Abstract

Theory explaining the mechanism for triggering improved confinement induced by tangential injection of compact torus (CTs) into the Saskatchewan Torus-Modified (STOR-M) tokamak was analyzed.It was shown that such structurally robust CTs can be formed and accelerated with coaxial electrodes in an injector. The lack of appreciable change in the equilibrium radial electric field during the transition to the improved mode was observed. The results show that using tyhe theory it is possible to form a transport barrier by purely parallel flow curvature.
