▼a A key aspect of turbulent dynamics is the inherent coupling of fluctuations at disparate spatial scales. One significant multi-scale phenomenon is the degradation of zonal flows by large-scale radial magnetic perturbations that result in an increase of small-scale microturbulence and affiliated transport. Two prominent sources of radial magnetic field fluctuations are examined in this thesis, resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) in tokamaks and tearing modes in reversed-field pinches (RFPs). This interplay is studied with gyrokinetics to model DIII-D tokamak and MST RFP plasmas. An imposed magnetic perturbation that mimics a tearing mode increases the level of trapped-electron-mode turbulence to a level consistent with fluctuation and transport measurements in MST plasmas. This motivated a dedicated experiment on DIII-D to study the impact of varying RMP amplitude on turbulence in inboard-limited L-mode plasmas. Highlights of the theory-experiment comparison are presented. To study the self-consistent multi-scale interaction of the tearing mode physics, nonlinear simulations containing both tearing mode (driven from equilibrium current gradients) and microinstability scales are performed in a slab geometry. The system is characterized by distinct microinstability- and tearing-dominated regimes. Within the microturbulence-dominated phase, the slow tearing mode growth corresponds directly to a decay in zonal flow. The turbulence levels driven at both large and small scales is increased from single-scale simulations, clearly demonstrated the importance of cross scale interactions. |
