Turbulent transport in reversed field pinches
Description
MHD stability of the Reversed Field Pinch (RFP) relies on reversal of the toroidal field component in the outer plasma region. Interest in this configuration comes from its potential economic advantages as a thermonuclear reactor, since compared to a Tokamak the RFP supports a higher value of β, the ratio between plasma and total magnetic pressure. Results of computations on the time-evolution of the RFP using a 1D MHD model are reported. (orig./GG)
Abstract (German)
Die MHD-Stabilitaet eines Feldumkehr-Pinches (RFP) haengt von der Umkehr der toroidalen Feldkomponenten in der aeusseren Plasmaregion ab. Das Interesse an dieser Anordnung liegt in den grossen oekonomischen Vorteilen als thermonuklearer Reaktor begruendet. Im Vergleich zum Tokamak hat der RFP einen groeseren Wert fuer das Verhaeltnis β zwischen Plasma- und dem gesamten magnetischen Druck. Im Rahmen des 1D MHD-Modells berechnete Ergebnisse der zeitlichen Entwicklung eines RFP-Plasmas werden dargestellt. (orig./GG)Additional details
