Cooperative elliptical instability and plasma blob generation
摘要：
In previous investigations it was found that an m = 1 poloidal mode number inside the main plasma column give rise to high-intensity bursts in CSDX. This behavior is also typical for other linear devices, e.g. VINETA and LAPD. Because of the E × B drift every perturbation in the potential results in a vortex. An m = 1 mode in the potential consists of a negative and positive perturbation, which are vortices rotating in opposite directions and therefore an m = 1 mode is a counterrotating vortex pair. From fluid mechanics it is known that counter-rotating vortex pairs are subject to the elliptic instability, which is a three-dimensional instability of a two-dimensional flow. This instability can modify the internal structure of the vortex core leading to injection of smaller vortices, which could be a generation mechanism for plasma blobs. Using fast camera measurements first evidence of the existence of the cooperative elliptic instability in magnetized plasmas can be provided.
