摘要

The Sf kinetic-magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model in the 3D extended-MHD code NIMROD is used to perform a linear simulation study of energetic particle effects on the n = 1 mode in a DIII-D hybrid discharge. The hybrid discharge has a long steady state with low q_(min)≥ 1 at high confinement, is useful for numerous physics studies, and is a candidate operational scenario for burning plasma experiments. But hybrid discharges are limited to moderate βn by the m = 2/1 instability, which onsets with small increases in βN. Using realistic equilibria based on experimental reconstructions from DIII-D, the stability of the n = 1 mode during the steady state of a hybrid discharge is computed over a (q_(min), βn) space. MHD stability analyses do not indicate instability to the n = 1 for small increases in βN above that of the experimental discharge. Our results show that energetic particles significantly change the stability map in (q_(min), βn) parameter space from the MHD-only result. Unstable modes are driven by energetic particles far into the MHD stable region in (q_(min),βn) space. Three different unstable regions are identified, each being defined by the fastest growing mode and distinctly different frequencies. We examine sample eigenmodes from these three regions. At low q_(min) ~ 1 the drive is associated with the fishbone mode, while the higher q_(min) ≥ 1.12 the drive is associated with the Beta induced Alfven eigenmode. Overlaying the experimental trajectory in the same (q_(min), βn) parameter space shows that all three regions are in proximity to the trajectory. In the higher q_(min) region a mode with a broad m = 2/1 dominant structure is most unstable, while in the region of the trajectory the most unstable mode has a m = 1/1 component localized near the axis. Experimentally, a nonlinearly saturated m = 1/1 structure is observed localized near the magnetic axis. This agreement suggests that the m = 2/1 mode may be triggered by energetic particles in these discharges.
