11 II) What We Understand 11
12 General Structure of Flux Toroidal momentum transport is driven by parallel and perpendicular Reynolds stresses, as well as convection Both of the above may be decomposed into a turbulent viscous piece, a (toroidal) pinch piece, and a non-diffusive residual stress piece, not proportional to velocity or velocity gradient. Vf resid P r, f = -c f + V Vf + P r, f non-diffusive stress r Easy Part : χ φ ~ χ i, with an intrinsic Prandtl number of roughly 0.5 < Pr < 0.7, depending on deviation from threshold. The detailed physics underpinning of the dependence is the resonant particle velocity. 12
13 General Structure of Flux (cont d) V V f ¹ 0 on boundary 13
14 The Pinch The parallel flow pinch V is toroidal in origin, and consists of turbulent equipartition (TEP) and thermoelectric pieces. The thermoelectric pinch is driven by both T i and n. These tend to oppose one another for a wide range of cases. For the TEP pinch, produced by the compressibility of V ExB in toroidal geometry, V/X φ ~ O(1/R). TEP momentum, particle and heat pinches are closely related. 14

19 Residual Stress: Dynamics and Structure The residual stress is driven by T, p, n, and produces a local intrinsic torque by its divergence. Residual stress can spin up the plasma from rest, acting in concert with boundary conditions. N.B. Boundary conditions are unclear No Slip is intellectual crutch. 19

DIII-D experiments (W. Solomon, A. Garofalo) have demonstrated that a finite external NBI/NRMP torque can null out the intrinsic rotation. How reconcile zero rotation with NBI? à need introduce intrinsic torque resid density ( = -Ñ ) (also, [Ida, 2010]) t P rf 23rd IAEA Fusion Energy Conference, Daejeon, Korea 15 Oct

24 What we understand (cont ) Residual parallel stress requires symmetry breaking, so as to convert radial inhomogeneity into parallel spectral asymmetry. Symmetry breaking mechanisms include electric field shear V E and intensity gradient r I both of which are selfreinforcing and linked to the driving heat flux as well as updown asymmetry of current density. Additional symmetry breaking sets the polarization stress ( k r k 0) -> essentially a quadrupole spatial moment of the spectrum is required) and the poloidal Reynolds stress, which drives flow through J r B θ /c (again V E and r I are critical) 24
25 Basic Physics of Symmetry Breaking Non-diffusive residual part is crucial Broken symmetry is essential (Diamond, et al., NF 09) V P r = -cf + VPinch V + r c ~ c flow damping f RS P r i Symmetry breaking : Conversion of radial inhomogeneity to parallel asymmetry rotation generic to confinement Symmetry breaking induced by ExB shear flow (Dominguez, et al., Phys.

Phase between ExB shear and intensity gradient is about p/2. è Suggests that drift acoustic response induces phase lag between symmetry breakers and residual stress. 23rd IAEA Fusion Energy Conference, Daejeon, Korea 15 Oct
31 Local Physics of Π resid For ITG turbulence, Π resid increases with R/L T R/L Tc is insensitive to collisional zonal flow damping couples to the zonal flow-turbulence self regulatory predator-prey interaction 31

33 Flux Driven Rotation: Q i V intrinsic Net intrinsic rotation with a peak V /V th = 0.05 ~ 0.15 can be produced in flux driven ITG simulations with no slip boundary conditions 33

35 Intrinsic Rotation and ITB s Strong intrinsic rotation can be generated by flux driven ITG turbulence in reverse shear ITBs with offaxis minimum q(r), with no slip boundary conditions 35
36 Intrinsic rotation occurs in RS ITB plasmas Strong (M th ~ , V ITB >> V L ) co-current rotation is generated in heat flux driven ITB plasmas with reversed magnetic shear The flow is intrinsic rotation generated via the residual stress Ion temperature vs. r/a V vs. r/a 36
37 Formation of intrinsic rotation Intrinsic rotation is generated near ITB head and, initially, propagates into the core. The position of maximum intrinsic rotation coincides with the position of maximal 2 g % E B f symmetry breaking Reynolds stress v% v% < 0, because of large inward residual stress r V evolution during initial phase Diffusive part Reynolds stress Residual stress r/a 37
38 III) What We Think We Understand but Need More Work On 38
39 Alternative Mechanisms The mechanism for generation of toroidal rotation by fluctuation driven radial currents i.e. via the toroidal projection of the perpendicular Reynolds stress. Is the emphasis on k symmetry breaking warranted?! 39
40 Alternative Mechanisms - V E ' - V E and intensity gradient still critical 40
41 Scalings The basic structure of the Rice scaling (Δv T ~ ΔW p /I p ) originates from: strong localized temperature gradients, as in the pedestal and ITBs (i.e. the local origin of ΔW p ) q(r) scaling the origin of I p dependence sensitivity to q(r) structure 41

