  2. HL-2A • Outline • Introduction • Charge eXchange Recombination Spectroscopy (CXRS) in HL-2A tokamak • Toroidal rotation in HL-2A experiments with co-NBI • Toroidal rotation in ECRH L-mode discharges • Toroidal rotation in H-mode discharges • Toroidal rotation in I-phase of H-mode discharges • Summary

  3. HL-2A • Introduction • Plasma toroidal rotation plays a key role in regulating turbulence and has a beneficial effect on energy confinement in fusion devices. • The toroidal rotation is studied on HL-2A in recent co-current direction NBI experiments and charge exchange recombination spectroscopy (CXRS) is used to measure its velocity profiles. • Three cases are analyzed in this work.

  4. HL-2A Charge exchange recombination spectroscopy in HL-2A tokamak • It is in the midplace at the low magnetic field side • It has 8-13channels • Its spacial resolution is 3-5cm • Its time resolution is 20ms CXRS system sketch

  5. HL-2A Toroidal rotation in HL-2A experiments with co-NBI Toroidal rotation in ECRH L-mode discharge • NBI starts at 410ms, end at 900ms. • ECRH first stage start at 522ms, second stage start at 675ms, the last stage start at 828ms.

  6. HL-2A Toroidal rotation velocity distribution vs time ECRH power deposition • After ECRH starts, toroidal rotation velocity decreases in the core plasma and near ECRH deposition position. • Toroidal rotation velocity changes little far away from ECRH deposition position.

  7. HL-2A Toroidal rotation velocity decreases significantly in the core plasma and near ECRH deposition position. Toroidal rotation velocity distribution vs R

  8. HL-2A Toroidal rotation in ECRH L-mode discharge The discharge parameters is similar to those in shot 19959, NBI and ECRH starting and ending time is the same.

  9. HL-2A Toroidal rotation velocity distribution vs time Toroidal rotation velocity distribution vs R After ECRH starts, toroidal rotation velocity decreases in the core plasma and near ECRH deposition position. Toroidal rotation velocity decreases significantly in the core plasma and near ECRH deposition position.

  10. HL-2A Toroidal rotation in H-mode discharges Time evolutions of the core and edge toroidal rotation • The toroidal rotation velocities increase significantly from L-mode to H-mode discharges • The direction of edge toroidal rotation is reversed at the L-H transition • Both core and edge toroidal rotations decrease at the H-L back transition.

  11. HL-2A Toroidal rotation profiles in H-mode discharges The black line represents the L-mode phase. The red line does L-H transition stage. The blue line shows the beginning of the first ELM. The green line does H-mode phase. The purple line shows H-L transition stage. The yellow line represents back to L-mode stage. The toroidal rotation profiles at different stages The toroidal rotation continuously increases from L-mode to H-mode, and decreases from H-mode to L-mode. However, it is higher in the L-mode phase after H-L transition than that before the L-H transition.

  12. HL-2A Toroidal rotation in I-phase and H-phase of H-mode discharges The toroidal rotation velocities are compared between I-phase and H-phase • The stored energy increases from I-phase to H-phase. • The toroidal rotation velocities in I-phase are lower than those in H-phase. The red square symbols represent I-phase the blue circular symbols do H-phase.

  13. HL-2A • Summary • In ECH discharges, after ECRH starts, toroidal rotation velocity decreases significantly in the core plasma and near ECRH deposition position, and changes little far away from ECRH deposition position. • In H-mode discharges, the toroidal rotation continuously increases from L-mode to H-mode, and decreases from H-mode to L-mode. However, it is larger in the L-mode phase after H-L transition than that before the L-H transition. • In I-phase of H-mode discharges, the stored energy increases from I-phase to H-phase, and the toroidal rotation velocities in I-phase are lower than those in H-phase.
