Title:

Low-Dimensional Model of Resistive Interchange Convection in Magnetized Plasmas

Date of publication:

Sep. 1997

Key words:

plasma transport, turbulent convection, Edge Localized Modes

Abstract:

Self-organization and generation of large shear flow component in turbulent resistive interchange convection in magnetized plasma is considered. The effect of plasma density-electrostatic potential coupling via the inertialess electron dynamics along the magnetic field is shown to play significant role in the onset of shear component. The results of large-scale numerical simulation and low-dimensional (reduced) model are presented and compared.
