1 FORMTION ND COLLPSE OF INTERNL TRNSPORT BRRIER. Fukuyama Department of Nuclear Engineering, Kyoto University, Kyoto K. Itoh National Institute for Fusion Science, Toki, Gifu S.-I. Itoh, M. Yagi Research Institute for pplied Mechanics, Kyushu University, Kasuga, Fukuoka Japan bstract theoretical model of internal transport barrier (ITB) is developed. The transport model based on the self-sustained turbulence theory of the current-diusive ballooning mode is extended to include the eects of E B rotation shear. Delayed formation of ITB is observed in transport simulations. The inuence of nite gyroradius is also discussed. Simulation of the current ramp-up experiment successfully described the radial prole of density, temperature and safety factor. model of ITB collapse due to magnetic braiding is proposed. Sudden enhancement of transport triggered by overlaping of magnetic islands termnates ITB. The possibility of destabilizing global low-n modes is also discussed.. INTRODUCTION The formation of internal transport barrier (ITB) has been observed in various operation conditions on large tokamaks. The signicance on improved core plasma connement is stimulating the eort to resolve the mechanism of formation and termination of ITB. The theory-based transport model [] derived from the self-sustained turbulence of the current-diusive ballooning mode (CDBM) successfully describes the formation of ITB in high p plasmas, in negative magnetic shear congurations as well as with o-axis current drive []. This model predicts the reduction of thermal diusivity CDBM when the magnetic shear s is weak or negative and when the normalized pressure gradient becomes large. The short wavelength uctuations with k! pe =c, which are predicted by the CDBM model, were detected recently by microwave scattering in TFTR plasmas with reversed magnetic shear [3]. We study here the eects of E B rotation shear and nite gyroradius on ITB formation and a model of ITB collapse.. EFFECT OF E B ROTTION SHER In the presence of large ion pressure gradient and/or large toroidal rotation of plasma, radial electric eld E r is enhanced owing to the radial force balance on ions. The radial shear of the E B poloidal rotation suppresses the uctuations and leads to additional reduction of transport. This eect on the CDBM transport model was included in the analysis of surface transport barrier in H-mode plasmas[4]. It becomes prominent also near ITB and introduces another time scale of the phenomena.
2 We have carried out tokamak transport simulation using the thermal diusivity derived from the CDBM transport model[] F (s; ; ) CDBM = C +G(s; )! E 3= c! pe v qr () where the normalized pressure gradient,,q R (d=dr), magnetic shear, s (r=q)(dq=dr), magnetic curvature,,(r=r)(, =q ) and E B rotation shear,! E ( p r=s)(d=dr) (E r =rb), and p = qr=v. The factor F (s; ; ) represents the reduction due to weak or negative magnetic shear and large Shafranov shift, while the factor =( + G! E ) comes from the eect of E B rotation shear. Explicit expressions of F and G are given in [] and [4]. We solve the one-dimensional transport equations for a tokamak with circular cross section where the radial uxes are n s 3 s + S s n st s rq s + P s @ NC 0 rb, J BS (3), s = n s V n s; q s = 5 n st s V s, 3 n T s (4) and the subscript s denotes the particle species. The transport coecients are expressed as a sum of neoclassical contribution and CDBM ; V s = n s v Ware, 0:05 CDBM r=a ; D = D NC +0: CDBM (5) e = NC;e + CDBM ; i = NC;i + CDBM (6) and tting parameter C in Eq.() was chosen to be 8. Figure (a) indicates typical time evolution of T e (0) for tokamak plasma with R = 3m, a = :m, B = 3T, I p = M and n e (0) = 0:5 0 0 m,3. In the case of heating power 5:5MW, T e (0) starts to increase about 0:9 s after the onset of heating. Without the eect of the rotation shear, such a delay of the transition was not observed. The delay time becomes shorter with the increase of the heating power. The reduction factor =(+G! E ) rapidly decreases near r =0:4 m just before the transition as shown in Fig.. Figure illustrates the modication of the pressure prole and the thermal diusivity before and after the transition. The ion thermal diusivity at ITB is reduced to the level of neoclassical transport (Fig. (d)). It should be noted that, though the transition is triggered by the enhancement of the rotation shear, the thermal diusivity is already lowered before the transition due to the factor F (s; ; ). Lower plasma current and intense central heating make the transition easier. (a) T e (0) [kev] 6.5 MW 5.5 MW 4.5 MW +Gω E t = 0.5 s t = 0.8 s t =.0 s t =.0 s FIG..

