Hybrid simulation of energetic particles interacting with magnetohydrodynamics using a slow manifold algorithm and GPU acceleration

Chang Liu et al.

Summary: This paper introduces the M3D-C1-K code, which combines particle-in-cell and magnetohydrodynamics methods to study the interaction between energetic particles and global plasma modes. The code includes a newly developed kinetic module for simulating energetic particles and utilizes a new algorithm for particle pushing. The moments of the particles are calculated using the delta f method and coupled into the magnetohydrodynamics simulation.

Zonal flow generation and toroidal Alfven eigenmode excitation due to tearing mode induced energetic particle redistribution

H. W. Zhang et al.

Summary: The generation of the n = 0 zonal flow and the excitation of the n = 1 toroidal Alfven eigenmode (TAE) due to the redistribution of energetic particles (EPs) by the m/n = 2/1 tearing mode (TM) were systematically studied using hybrid drift-kinetic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations. The study showed that the amplitude of the n = 1 TAE decays slower after saturation due to wave-particle nonlinearity and the nonlinear generation of sidebands. Additionally, a strong n = 0 zonal flow component is generated when both TAE and TM reach high amplitudes. The redistribution of EPs by the m/n = 2/1 magnetic island drives the background plasma and leads to the generation of the zonal flow through MHD nonlinearity. Furthermore, the large m/n = 2/1 magnetic island is responsible for the formation of a strong spatial gradient of the EP distribution, which can result in the burst of unstable TAE and destabilization of originally stable TAE.

Influence of trapped energetic ions on low-frequency magnetohydrodynamic instabilities with reversed shear profile

Baofeng Gao et al.

Summary: The study found that trapped energetic ions can stabilize the double tearing mode for low energetic-ion beta, but excite the fishbone-like mode when the beta exceeds a certain threshold. The threshold increases with resistivity, and the presence of resistivity reduces the growth rate of the fishbone-like mode.

Systematic simulation studies on the penetration of resonant magnetic perturbations in an Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak

H. W. Zhang et al.

Summary: The study shows that in a tokamak plasma, the ability of single-harmonic RMP to penetrate the mode-rational surface is limited by plasma screening effects; while in the multiple-harmonic RMP, non-resonant components can reduce plasma shielding effects, allowing the RMP to penetrate deeply into the central plasma region.