46 Aside: Why Care? Core stiffness, no man s land place SEVERE demands on ITER pedestal Need reconsider either: ITB de-stiffened, hybrid mode approach Current understanding suggests: intrinsic flow shear will dominate ITB V E, absent external torque intrinsic rotation very sensitive to q(r) profile structure 46
47 Saturation of Intrinsic Rotation Especially ITB Saturation of Rice scaling in high power ITBs and the ultimate limit on intrinsic rotation. Of particular note here is dependence on collisional Prandtl number or its equivalent. 47
48 New regime of V (0) vs T i scaling found ~ Linear V (0) vs. - T i enters roll-over for χ i,turb < χ i,neo (strong turbulence ~ suppression in ITB) Ultimate limitation on intrinsic rotation? Why? There are intermediate states between active and fully suppressed turbulent states determined by residual heat and momentum transport in barrier Pr neo = c f,neo /c i,neo c i, turb > ci, neo c i, turb < ~ ci, neo b a Ig æ 1 i, t 1 ˆ E Q ö c i ci ~, Ñ Vf + Ñ T ˆ ˆ i Q ç i ci, t 1 c è + i ø cf, t 1+ c f 48
49 ITB Relative Hysteresis Relative hysteresis of V φ and T in ITG intrinsic rotation (K. Ida 2010) 49
50 Hysteresis happens! Q DQ c DQ c = A ( ÑT ) / D i where A is area spanned by hysteresis curve, Strength of hysteresis increases with Nusselt number (Nu= χ i,turb /χ i,neo ) increases agrees with prediction based on bifurcation theory Open loop hysteresis is seen in Q i,tot vs. - T i plot Contrast to closed loop S-curve model 50
51 Relative hysteresis between T i & V observed and explained tokamak Relatively stronger hysteresis of intrinsic rotation over temperature gradient is observed Recovers features of recent experimental observation in LHD [K. Ida et. al., NF 50 (2010) ] Residual transport (Pr neo ) governs strength of relative hysteresis Δ( V ) decreases as Pr neo increases. 51

56 What we think we understand but would benefit from more work on (cont ) The theory of poloidal momentum transport by turbulence See C. McDevitt, et. al. PoP 2010 for discussion 56
57 Reversals A New Type of Transport Bifurcation The precise relation between turbulence propagation direction (i.e. v *e vs. v *i ) and toroidal rotation direction Reversals? Observed in TCV, C-Mod Appears linked to CTEM-ITG, LOC SOC cross over Exhibits many features of transport bifurcation without enhanced energy confinement Likely relation to p-itb of W.W.

61 Intrinsic Rotation as Heat Engine The theory of fluctuation entropy balance and how it relates to the notion of intrinsic rotation as the output of a plasma heat engine See: Y. Kosuga, et. al. PoP 2010 Punchlines: J. Rice, et. al. PRL 2011 T i correlates well with V T (0) in C-Mod H-mode, I-mode P fails for I-mode Theory based on heat engine (low efficiency!) picture calculated C-Mod V T (0) to good accuracy 61
62 IV) What We Do Not Understand and should be studying 62
63 Boundary Condition VERY IMPORTANT The interplay of turbulence and wave scattering with neoclassical effects and orbit loss in determining the boundary condition for intrinsic rotation need quantify the amount of slip. The detailed interplay between core intrinsic torque and the edge boundary condition, and its role in determining net rotation direction. The connection between SOL flows and core rotation. The impact of filaments and ELMs on intrinsic rotation 63
64 Physics of Boundary Condition Effects SOL Flows: [LaBombard et al., NF `04] ballooning particle flux produced by outboard source and SOL symmetry breaking (LSN vs USN) Influence core in L-mode LSN toward X-point co USN from X-point counter But, in H-mode, is always CO Key question: How can SOL flow influence core plasma? S (r) For = speed profile of SOL flow ds (r) > 0 in SOL ---> Inward viscous stress of SOL flow dr on core Key: SOL symmetry breaking sets direction Strong for parallel shear flow instability for ÑV > Ñn Alternative: Recoil from Blob Ejection (Myra) 64
65 ρ * Scaling The apparent absence of ρ * scaling of intrinsic rotation ~ is this real? More generally, the obvious problem of: the general, qualitative success of drift wave theories of momentum transport, which universally ρ * predict dependence the apparent absence of ρ * dependence in intrinsic rotation scalings Isotope dependence 65
66 What we do not understand The effect of energetic particles on rotation At least two Issues: - E.P. momentum scattering i.e. deposition - Momentum transport by A.E. s etc. 66
67 RF and q(r) Structure The effect of q-profile structure on intrinsic rotation The detailed dynamics of how RF and current drive (i.e. LHCD, ECH) affect intrinsic rotation. Is this via q(r)? Is it ν * change? Recent EAST results (Shih, et.al.; PRL 2011) are an interesting challenge Relation to inversion phenomena 67
68 Dynamical Evolution The detailed spatio-temporal dynamics of intrinsic rotation profile build-up 68
69 Space-time evolution of intrinsic torque Residual stress Intrinsic torque ExB shear Intensity gradient The turbulence arises near the outside boundary and propagates inward. [Ku, 2009] ExB shear and intensity gradient show the same inward propagation pattern. Residual stress and intrinsic torque evolution history correlated with that of intensity gradient. 23rd IAEA Fusion Energy Conference, Daejeon, Korea 15 Oct
70 Low Torque vs No Torque The critical torque-to-power ratio that likely delimits pinch vs. residual stress dominated momentum transport regimes How Low is Low? 70
