  摘要:Prior to ELM crash, shear Alfvenic wave fluctuations are observed in HL-2A NBI H-mode Plasmas. These Alfvenic fluctuations principally come from the contributions of unstable toroidal Alfven eigenmodes (TAEs). There are strong nonlinear mode couplings between dominant TAEs with n=3-4 and low frequency MHD mode (kink or fishbone) with n=1 before the ELM crash. The pitch-fork phenomena of TAEs grow explosively and become an explosive instability. The explosive events have two kind fine structures, i.e., multi-modes and pitch-fork. The two kind structures can coexist, but the strong nonlinear mode coupling induces that the pitch-fork weakens or vanishes and the modes blow-up in finite-time, and this indicates that the nonlinear mode coupling may redistribute energetic-ions, destroy hole-clump pairs in the phase-space, and maybe induce three-wave mixing nonlinearly. As a consequence, we find and identify firstly that the TAE nonlinear dynamics triggers the onset of ELMs and pedestal collapse within several hundred Alfven times, and they are correlated to the irregular shape ELM features. The experimental result manifests that the nonlinear dynamics of Alfven fluctuations may furnish an additional perturbation of the energetic-particle pressure in the pedestal, and this pressure perturbation can move closer to MHD limit, so that the ELM trigger is determined by the nonlinear mode coupling and edge stability. These findings can help to understand the triggering mechanism of an ELM event.
