2 Outline 1 Background 2 Multi-Water-Bag : a class of reduced models 3 From physical model to numerical problem 4 Validation and results 5 conlusions, ongoing work and future perspectives
3 Background The big picture Turbulent transport in magnetic confinement devices steady state fusion energy production requires high energy confinement time. plasma turbulence can be thought responsible for enhanced anomalous transport need to properly characterize physical mechanism, triggering conditions and space-time structure of turbulent flows. Ion Temperature Gradient Instability ( ITG ) Features in brief among the main sources of turbulent transport driven by electrostatic v E B drift strongly anisotropic propagation k k low frequency ω 10 3 Ω CI
4 Background Instability threshold Instability threshold : why ITG? Triggering conditions triggered and fed by radial temperature gradient κ T = d r ln(t ) attenuated by radial density gradient κ n = d r ln(n) threshold determined by η i = d ln(t i) d ln(n i ) = κ T κ n Typical critical values Local slab fluid model : η crit = 2 Local MWB model η crit = 5 10 Density Temperature
5 Background Instability threshold Typical gradient profiles Normalized gradients κ Ratio η i
6 Background Configuration and dynamical model Plasma model cylindrical plasma column radial domain 0.1to10 20ρ s constant axial B field µ = 0 limit. adiabatic electrons. Drift kinetic equation for ions tf + v E f + v zf + q i M i E v f = 0 Quasi-neutrality with polarization drift «ni Z i n i + Z i φ = n e BΩ CI Computational cost is still high 3D space, 1D velocity,1d time, integro-differential system Are further reductions achievable?
7 Multi-Water-Bag : a class of reduced models Multi-Water-Bag reduction Multi-Water-Bag reduction v dependency of distribution function is approached by a sum of constant height Heaviside functions. f (r, v, t) = X A j `H `v v j (r, t) H `v v + j (r, t) j [1;N] Provided the contours stay distinct, this is an exact weak solution of the Vlasov equation.
8 Multi-Water-Bag : a class of reduced models MWB parameters How to set MWB parameters? Moment equivalence : constraints Minimize differences between MWB moments and reference ones. the weights A j must be positive ( to stay on the cautious side) bags contours shouldn t cross on the radial domain k th order MWB moments M MWB k = X j A j v + j k+1 v k+1 j k + 1 A non-linear functionnal optimization problem MWB moments are linear in A j and polynomials in V j : tricky non-linear optimization
9 Multi-Water-Bag : a class of reduced models MWB parameters Local equivalence Exact equivalence in r 0 choose N initial bags values : V j (r 0) > 0. compute even Maxwellian moments up to 2N 2 th order A j are solutions of a linear Vandermonde system. solve system to get Aj. Analytical form is known : fast and stable algorithm. How to insure A j > 0? From the Vandermonde system and Maxwellian moments one gets the condition : ( V 1 < 3T V N > p (2N 1)T
10 Multi-Water-Bag : a class of reduced models MWB parameters Extending equivalence while preserving η profile Radial differentiation method Vandermonde system differentiated in r 0 new Vandermonde system obtained with radial derivatives as unknowns. Compute bags derivatives extension by taylor expansion in r 0 ± h iterate to domain bounds 5 bags example
11 Multi-Water-Bag : a class of reduced models MWB parameters Radial differentiation method : preserved gradients Realtive errors on gradients Relative errors on moments
