Description

Full text: This paper presents progress toward an improved, physics based phenomenology of intrinsic rotation expressed in terms of local parameters. Specifically, we show that central intrinsic rotation speeds in C-Mod H-mode plasmas scale with the edge pressure gradient. We directly demonstrate the existence of a fluctuation-induced residual stress which drives intrinsic rotation in a basic plasma experiment. Finally, we formulate and calculate a measure of the efficiency of intrinsic rotation in heat flux driven systems. (author)
