Capillary Electrophoretic Separation of Proteins under the Control of Radial Electric Field

Separation of basic proteins was performed using a homemade field-modulated capillary electrophoresis system. The resolution. elution and even wall adsorption can be regulated by ad-lusting the radial rather than axial voltage applied. Selection of running buffer and pH was found to be critical.

Numerical Simulation of Modified Radial Electric Field by LHCD

Based on the electron’s radial force equilibrium, the profiles of radial electric field in OH and LHCD phase are calculated by using a simulation code. The dependences of radial electron field on electron density and its profile and different current ratio, Irf/Ip, are given. The connections between the improvement of plasma confinement and the modified radial electric field by LHCD are discussed by comparing the calculated results with the experimental results.

Development of the PARASOL Code and Full Particle Simulation of Tokamak Plasma with an Open-Field SOL-Divertor Region Using PARASOL

The PARASOL code and the simulation by using PARASOL are introduced briefly. The PARASOL code with particle-in-cell （PIC） method and binary collision model was developed in JAERI and JAEA. Simulations using PARASOL code were carried out in order to investigate the power and particle control with diveror system in fusion reactors. The one-dimensional （1D） version of PARASOL was adopted to investigate the Bohm criterion, the supersonic flow, the SOL heat conduction, and so on. The heat propagation due to edge localized mode （ELM） was studied with the 1D-dynamic PARASOL. The two-dimensional version of PARASOL for the whole tokamak plasma including scrape-off-layer （SOL）-divertor region was useful for simulating the SOL flow pattern, the electric field formation etc. Based on PARASOL simulation results, improved physics modeling for the fluid simulation was built up.

Numerical studies on the influences of gas temperature on atmospheric-pressure helium dielectric barrier discharge characteristics

A fast-rising gas temperature is due to frequent collisions of the heavy particles in an atmosphericpressure dielectric barrier discharge.In this paper,a two-dimensional fluid model is applied to investigate the influences of rising gas temperature on an atmospheric-pressure helium dielectric barrier discharge.With the increase in the gas temperature,it is found that:(1)a helium discharge can evolve from the discharge column to a homogeneous discharge;(2)the breakdown time is in advance and the gas breakdown voltage decreases;(3)the spatial distribution evolution of the electron density is similar to that of the helium atom density.The most significant discrepancy between them is that the electron densities are high at some positions where the helium atom densities are nevertheless low.Furthermore,the radial reduced electric fields are obtained under different gas temperatures.The physical reasons for the gas temperature effects are discussed.The simulation results provide a better understanding of the roles of the radial reduced electric field and the heavy particle.

Effects of resonant magnetic perturbations on the loss of energetic ions in tokamak pedestal

Resonant magnetic perturbations(RMPs) are extensively applied to mitigate or suppress the edge localized mode in tokamak plasmas, but will break the axisymmetric magnetic field configuration and increase the loss of energetic ions. The mechanism of RMPs induced energetic ion loss has been extensively studied, and is mainly attributed to resonant effects. In this paper,in the perturbed non-axisymmetric tokamak pedestal, we analytically derive the equations of guiding center motion for energetic ions including the bounce/transit averaged radial drift velocity and the toroidal precession frequency modified by strong radial electric field. The loss time of energetic ions is numerically solved and its parametric dependence is analyzed in detail.We find that passing energetic ions cannot escape from the plasma, while deeply trapped energetic ions can escape from the plasma. The strong radial electric field plays an important role in modifying the toroidal precession frequency and resulting in the drift loss of trapped energetic ions. The loss time of trapped energetic ions is much smaller than the corresponding slowdown time in DIII-D pedestal. This indicates that the loss of trapped energetic ions in the perturbed non-axisymmetric pedestal is important, especially for the trapped energetic ions generated by perpendicular neutral beam injection.
