Effect of Model Accuracy on the Result of Computed Current Densities in the Simulation of Transcranical Magnetic Stimulation

Juan Ramon Mosig, Michael Mattes, Laleh Golestanirad

One of the most hindering limitations in the simulation of a realistic biological system is the complexity of the model which may easily lead to a very heavy computational burden. This may seriously question the possibility of optimizing system parameters ...

On the 3D Reconstruction of Coronal Mass Ejections using Coronagraph Data

Coronal Mass ejections (CMEs) are enormous eruptions of magnetized plasma expelled from the Sun into the interplanetary space, over the course of hours to days. They can create major disturbances in the interplanetary medium and trigger severe magnetic sto ...

JET (He-3)-D scenarios relying on RF heating: survey of selected recent experiments

Alessandro Marinoni

Recent JET experiments have been devoted to the study of (He-3)-D plasmas involving radio frequency (RF) heating. This paper starts by discussing the RF heating efficiency theoretically expected in such plasmas, covering both relevant aspects of wave and o ...

Clarifications to the limitations of the s-alpha equilibrium model for gyrokinetic computations of turbulence

Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner, Sébastien Jolliet, Xavier Lapillonne, Alessandro Marinoni

In the context of gyrokinetic flux-tube simulations of microturbulence in magnetized toroidal plasmas, different treatments of the magnetic equilibrium are examined. Considering the Cyclone DIII-D base case parameter set [Dimits et al., Phys. Plasmas 7, 96 ...

Study of the solar anisotropy of cosmic ray primaries of about 200 GeV energy with the L3+C muon detector

Qian Wang, Aurelio Bay, Horst Vogel, Eduardo Sanchez, Zhirui Xu, Werner Lustermann, Liang Sun, Jian Zhao, Yu Lei, Ji Hyun Kim, Zheng Wang, Matthias Weber, Xiao Wang, Yifei Guo, Xuan Yang

Context. Primary cosmic rays experience multiple deflections in the non-uniform galactic and heliospheric magnetic fields which may generate anisotropies. Aims. A study of anisotropies in the energy range between 100 and 500 GeV is performed. This energy r ...

Analytical Solution for Rotor Eddy-Current Losses in a Slotless Permanent-Magnet Motor: The Case of Current Sheet Excitation

Yves Perriard, Miroslav Markovic

We present an analytical solution for the magnetic field, induced eddy currents, and the corresponding losses generated in the rotor of a slotless permanent-magnet (PM) motor. The field excitation is a current sheet placed at the stator interior surface. T ...

Monte Carlo ICRH simulations in fully shaped anisotropic plasmas

Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Stephan Brunner, Martin Jucker, Nicolas Mellet

This work shows a self-consistent numerical model of ion cyclotron resonant heating (ICRH) in a plasma of arbitrary (2D or 3D) geometry. Effects of anisotropy and full shaping on both MHD equilibrium and the dielectric tensor are explored. In particular, i ...

ITER ECRH-ECCD system capabilities for extended physics applications

Hartmut Zohm, Emanuele Poli

The ability of ITER electron cyclotron (EC) wave launchers to drive localized current at various plasma locations is analyzed by means of beam-tracing codes, looking at extended physics application of EC current drive in ITER and at possible synergy betwee ...

SOLPS5 modelling of ELMing H-mode on TCV

Barbora Bruant Gulejová, Richard Pitts, Jan Horacek, Roland Behn, Marco Wischmeier, János Márki

Although ohmic H-modes have long been produced on the TCV tokamak and the effects of ELMs at the divertor targets studied in some detail [1], no attempt has yet been made to model the scrape-off layer (SOL) in these plasmas. This contribution describes det ...

EDGE2D code simulations of SOL flows and in-out divertor asymmetries in JET

Richard Pitts

EDGE2D simulations show that high SOL flows can be generated when an additional radial convective transport is applied in the SOL and pedestal region along with a 'ballooning-like' poloidal variation in transport. This model produces an inward particle flu ...
