Theoretical interpretation of edge fluctuation experiments in Alcator

  • 1. Southwest Inst. of Physics, Leshan, SC (China)

Description

The Ohmic heating effect is included in the theoretical model for tokamak plasma edge turbulence. The mechanism of Ohmic dissipation, which decreases the saturated fluctuation levels to a substantial extent, is discussed. The fluctuation levels at saturation are calculated. The theoretical results are in good agreement with the experiments on Alcator. (author). 4 refs, 3 figs
