Oscillatory relaxation of zonal flows in a multi-species stellarator plasma

, 2018
The low frequency oscillatory relaxation of zonal potential perturbations is studied numerically in the TJ-II stellarator (where it was experimentally detected for the first time).

An Overview of Stellar Pulsation Theory [PDF]

Astrophysics and Space Science, 1993
AbstractIn this paper I will give overview of the stellar pulsation theory. Starting with basic equations I will discuss modal properties of oscillations and excitation mechanisms. I also mention briefly the effects of rotation.

The level of non-thermal velocity fluctuations deduced from Doppler spectroscopy and its role on TJ-II confinement

, 2009
The goal of this investigation is to study, in the line of previous works, the level of velocity fluctuations in different scenarios of the TJ-II stellarator.

Theory, Observation and Experiment: Stellar Hydrodynamics [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1997
Computer technology now allows two dimensional (2D) simulations, with complex microphysics, of stellar hydrodynamics and evolutionary sequences, and holds the promise for 3D. Careful validation of astrophysical methods, by laboratory experiment, by critical comparison of numerical and analytical methods, and by observation are necessary for the ...

Collisionless microinstabilities in stellarators I - analytical theory of trapped-particle modes

, 2013
This is the first of two papers about collisionless, electrostatic micro-instabilities in stellarators, with an emphasis on trapped-particle modes. It is found that, in so-called maximum-$J$ configurations, trapped-particle instabilities are absent in ...

Wolf-Rayet Stellar Wind Theory [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1991
Two possible solutions to the Wolf-Rayet wind momentum problem are discussed: purely radiation driven wind theory, with multi-line effects, and Luminous Magnetic Rotator theory. Several recently developed radiative processes for enhancing M or v∞ are described, and it is concluded that only the winds of rather hot luminous Wolf-Rayet stars could ...

Dynamics of zonal flow-like structures in the edge of the TJ-II stellarator

, 2012
The dynamics of fluctuating electric field structures in the edge of the TJ-II stellarator, that display zonal flow-like traits, is studied. These structures have been shown to be global and affect particle transport dynamically [J.A. Alonso et al., Nucl.