Time evolution of plasma current (a), heating power, density (c) and temperature (d) in the negative shear conguration We also simulated the connement improvement in the negative magnetic shear conguration produced by current ramp-up. In order to simulate the evolution of the density prole, we have included the particle transport. Figure 3 shows time evolution of the plasma for R = 3:5 m, a =0:74 m and B =4:8 T. The plasma current was increased from 0.6 M to M and NBI heating of MW was switched on at t =s. fter the NBI heating started, the central and volume-averaged electron densities start to grow. The temperatures as well as the bootstrap current I BS also start to increase but decline for t>:8s. Radial proles at t =:8 s are shown in Figure 4. The density, temperature and safety factor proles are close to the experimental observation on JT-60U [5]. In order to reproduce long sustainment of ITB without current drive, however, further improvement of the transport model is required. 3. MODIFICTION DUE TO FINITE GYRORDIUS EFFECT The present CDBM model does not distinguish the thermal diusivities of electrons and ions. Since typical wave length of CDBM is comparable to or shorter than the ion gyroradius i, the nite gyroradius eect separates e and i. The niteness of gyroradius also introduces the 3

The ballooning mode equation including the eect of ion gyroradius i and the ion drift frequency! i is written as d f d e d,i! + n 4 q 4 f ~ + d,i! + e n q f + i 0,i! + i n q H() ~ f + (i!, i! i, i n q f)f 0 ~ = 0 (7) where, e, i and i are the current diusivity, electron thermal diusivity, ion thermal diusivity and ion viscosity induced by the turbulence, respectively. n is the toroidal mode number, 0 =I 0 e,b and b = n q i =r. The functions of the ballooning coordinates are given by H() = + cos +(s, sin ) sin and f =+(s, sin ). Preliminary analysis indicates the enhancement of e over i by a factor of = 0. The mode frequency is in the direction of ion drift motion and the absolute value is much smaller than j! i j. Comprehensive analysis of CDBM including nite gyroradius eect and E 0 r suppression will be reported soon. 4. MODEL OF COLLPSE With the increase of the pressure gradient at ITB, the amplitude of turbulent uctuation grows. When the amplitude of perturbation magnetic eld exceeds a threshold value, the structure of the eld lines becomes stochastic owing to the overlap of magnetic islands. In this state (M-mode)[6], strong enhancement of the thermal diusivity leads to the collapse of ITB. 4.. Catastrophe of transport coecients The nonlinear turbulence, which provides the formula Eq.() in the electrostatic limit, is subject to the turbulence-turbulence transition at a certain critical pressure gradient [7]. t this 4
5 threshold pressure gradient, = ( + c G! E )5=4 h F = +s F ( + G! E) =i the associated magnetic uctuation exceeds the threshold level that allows the overlapping of the microscopic magnetic island. If this microscopic island overlap takes place, the electron viscosity is selectively enhanced, in comparison with the ion viscosity, and the self-sustained turbulence becomes much more violent. s is schematically shown in Fig. 5(a), the turbulent transport coecients, i.e., the thermal conductivity, current diusivity, and ion viscosity increase. This strongly turbulent state has been called as \M-mode" [6,7]. The critical pressure gradient for the M-mode transition is illustrated in Fig. 5. It is approximately given by (8) c s (high shear limit) (9) The M-mode transition does not occur in the weak shear region The thermal transport coecient in the M-mode is expressed as s<0:8 (0) e;m i;m +G! E +G! E r mi m e i c! p c! p v te qr v te qr () () where m i =m e is the ion-to-electron mass ratio, i = 0 n i T i =B, v te is the electron thermal velocity, and the sux M indicates the M-mode turbulence. Compared to Eq.(), e in the M-mode is enhanced by a factor of i m i =m e, which is a few tens or so for usual parameters [7]. If the M-mode transition takes place, the enhanced thermal conductivity causes the reduction of the pressure gradient. It should be noticed that the turbulent transport has the nature of a hysteresis with respect to the pressure gradient, which is shown in Fig. 5(a). Once the state jumps to the M-branch, the turbulence level stays at the strongly turbulent state even if the pressure gradient becomes lower than the critical pressure, c. The M-state continues until the pressure gradient reaches the lower critical value = l sf = ( + G! E )=4 (3) s a result of this hysteresis nature, the pressure gradient drops from the critical value c to the lower value l.

