Math Physics Seminar: Parallel heat transport in reverse shear magnetic fields
Mon, 01/23/2012 - 12:05pm, Skiles 006
Daniel Blazevski, University of Texas, Organizer: Michael Loss
I will discuss local and nonlocal anisotropic heat transport along magnetic field lines in a tokamak, a device used to confine plasma undergoing fusion. I will give computational results that relate certain dynamical features of the magnetic field, e.g. resonance islands, chaotic regions, transport barriers, etc. to the asymptotic temperature profiles for heat transport along the magnetic field lines.
