Popis: | Shearing of the plasma poloidal rotation velocity was observed during application of ion Bernstein wave power in the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor. The first evidence of corroboration between measured poloidal velocity shearing and actively induced Reynolds stress effects is presented. A model reproduces salient experimental features: The observed sheared flow occurs near the tritium fifth harmonic cyclotron resonance layer and depends strongly on the tritium density in agreement with the model. Furthermore, the model reproduces the observed insensitivity of the induced rotation to the tritium density in the region between the third deuterium harmonic layer and the fifth tritium harmonic layer. {copyright} {ital 1999} {ital The American Physical Society} |
