AbstractAbstract
[en] A turbulence mechanism which could explain the internal disruptions and the negative spikes which are observed in Tokamaks is discussed. If the flux lines become ergodic between two magnetic surfaces r=r1 and r=r2 r1< r2, this ergodicity tends to flatten the current density profile between r1 and r2, and this eventually induces a large electric field E, positive on the side r=r1 and negative on the side r=r2. Due to the radical magnetic connections, the positive and the negative values of E tend to cancell each other along the flux lines, and the field E may exist although the current density experiences a small change in the interval (r1r2). However, the field E induces by skin effect spatial pulses of current density in the unperturbed domain near r=r1 and r=r2. These pulses may drive unstable tearing modes with large transverse wave numbers, and so extend the domain (r1 r2) where the ergodicity takes place. The first step of the phenomena could be a tearing instability of the separatrix of the magnetic islands which are normally present near the magnetic surface q=1 or q=2

On discute un mecanisme de turbulence qui pourrait expliquer les disruptions internes et les impulsions de tension negatives observees dans les Tokamaks. Si les lignes de flux deviennent ergodiques entre deux surfaces magnetiques de rayon r1, r2 (r1>r2), cette ergodicite tend a egaliser le profil de densite de courant dans l'intervalle (r1 r2), ce qui cree par induction un champ electrique toroidal important, positif du cote r=r1, et negatif du cote r=r2. Du fait des connections magnetiques radiales, les valeurs positives et negatives du champ E tendent a s'opposer le long des lignes de flux dans le domaine (r1 r2), et ce champ peut exister bien que la densite de courant varie faiblement. Cependant le champ E cree par effet de peau dans le plasma non perturbe, au voisinage des rayons r1 et r2, des impulsions spatiales de courant electriques. De telles impulsions peuvent rendre instables des modes tearing ayant un nombre d'onde eleve, et etendre ainsi le domaine (r1r2) ou les lignes de flux sont ergodiques. Le point de depart du phenomene peut etre une instabilite tearing de la separatrice des ilots magnetiques qui sont normalement presents au voisinage des surfaces magnetiques q=1 et q=2Primary Subject

AbstractAbstract
[en] From a discussion of the disruption process, it is concluded that this process plausibly consists of the onset of a fine grain turbulence. This turbulence must be able to produce the large values of the inductive electric field which are associated with the reorganization of the poloidal flux and the current density on the magnetic surfaces. It is then plausible that the turbulence belongs to a class of 'rippling' modes, that may explain the experimental values for the magnetic perturbations corresponding to a substantial radial ergodicity of the flux lines. The stability of the modes in the presence of such an ergodicity is accordingly considered. It is found that the modes may be unstable even in collisionless regime, the ergodicity playing a role similar to the resistivity to partially remove the M.H.D. constraint

AbstractAbstract
[en] The frequency spectrum of tearing modes is analyzed with the help of a mode coupling model including toroidal effects in the MHD regions and various non linear effects in the resonant layers. In particular it is shown that the sudden damping of the mode rotation and the simultaneous enhancement of the growth rate observed in tokamak, could be explained as a bifurcating solution of the dispersion equation

AbstractAbstract
[en] The slow relaxation of isolated toroidal plasmas towards their thermodynamical equilibrium is studied in an Onsager framework based on the entropy metric. The basic tool is a variational principle, equivalent to the kinetic equation, involving the profiles of density, temperature, electric potential, electric current. New minimization procedures are proposed to obtain entropy and entropy production rate functionals. (author)

AbstractAbstract
[en] A decontaminating working regime of the ergodic divertor at low collisionality has been studied: the outwards radial electric field which appears in the laboratory frame when the ergodic divertor is energized, in conjunction with the magnetic ripples action on ions, can produce outwards flux of impurity ions -DnZ(∂nZ/nZ∂ r+Z∂ne/ne∂r). This contrasts with the neoclassical flux -DnZ(∂nZ/nZ∂r-Z∂ nH/nH∂r) which produces the deleterious accumulation of impurity ions in the nH profile

AbstractAbstract
[en] The drift modes energized by trapped electrons are discussed in the case where the azimuthal transverse wave number is of the order of the inverse ion thermal Larmor radius. For the usual values of the shear, the parallel wave number is then larger than 1/qR in the major part of the radial interval where the mode escapes ion Landau damping. The time during which the trapped electrons remain coherent with the mode is reduced and the Kadomtsev dissipative mechanism is less efficient. The critical shear for the onset of the instability and the induced electron energy transport coefficient at a given level of the density fluctuation are estimated

AbstractAbstract
[en] Particle transport due to collisions between impurity ions and light ions in Tokamak devices is studied. Impurity ions are assumed to be in the Pfirsch-Schluter regime whenever light ions are either in the Pfirsch-Schluter regime or in the banana or the plateau regime. Transport coefficients were calculated in both cases

AbstractAbstract
[en] Cyclotron heating of a tokamak plasma is considered with and without a rotational transformation. The following three methods are shown to be applicable to tokamaks: (1) cyclotron heating of the plasma by a low-density resonant species, (2) cyclotron heating using a magnetic band effect, and (3) heating at ω = 2ω/sub ci/
