Resumo
Braginskii reduced equations of two-fluid hydrodynamics are modified to take into account the presence of an external ac electric field localized in the tokamak near-wall layer. Numerical simulations show that, after reaching certain amplitude, such a field oscillating with the frequency ω ≈ ωGAM is capable of suppressing turbulent processes. The turbulence suppression mechanism consists in a sharp decrease in the growth rate of drift-resistive ballooning instability due to the appearance of additional nonlinear terms related to the external field in the equation for the vorticity.
