Properties of diverted plasmas with magnetically expanded flux surfaces

Description: Vertical elongated 1.3:1 elliptical plasmas in which the outermost flux surfaces are magnetically expanded and diverted by external coils into the lower half of the Doublet III vacuum vessel are described. Approximately 5 cm of the nominal 45 cm plasma minor radius is diverted to the lower chamber. The diverted flux is expanded by more than a factor of ten before reaching the vessel wall. Photographic measurements show diffused hydrogen recycling light in the lower half of the vessel, with grea… more

Reduction of toroidal rotation by fast wave power in DIII-D

Description: The application of fast wave power in DIII-D has proven effective for both electron heating and current drive. Since the last RIF Conference FW power has been applied to advanced confinement regimes in DIII-D; negative central shear (NCS), VH- and H-modes, high {beta}{sub p}, and high-{ell}i. Typically these regimes show enhanced confinement of toroidal momentum exhibited by increased toroidal rotation velocity. Indeed, layers of large shear in toroidal velocity are associated with transport ba… more
