Up-down symmetry of the turbulent transport of toroidal angular momentum in tokamaks
ArXiv 1102.3717 (2011)
Abstract:
Two symmetries of the local nonlinear delta-f gyrokinetic system of equations in tokamaks in the high flow regime are presented. The turbulent transport of toroidal angular momentum changes sign under an up-down reflection of the tokamak and a sign change of both the rotation and the rotation shear. Thus, the turbulent transport of toroidal angular momentum must vanish for up-down symmetric tokamaks in the absence of both rotation and rotation shear. This has important implications for the modeling of spontaneous rotation.Up-down symmetry of the turbulent transport of toroidal angular momentum in tokamaks
