Two types of electrostatic modes with small-poloidal wave numbers (approximately 1 and 10-15 kHz) are observed in the edge region of Ohmically heated plasmas in the JFT-2M tokamak. The envelope of the higher frequency coherent mode is modulated at the frequency of the lower frequency mode. A bispectral analysis revealed that a significant nonlinear coupling among the two types of fluctuations and the broadband background turbulent potential fluctuations occurs inside the last closed magnetic flux surface, suggesting that a nonlinear process such as the parametric-modulational instability is involved.
在JFT - 2M托卡马克欧姆加热等离子体的边缘区域观察到两种具有小极向波数(约1至15千赫兹)的静电模式。高频相干模式的包络以低频模式的频率被调制。双谱分析表明,在最后封闭磁通量表面内部,两种波动类型与宽带背景湍流势波动之间存在显著的非线性耦合,这表明涉及到诸如参量调制不稳定性等非线性过程。
