Investigating plasma turbulence requires multipoint detection. This study details a 64-channel poloidal probe array for studying turbulence and nonlinear mode couplings, addressing probe misalignment issues affecting wave number measurements.

Area of Science:

  • Plasma physics
  • Nonlinear dynamics
  • Astrophysical fluid dynamics

Background:

  • Plasma turbulence is a complex nonlinear phenomenon crucial for understanding space and astrophysical systems.
  • Accurate multipoint detection is vital for characterizing turbulence properties like nonlinear mode couplings.
  • Existing diagnostic methods face challenges in precisely measuring wave number spectra due to instrumental limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel 64-channel poloidal probe array for detailed investigation of plasma turbulence.
  • To study nonlinear mode couplings in the poloidal wave number and frequency domain.
  • To analyze and mitigate the impact of probe tip misalignments on wave number measurements.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a 64-channel poloidal probe array surrounding the LMD-U linear cylindrical plasma device.
