摘要
We simulate boundary plasma turbulence using a 3D turbulence code BOUT and a linearized electromagnetic instability shooting code BAL. The code BOUT solves fluid equations for plasma vorticity, density, ion temperature and parallel momentum (along the magnetic field), electron temperature, and parallel momentum. A realistic DIII-D X-point magnetic geometry is used. The focus is on the possible local linear instability drives and turbulence suppression mechanisms involved in the L-H transition and on the consistency of the computed turbulence with observed temperature and density profiles. Comparison is made with data from the DIII-D tokamak where probe measurements provide turbulence statistics in the boundary plasma and transport modeling. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
