2 Motivation Geodesic Acoustic Modes (GAM) are relatively high frequency eigen-modes supported by plasma compressibility in toroidal geometry. A Zonal Flow branch: Coupling to the drift-wave turbulence, regulation and control of turbulence? A finite frequency mode of neoclassical plasma rotation. Relation to neoclassical transport? Relation to Alfven modes/cascades/bae? Energetical particles drive? Effects on transport regulation/modulation?

14 GAM is a rotational mode in toroidal plasma supported by plasma compressibility (geodesic) Involves perturbations of the electrostatic potential and pressure side-bands pˆ ± 1 Φ ( r 0 ) Dispersion relation: Geodesic: / R / R C s Ion sound: C s q
15 Adiabatic index: Discrepancy between MHD and kinetic theory in fluid limit Ideal MHD theory, Winsor et al. Kinetic calculations but in the fluid limit, Lebedev, Diamond et al 1996 Zonca, Chen /q terms are dropped here Adiabatic indices for ions and electrons?
16 Extended MHD for GAMs: Anisotropic pressure perturbations are important Perturbed parallel viscosity (pressure anisotropy) is of the same order as pressure side-bands
17 Extended MHD (Grad equation) for parallel viscosity Mikhailovskii 1984, Smolyakov 1998 Different compressibility indices for pressure and parallel viscosity Restores agreement between fluid and kinetic calculations (Smolyakov et al, 005)
18 Coupling of Alfven and acoustic continua due to the geodesic curvature creates several modes These modes differ by their polarization and have different adiabatic (compressibility) indices
19 Mode polarization and coupling One can define principal and toroidal side -bands Principal component Parallel wave-vectors: GAM: m=n=0 BAE: m and n are finite (but low) Polarization is defined by the combinations:
20 High frequency electromagnetic side-band modes induced by geodesic coupling GAM/BAE parity GAM/BAE frq: Two Alfvenic side band modes v A / qr v A / qr Compressibility induced Alfven modes, Zheng, Chen, 1998 r -1 r 0 r 1 Smolyakov 008
21 Electromagnetic components in GAMS Compressibility of the diamagnetic current induces the parallel current at the second harmonic: Φ + Φ cos q Φ ( ) θ β 0 Φ ± ±, A Electromagnetic, second side-bands harmonics can be substantial, especially in high beta plasmas Second harmonics play crucial role in formation of eigenmode structure

27 Ordering in two-fluid/kinetic models Two temperatures: T i and T e Different parallel wave-vectors put principal and side-band components into different regimes Ion fluid ordering: ω >> vti / qr >> k0v Ti Electron parallel motion ordering: Electrons are adiabatic in the side-bands: ω << v Te / qr but the principal component is -hydrodynamic ω >> k 0 v Te Can be in the -adiabatic regime (finite m, n ; BAE?) ω << k 0 v Te k ( m nq) / 0 0 = qr =
28 Electron Electromagnetic Effects Electromagnetic effects Zhou, PoP 007; Wang et al, PoP 011: The second side-band harmonics are electromagnetic Smolyakov et al., PPCF 008, NF 011 There are exist two regimes depending on the radial mode localization Electron side-bands are electrostatic for K >> 1 Electron side-bands are electromagnetic for K 1
29 Electron response 1. Electron drift kinetic equation. Electron density and current are found as moments of the distribution function 3. Amperes law is used to find magnetic potential 4. Electron density (principal and side-bands) are written in terms of the electrostatic potential
30 First side band is electromagnetic and finite axisymmetric density perturbation for large scale modes
31 Electron density K >>1 Electromagnetic modification factors: Electron side-bands are electrostatic for Electron side-bands are electromagnetic for K >>1 K 1

49 GAMs and neoclassical theory (of plasma rotation and transport) Hierarchy of relaxation times for neoclassical rotation Poloidal flow damping at ion-ion collision time and transit Landau frequency (GAM damping) neoclassical ambipolarity is established at this time scale Slow diffusion of toroidal momentum due to perpendicular viscosity Damped (driven) GAM oscillations induce non-automatically ambipolar neoclassical transport 1/ mi me Γ neo
50 In summary In general, higher order (dispersive) corrections to GAM/BAE are different Depend on mode localization Have several different contribution (electron and ion magnetic drift, parallel motion, electromagnetic corrections Large scale GAMs/BAE have substantial electromagnetic component k c / ω pi < 1 It is not clear what are the mechanisms for GAM excitation and localization (Ohmic plasmas) Relation of GAM and neoclassical transport is to be further studied (Stringer spin-up and transport modulations)
