This article proposes a new method to evaluate basic characteristics of the dynamics of a coherent plasma structure (blob). With this method, one can evaluate the propagation angle of a blob in a two-dimensional plasma cross section as well as the blob velocity, size, and amplitude from one-dimensional data. The method is applied to blob measurements from the Lithium beam emission spectroscopy system in ASDEX-Upgrade. Statistical features of the observed blob velocities, angles of propagation, blob sizes, and amplitudes are discussed. The validity of the method is examined by comparing two values of the propagation angle that are evaluated in an independent manner.
本文提出了一种评估相干等离子体结构(团块)动力学基本特征的新方法。使用该方法,能够从一维数据评估团块在二维等离子体截面中的传播角度以及团块速度、尺寸和幅度。该方法应用于ASDEX-Upgrade装置锂束发射光谱系统的团块测量。讨论了观测到的团块速度、传播角度、团块尺寸和幅度的统计特征。通过比较以独立方式评估的两个传播角度值来检验该方法的有效性。
