Model-based impurity emission front control using deuterium fueling and nitrogen seeding in TCV

Basil Duval, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Cristian Galperti, Artur Perek

This paper presents the first result using nitrogen-seeded exhaust feedback control of the NII impurity emission front in TCV. The NII emission front position is consistently located below its commonly used CIII counterpart, indicating the NII emission fro ...

How accurate are flux-tube (local) gyrokinetic codes in modeling energetic particle effects on core turbulence?

Olivier Sauter, Alberto Bottino, Emanuele Poli

Flux-tube (local) gyrokinetic codes are widely used to simulate drift-wave turbulence in magnetic confinement devices. While a large number of studies show that flux-tube codes provide an excellent approximation for turbulent transport in medium-large devi ...

Shafranov shift correction to the Furth-Yoshikawa scaling of tokamak adiabatic compression

Olivier Sauter

In 1970, Furth and Yoshikawa (1970 Phys. Fluids 13 2593-6) introduced the scalings of adiabatic plasma compression. Basically, if the shape of the external plasma boundary and the aspect ratio are preserved during the compression, then the density, kinetic ...

Solar Wind Protons in the Diamagnetic Cavity at Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

Lucie Anemone Scharré

The plasma environment at a comet can be divided into different regions with distinct plasma characteristics. Two such regions are the solar wind ion cavity, which refers to the part of the outer coma that does not contain any solar wind ions anymore; and ...

Characterization of transversely confined electron beam-generated plasma using two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations

Haomin Sun, Guang-Yu Sun

Electron beam-generated plasmas (EBPs) have been used to modify the surface properties. In certain applications, EBPs are transversely confined and their properties are of value to the treatment. In this paper, the characteristics of an electron beam-gener ...

Gyrokinetic simulation of low-n Alfvenic modes in tokamak HL-2A plasmas

Javier García Hernández, Samuele Mazzi

The turbulence characteristics of plasmas with internal transport barriers in the HL-2A tokamak are analyzed by means of linear gyrokinetic simulations. It is found that turbulence is dominated by the ion temperature gradient (ITG) mode together with large ...

Gyrokinetic simulations of plasma turbulence in a Z-pinch using a moment-based approach and advanced collision operators

Paolo Ricci, Baptiste Jimmy Frei, Antoine Cyril David Hoffmann

The first nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations obtained using a moment approach based on the Hermite-Laguerre decomposition of the distribution function are presented, implementing advanced models for the collision operator. Turbulence in a two-dimensional Z- ...

Effect of triangularity on plasma turbulence and the SOL-width scaling in L-mode diverted tokamak configurations

Paolo Ricci, Louis Nicolas Stenger, Davide Mancini, Maurizio Giacomin

The effect of triangularity on tokamak boundary plasma turbulence is investigated using global, flux-driven, three-dimensional, two-fluid simulations. The simulations show that negative triangularity (NT) stabilizes boundary plasma turbulence, and linear i ...

Present design of the Steering Mirror Assembly (SMA) for ITER ECHUL

Timothy Goodman, René Chavan, Anastasia Xydou

In the ITER Tokamak, four Electron Cyclotron Heating Upper Launchers (ECHUL) are needed to control plasma instabilities at the rational surfaces, most importantly the q = 3/2 and q = 2/1 neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs). Each ECHUL is equipped with a set ...
