摘要
Global linear gyrokinetic simulations using realistic DIII-D tokamak geometry and plasma profiles find co-existence of unstable reversed shear Alfvén eigenmodes(RSAE)with low toroidal mode number n and electromagnetic ion temperature gradient(ITG)instabilities with higher toroidal mode number n.For intermediate n?=?[10,12],RSAE and ITG co-exist and overlap weakly in the radial domain with similar growth rates but different real frequencies.Both RSAE and ITG growth rates decrease less than 5%when compressible magnetic perturbations are neglected in the simulations.The ITG growth rates increase less than 7%when fast ions are not included in the simulations.Finally,the effects of trapped electrons on the RSAE are negligible.
