摘要:
Probe measurements over the two‐dimensional plasma cross section of the average and fluctuating density, electron temperature, and potential, as well as the Reynolds stress, have been made in the Interchangeable Module Stellarator (IMS) [D. T. Anderson, J. A. Derr, and J. L. Shohet, IEEE Trans. Plasma Sci.PS‐9, 212 (1981)]. These measurements were performed at two magnetic field strengths, and also when a positively biased electrode induces a poloidal plasma flow. The data shows the fluctuation‐induced transport to be poloidally asymmetric and dependent upon the location of the electron cyclotron resonance position, and upon the electrode biasing. The induced poloidal plasma flow changes the nominally outward fluctuation‐induced particle transport to be inward (negative radial transport) by changing the phase relationship of the density and potential oscillations. The amplitude of the density and potential fluctuations are, in general, not reduced by the sheared poloidal flow. Calculations are presented comparing the computed Reynolds stress induced poloidal plasma flows with the flow calculated from momentum balance.
