbulence and transport response to variation in Te/Ti examined in Hybrid H-mode plasmas Te/Ti <, increased by 5% via. MW ECH + RF heating % reduction in τe Low-k density turbulence increases by 5-% with Te/Ti ~ Related L-mode experiments show much small increase in ñ/n with Te/Ti, but Te/Te increases significantly Core H-mode turbulence exhibits signature of two distinct turbulence bands at different (but overlapping) frequency/ wavenumber ranges Mode structure varies appreciably with Te/Ti Initial TGLF growth rate calculations do not appear consistent But: higher k growth rates increase significantly at higher Te/TI Future analysis with nonlinear simulations (e.g., GYRO) for model validation studies GR McKee/APS/November 96-/GRM/rs
