Understanding
and Controlling Turbulent Transport through Cross Phase
Control |

ABSTRACT Trying
to make Fusion work as a useful energy source on
earth requires the control of the turbulent transport of
the heat, particles waste and other quantities.
Transport of "stuff" by a turbulent velocity "field" is
largely governed by three characteristics; the amplitude
(and spectrum) of the turbulence in the velocity, the
amplitude of the fluctuations in the "stuff" and the phase
between the two. The impact of the cross phase on
the transport will be discussed in the context of enhanced
confinement in magnetically confined fusion relevant
plasmas such as the I-mode. There will be an emphasis on
recent modeling evidence for this and possible control
schemes for confined plasmas using external heating which
could make this a very useful tool for developing
controlled fusion energy. The importance of the
cross phase in turbulent transport in other turbulent
systems will also be discussed. |
