Book Description
The hypothesis of stabilization of turbulence by shear in the E[times] B drift speed successfully predicts the observed turbulence reduction and confinement improvement seen at the L to H transition. This same hypothesis is the best explanation to date for the further confinement improvement seen in the plasma core when the plasma goes from H-mode to VH-mode. Consequently, the most fundamental question for H-mode studies now is: how is the electric field E[sub r] formed? The radial force balance equation relates E[sub r] to the main ion pressure gradient[triangledown]P[sub i], poloidal rotation[nu][sub[theta]i], and toroidal rotation[nu][sub[phi]i]. In the plasma edge, direct measurements show[triangledown]P[sub i] and[nu][sub[theta]i] are the important terms at the L to H transition, with[triangledown]P[sub i] being the dominant, negative term throughout most of the H-mode. Since E[sub r] is observed to change prior to the change in[triangledown]P[sub i], the authors infer that main ion rotation, probably[nu][sub[theta]i], changes first, triggering the transition. E[sub r] is seen to change prior to the change in fluctuations, consistent with E[times] B shear causing the change in fluctuations and transport. In the plasma core, E[sub r] is primarily related to[nu][sub[phi]i]. There is a clear temporal and spatial correlation between the change in E[times] B shear and the region of local confinement improvement when the plasma goes from H-mode to VH-mode. Direct manipulation of[nu][sub[phi]i] and E[times] B shear using the drag produced by a non-axisymmetric magnetic perturbation has produced clear changes in local transport consistent with the E[times] B shear stabilization hypothesis. The implications of these results for theories of the L to H and H to VH transitions will be discussed. 83 refs., 5 figs.
