Role of parallel flow in the improved mode on the STOR-M tokamak
Abstract:
A novel feature of the H-mode induced by compact torus injection on the STOR-M tokamak is observed. There is almost no change in the radial electric field profiles during and after the L-H transition. The usual hypothesis of the E x B shear stabilization mechanism is therefore unlikely to play a role in this transition. A new mechanism of the stabilization of microinstabilities by parallel flow is suggested as the plausible cause for the transition to this improved regime.

Magnetic Force Between Two Parallel Currents
The force exerted by the magnetic field due to the first conductor over a finite length of the second conductor is given as the product of the current in the second conductor and the vector product of the length vector along the current element and the field due to the first conductor. According to the...