The turbulence-turbulence transition, from the electrostatic one to the violent electromagnetic one, occurs within a very short time scale at = c. The transition time from L-state/ITB to the M-state is given as transiton p p (4) It should be noted that the time scale p = p is the typical time scale for the ideal MHD processes. The change of the state occurs within the so-called MHD time scale. 4.. Comparison with simulation results In order to illustrate the behavior of the pressure gradient, we present simulation results of ITB formation in the high p mode. Parameters are R = 3m, a = :m, I p = M, n e (0) = m,3 and the total heating power of P heat =0MWfor the deuterium plasma. bout 00 ms after the start of the additional heating, the internal transport barrier starts to be formed. fter 400 ms, the prole with internal transport barrier reaches the stationary state. Figure 6 shows the time evolution of the radial proles. The temperature (a), pressure gradient prole, magnetic shear prole (c) and the turbulent transport coecients (d) are shown for the Ohmic plasma (dotted line) and in the presence of the internal transport barrier. rrow indicates the ridge of the transport barrier (i.e., the interface between the regions of the improved connement and the L-mode), arrow B for the peak of the pressure gradient. Within the surface r 0:6a, the internal transport barrier is formed. The arrow C indicates the location where the crash starts to occur (as explained in Fig.8). In FIg. 7, radial prole of the pressure gradient 6

Comparison of the simulation prole of ((r);s(r)) with the critical condition of the M-mode. and magnetic shear, ((r);s(r)), are drawn on the (; s) plane at the same time slices of Fig. 6. rrows and B indicate to the radial locations with arrows and B in Fig. 6. Figure 8 compares the critical condition with the typical prole in (; s) plane obtained from transport simulation with ITB and threshold pressure c (s). The locations indicated by and B are the outer edge of ITB and the steepest gradient, respectively. When the prole ((r);s(r)) touches the critical line c (s), transition to the M-mode occurs. The crash starts to occur at the location that is denoted by the thick arrow C. This radius is very close to the interface between the internal transport barrier and the L-mode region, denoted by arrow. It is also shown that the contact with the critical curve takes place at the location of the large d=ds value. The slope is negative, i.e., d α C B ds < 0 (5) This location is just inside the interface between the L-mode region and the transport barrier. The catastrophe of the internal transport barrier takes place at the outer region of the internal transport barrier Excitation of global mode The enhanced electron viscosity in the M-mode is found to excite the global low-n mode, if the mode rational surface is close to ITB. Sudden jump of the growth rate in the time scale of p = p is predicted. If the M-mode transition takes place, the enhanced current diusivity is given by M +G! E r mi m e i 0 c 4! 4 p v te qr : (6) This large current diusivity may enhance the growth rate of various uctuation modes. Consider the case that there exists a global mode, the mode rational surface of which is in the M-mode region. This global mode is selectively destabilized by this large current diusivity. The current-diusive mode has a growth rate, which is in proportion to p [8,9]. The formula of the growth rate has been given for the ballooning mode as [8] =5 m 4=5 3=5 s,=5 (7) p = 0 r 4 s where r s is the mode rational surface and m is the poloidal mode number. The current diusivity in the M-mode is given by Eq.(6), and gives the estimate =5 0 rs 4 = 7 c! p r s! 4=5 (8)
8 Substituting this relation and m = nq(r s )into Eq.(7), one has p c! p r s! 4=5 m 4=5 =0 s,=5 (9) For the parameters of the experimental interest, e.g., m =3, ', s ' 3 and c=! p r s ' 0,3, Eq.(9) provides the order of magnitude estimate as p 0:03 (0) This indicates that the growth rate of the order of ( )s, is expected, if the M- mode transition occurs, and the mode rational surface is located within the M-mode region. The change of the current diusivity occurs within the time scale of (4). s a result, the change of the growth rate also takes place within the time scale of Eq.(4). In other words, the abrupt increase of the growth rate of the global mode onsets within the very short time, in the absence of the major variation of the global plasma parameters. The value of Eq.(0) is much larger than the linear resistive instability in the MHD-stable regions of parameters Irreversibility after the collapse The M-mode is subject to a back-transition to the L-mode when the pressure gradient decreases below the lower critical pressure gradient. n avalanche of the back transitions in the radial direction is possible to occur [7,0]. fter the end of avalanche in the plasma, the transport coecient returns to the original one, Eq.(), in the whole plasma column. In the lower branch of the transport coecient, the thermal conductivityislow and the pressure gradient can start to grow again. The process can be repeated as a limit cycle, as is considered for the giant ELMs[7]. However, this is not always the case for the internal transport barrier. The density prole becomes much atter, as a result of the collapse event. The attened density prole usually leads to the broader heating prole. When the heating prole is broader, r HW a=, the internal transport barrier is dicult to be formed[]. This sensitivity to the heating prole is the key for the reversibility of the barrier formation after the crash. This explains the observations that the collapse is often a terminating event for the improved connement.
