摘要
Resonant Magnetic Perturbation (RMP) fields produced by external control coils are considered a viable option for the suppression of Edge Localized Modes in present and future tokamaks. In DIII-D, the RMPs are generated by six pairs of I-coils, each spanning 60 degrees in toroidal angle, with the currents flowing in opposite directions in adjacent pairs of I-coils. Reversal of the currents in all I-coils, which produces a 60 degrees toroidal shift in the RMP field configuration, generates uniquely different edge pedestal profiles of the density, temperature, and rotation velocities, implying different effects on the related edge transport phenomena caused by the difference in toroidal phase of the I-coil currents. The diffusive and non-diffusive transport effects of this RMP toroidal phase reversal are analyzed by comparing the ion and electron heat diffusivities, angular momentum transport frequencies, ion diffusion coefficients, and the particle pinch velocities interpreted from the measured profiles for the two phases of the I-coil currents.
