1 Rotation and zonal flows in stellarators Per Helander Wendelsteinstraße 1, Greifswald Contributions from: R. Kleiber, A. Mishchenko, J. Nührenberg, P. Xanthopoulos
2 What is a stellarator? In a tokamak (Tamm and Sakharov, 1951), the magnetic field lines twist around the torus because of the toroidal plasma current. In the stellarator (Spitzer, 1951), this twist is imposed by external coils. Magnetic field is necessarily 3D. No toroidal current is necessary. Less free energy in the plasma. Greater degree of control Tokamak Stellarator
3 Theoretician s stellarator
4 Questions in this talk Can a stellarator plasma rotate? Effect of turbulence? If so,how quickly? Fast rotation V v T i = ion thermal speed Slow rotation V δv Ti, δ = ρ i L Empirically in tokamas, toroidal rotation tends to be fast and poloidal rotation slow expected theoretically in stellarators, the rotation tends to be slow
5 Fast rotation Theorem I: Fast equilibrium rotation is only possible in certain (so-called quasisymmetric) magnetic fields if δ<<1. This conclusion holds independently of any turbulence that may be present, as long as the fluctuations are small.
6 Fast rotation in stellarators Proof: The Vlasov equation f t +(V+v) f + e m µ E +(V + v) B V t (V + v) V f v = C(f) and the ordering Ω 1 ρ i 1 t lead to the drift kinetic equation (Hazeltine and Ware, 1978) f 0 t +(v kb + V) f 0 + ẇ f 0 w = C(f 0) V(r,t)=V k b + B Φ 0 B 2 ẇ = ee kv k mv kv V b mv k 2 b V b + μbv ln B
7 Fast rotation in stellarators An equilibrium with t δv T L must have the the following properties: isothermal flux surfaces either et e V << ion thermal speed or B = f(ψ,l)+o(δ) corrections, l = arc length along B (1) Since this follows in 0th order in δ, it is independent of any turbulence! In a scalar-pressure equilibrium, (1) means that B is quasisymmetric.
8 Terminology Special magnetic fields: Quasisymmetric B symmetic in Boozer coordinates: B = B(ψ,mθ nϕ) omnigenous Neoclassical properties identical to those in a tokamak Isomorphism between stellarator and tokamak drift kinetic equations (Boozer 1984) quasisymmetric Omnigenous (Hall and McNamara 1972) No radial magnetic drift on a bounce average Z τb v d ψ dt =0 0
9 Particle orbits Particle motion in WEGA (an unoptimised stellarator) High Field Strength Low Field Strength
10 Transport due to helically trapped particles Complicated parallel variation of the magnetic field strength Local trapping Unconfined orbits ² h Random walk: Step length r v d t Time between steps t ² h /ν Diffusion coefficient D ² 1/2 r 2 ² 3/2 h v2 d Temperatures beyond which v d D 1/ν ² h t ν χ e > 1 m 2 /s Always dominates over turbulence at high enough temperature, since D 1/ν m1/2 T 7/2 nb 2 R 2
11 Transport vs collisionality D ν 1/2 Gyro-Bohm ν 1 ν 0 ν Tokamak ν
12 Slow rotation Theorem II: Gyrokinetic turbulence cannot affect the macroscopic equilibrium rotation in a stellarator, except if B is quasisymmetric. This rotation is instead determined by neoclassical theory.
13 Slow rotation Projections of the momentum equation hρv Ji = h (ρvv + π + M) Ji t hρv Bi = h (ρvv + π + M) Bi t where ρvv = Reynolds stress π = viscous stress Ã! B2 M = 1 B 2 μ 0 2 I B B = Maxwell stress
14 Gyrokinetics The gyrokinetic ordering gives V f a B v βb e φ a δ 1, k ρ i = O(1) T a f a T a π neocl (ρvv) turb M turb π turb π neocl =(p k p )(bb I/3) O(δp) The turbulent gyroviscous force dominates locally.
15 Global rotation However, on a volume average over a volume ΔV between two flux surface several gyroradii apart ρ r r neoclassical viscosity dominates Z µ Z µ J J ρv dv ' π t B neocl : B V V dv Hence, gyrokinetic turbulence cannot affect macroscopic rotation! one exception
16 Non-ambipolar neoclassical transport Toroidal plasma rotation corresponds to a radial electric field V ϕ E r /B p If the neoclassical transport is not intrinsically ambipolar, there is a radial current µ d ln n J r ned + e dφ, D ν i ρ 2 i dr T dr producing a toroidal torque J r B p ν i ρ 2 i ne 2 E r B p T that slows down the rotation on the time scale m i n i V ϕ ν 1 i J r B p
17 Intrinsic ambipolarity The radial neoclassical current hj ψi = hπ k : Ji/p 0 (ψ) vanishes in case of intrinsic ambipolarity (for any E r ). In what configurations does intrinsic ambipolarity hold? Theorem III: B is intrinsically i i ambipolar if, and only if, it is quasisymmetric. i Boozer, PoP P 1983 our present concern
18 Intrinsic ambipolarity = quasisymmetry Proof: From the drift kinetic equation v k k fa1 + v d f a0 = C a ( f a1 ) (1) In an isothermal plasma follows an entropy production law 0 hj ψi = X Z φ 0 (ψ) T a0 But then the H theorem implies a a0 À d 3 vf f C f a1 a (f a1 )/f a0 0. hj ψi =0 f a1 =(α a + β a v k + γ a v 2 )f a0 Re-insert into (1): µ (B ψ) ln B k = 0 k B B is quasisymmetric
19 Proximity to quasisymmetry How close to perfect quasisymmetry must a stellarator come, in order to have tokamak-like rotation? depends on collisionality and on the radial length scale considered In the 1/ν regime, the diffusion coefficient is D ² 3/2 The current becomes h δ2 T i m i ν i hj ψi ² 3/2 h δ2 i p i Ω i ν i and its torque exceeds the Reynolds stress, averaged over the volume between two flux surfaces N ion gyroradii apart if ² h > ³ ν 2/3 ³ ν N

22 Mathematical problem The linearised drift kinetic equation f a1 e a φ 0 + (v k b + v d ) f a1 = (v d r)f a0 t Ta is to be solved on time scales exceeding the bounce time, coupled to gyrokinetic quasineutrality X µ ma n a φ À n a e a + = 0 a n a t = 1 V 0 r B 2 Laplace transformation gives Z À V 0 f a (v d r)d 3 v L(p)φ) ˆφ 0 (p) = φ 0 0 L(p) =p + X e 2 a T a T a Z v r 2 + p 2 δr 2 f a0 p + ik v ikv r d3 v À À r 2 X / ma n a B 2 a v d r = v r + v k k δ r

24 Zonal flow oscillations Analytical predictions: Oscillation frequency < GAM frequency and Ω 0 in the limit of perfect confinement. Landau damping of zonal flow oscillations.

29 Summary Only in quasi-symmetric configurations can the plasma rotate rapidly or freely very robust result: insensitive to turbulence In all other stellarators E r and rotation are clamped at the value required for neoclassical ambipolarity gyrokinetic turbulence only matters on small scales momentum transport unimportant on large scales It is much easier to calculate l E r in a stellarator t than in a tokamak! k!
