X. L. Zhu et al.

Summary: Based on experimental observations, this study simulates the nonlinear multiple wave-number coupling and resonant interaction between waves and energetic ions during TAE avalanches. The simulation results qualitatively reproduce the experimental phenomenon, revealing important conditions for the onset of avalanches.

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.

Hybrid simulations of beta-induced Alfven eigenmode with reversed safety factor profile

Sizhe Duan et al.

Summary: Based on hybrid simulations, this study investigates the linear stability and nonlinear dynamics of beta-induced Alfven eigenmode (BAE) in the HL-2A tokamak. The results show that the drive of BAE is determined by the energetic ions beta, injection velocity, and orbit width parameter of energetic ions. Additionally, the size of q(min) affects the type of excited modes. Nonlinear simulation results reveal that the dynamics of BAE are sensitive to the energetic particle drive, leading to different behavior for strongly and weakly driven cases.

Interaction between energetic-ions and internal kink modes in a weak shear tokamak plasma

Xiaolong Zhu et al.

Summary: Based on the M3D-K code, the linear and nonlinear properties of non-resonant kink mode (NRK) and non-resonant fishbone instability (NRFB) in reversed shear tokamak plasmas are investigated. It is found that passing energetic ions can destabilize NRFB, and the NRK transitions to NRFB when the energetic-ion beta exceeds a critical value.

Enhanced performance in fusion plasmas through turbulence suppression by megaelectronvolt ions

S. Mazzi et al.

Summary: Alpha particles with energies on the order of megaelectronvolts will be the main source of plasma heating in future magnetic confinement fusion reactors. Instead of heating fuel ions, most of the energy of alpha particles is transferred to electrons in the plasma. Furthermore, alpha particles can also excite Alfvenic instabilities.

Mitigation of long-lived modes by lower hybrid wave on the HL-2A tokamak

P. W. Shi et al.

Summary: Recent experiments on the HL-2A tokamak have shown that the injection of lower hybrid waves (LHW) can mitigate the effects of long-lived modes (LLM). The LLM changes its characteristic from a steady-state to a fishbone-like frequency-chirping behavior when LHW is injected. This mitigation effect is accompanied by a decrease in density fluctuations and an increase in total neutron count. The underlying mechanism can be explained by the drop in toroidal rotation and resulting decline of E x B shear caused by high power LHW, which leads to the relaxation of the ion temperature gradient and a decrease in ion temperature. Hybrid simulations also suggest that off-axis LHW can reduce the growth rate of LLM by changing the safety factor and magnetic shear.

Recent advances in high-βN experiments and magnetohydrodynamic instabilities with hybrid scenarios in the HL-2A Tokamak

Wei Chen et al.

Summary: High-beta(N) experiments have been conducted on HL-2A in recent years, achieving high-beta(N) through double transport barriers and hybrid scenarios. A stable high-beta(N) scenario was obtained through pure neutral-beam injection heating, while transient high performance included the presence of low-frequency global MHD oscillation, high-frequency coherent mode, neoclassical tearing mode, and Alfvenic modes.

Influence of circulating energetic ions on MHD instabilities in negative magnetic shear plasma

Baofeng Gao et al.

Summary: The influence of circulating energetic ions (CEIs) on double tearing mode (DTM) was studied using a global kinetic-MHD hybrid simulation. It was found that CEIs with small orbit width destabilize the DTM, but their destabilizing effect decreases as the orbit width increases. When the orbit width is large enough, the DTM transitions to single tearing modes, making the mode more stable.
