Abstract
The impact of the poloidally inhomogeneous particle source on the onset of Stringer spin-up (SSU) and geodesic acoustic mode (GAM) is investigated. Using a gyrofluid model with Hammet–Perkins closure, it was found that Landau damping stabilizes both waves and subsequently makes a threshold. To capture the full effects of Landau damping, a gyrokinetic model is adopted and results are compared with those from the gyrofluid model. Both models predicted the same value of the threshold for SSU, while for the case of GAM, the gyrofluid model overestimates the threshold value. Considering maximal throughput of the ITER pellet fueling system, the source intensity is calculated at a similar or slightly lower level compared to the source threshold for SSU.
