On effective radiational gravity acceleration at the interface of dense plasmas and vacuum

Abstract

Radiative, gravitational surface waves are investigated at the interface of high density and low temperature, magnetized incompressible electron-ion plasmas in the presence of dense radiation electromagnetic radiation pressure (DEMRP). The inhomogeneous embedded is reported at plasma-vacuum interface. The DEMRP is found to stabilize the surface waves, however for a specific case, it tends to enhance the growth rate of surface waves via the frictional instability. The group velocity of gravitational radiation is shown to be the function of wavelength. The obtained analytical results are presented both numerically and graphically as function of DEMRP. to show that the incorporation of DEMRP may introduce quite different dispersive properties of charged surface wave phenomena. It is shown numerically that the frequency of the obtained radiative gravitational waves in the presence of DEMRP is found to lie in the range of high frequency radio waves, while in case of rare laboratory plasma, the frequency of these waves is found to lie within the very low frequency radio waves of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. This work may enhance the gravitational aspects of electromagnetic radiations in dense astrophysical systems such as neutron star and white dwarfs.

Mechanism of Ionization Avalanche in Tokamak Microwave Gas Breakdown

Microwave breakdown driven by electron cyclotron (EC) waves provides a non-inductive route to plasma initiation in reactor-scale tokamaks. We introduce a three-dimensional Monte Carlo simulation that, for the first time, self-consistently treats nonlinear wave-particle interactions, atomic collisions, and guiding-center transport. The Monte Carlo simulation unveils the key role of parallel Brownian motion in the ionization avalanche mechanism. The predicted breakdown boundary is validated against KSTAR experiments. This work concludes that microwave gas breakdown will be successful under ITER-relevant conditions at a D$_2$ prefill pressure near 2 mPa with 1 MW of injected EC power.

Augmented reality system for visualising magnetic field topology and charged-particle trajectories in magnetic fusion plasmas

A cost-effective augmented reality (AR) system is presented for visualising three-dimensional magnetic field structures and charged-particle trajectories in magnetically confined fusion plasmas. The system presented in this study integrates an orbit-following simulation code with a marker-based AR framework using a web camera and the OpenCV library. By synchronizing the time step of the simulation with the frame rate of the camera, the trajectories are continuously updated and superimposed in real time onto the camera image. Through the interactive operation of manipulating the web camera, users can observe three-dimensional structures, such as magnetic islands, from various positions and viewing angles. Such an AR environment supports an interactive means of exploring three-dimensional spatial structures that can be difficult to interpret from two-dimensional representations alone. It also provides a common visual representation that can be shared through a display by researchers and students with diverse backgrounds in physics, engineering, and related fields. The developed system has been used in practical exercises at the JT-60SA International Fusion School, with exploratory feedback from students.

Sensitivity of a low-shear heliotron configuration to localised ferrite-steel perturbations

The influence of ferritic steel on low-shear stellarator/heliotron magnetic configurations is investigated for the Heliotron J device using a point dipole magnetisation model. By numerically evaluating ferritic steel plates assumed at several locations inside the Heliotron J vacuum vessel, the changes in the rotational transform and magnetic island width are shown to be sensitive to the installation location. This location sensitivity arises from the toroidal variation of poloidal mode coupling between the background nonaxisymmetric field and ferritic-steel perturbation, rather than being determined solely by the perturbation amplitude. The resulting mode coupling can enhance the resonant vacuum magnetic perturbation at specific locations. Ferritic steel plates placed on the outer side of a straight section produce the most significant changes in the magnetic topology and exhibit the highest sensitivity to violations of the $M=4$ toroidal periodicity. Additionally, we show that appropriate arrangements of passive magnetic dipoles can reduce the effective helical ripple while preserving the vacuum magnetic well depth in Heliotron J, and can induce a stellarator-asymmetric boundary perturbation in low-field experiments.
