  2. 1. Optical Diagnostics of Non-thermal Plasmas and Plasma-assisted Combustion

    Author : Jiajian Zhu; Förbränningsfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; High-speed photography; Laser diagnostics; Planar laser-induced fluorescence; Plasma-assisted combustion; Non-thermal plasmas; Gliding arc discharge; Optical diagnostics; Particle tracking velocimetry; Fysicumarkivet A:2015:Zhu;

    Abstract : Non-thermal plasma is regarded as a collection of free electrons, ions and neutral particles that are not at local thermodynamic equilibrium. The high-energetic electrons formed in non-thermal plasmas are capable of generating chemically active species and modifying chemical kinetics in practical applications. READ MORE

  4. 2. The dynamics of Alfvén eigenmodes excited by energetic ions in toroidal plasmas

    Author : Emmi Tholerus; Torbjörn Hellsten; Thomas Johnson; Lars-Göran Eriksson; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fusion plasma physics; tokamak; wave-particle interactions; toroidal Alfvén eigenmodes; bump-on-tail instabilities; magnetohydrodynamics; nonlinear dynamics; quasilinear dynamics; Hamiltonian mechanics; Monte Carlo method; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : Experiments for the development of fusion power that are based on magnetic confinement deal with plasmas that inevitably contain energetic (non-thermal) particles. These particles come e.g. from fusion reactions or from external heating of the plasma. READ MORE

  5. 3. The dynamics of Alfvén eigenmodes excited by energetic ions in toroidal plasmas

    Author : Emmi Tholerus; Thomas Johnson; Torbjörn Hellsten; Duarte Borba; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fusion plasma physics; Tokamak; Wave–particle interactions; Toroidal Alfvén eigenmodes; Bump-on-tail instabilities; Magnetohydrodynamics; Nonlinear dynamics; Quasilinear dynamics; Hamiltonian mechanics; Monte Carlo method; ICRH; FWCD; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : The future fusion power plants that are based on magnetic confinement will deal with plasmas that inevitably contain energetic (non-thermal) particles. These particles come, for instance, from fusion reactions or from external heating of the plasma. READ MORE

  6. 4. An experimental investigation of electron confinement in reversed-field pinches

    Author : Anders Welander; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Experimental studies aimed at an improved understanding ofelectron confinement in reversed-field pinch (RFP) plasmas arepresented. Different diagnostic methods have been employed:Thomson scattering and soft x-ray continuum measurements wereused to detect ektrons in the core of the plasma, x-rayemission from an insertable target was used to detect energeticelectrons in the edge region.

  7. 5. Fast ions and turbulent particle transport in tokamaks

    Author : Frida Eriksson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NBI; numerical modelling; turbulence; drift waves; bump-on-tail; density peaking; Fusion plasma physics; wave-particle interaction;

    Abstract : The presence of highly energetic (fast) ions, be it fusion born alpha particles or ions accelerated by auxiliary heating schemes, can affect the heating and transport of all particles in the plasma through two main mechanisms. First, fast ions may excite fast ion driven instabilities. READ MORE
