Divertor turbulence characterisation using Gas Puff Imaging in the TCV tokamak

Curdin Tobias Wüthrich

The performance of magnetic confinement fusion devices, such as tokamaks, is strongly correlated to the phenomena that occur in the boundary region of the plasma core that faces the wall of the device. The dominant cross-field transport mechanisms from the ...

Global fluid simulation of plasma turbulence in a stellarator with an island divertor

Paolo Ricci, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Maurizio Giacomin, António João Caeiro Heitor Coelho

Results of a three-dimensional, flux-driven, electrostatic, global, two-fluid turbulence simulation for a five-field period stellarator with an island divertor are presented. The numerical simulation is carried out with the GBS code, recently extended to s ...

The SparSpec algorithm and the application to the detection of spatial periodicities in tokamaks: from a 1D to a 2D analysis

Duccio Testa

A well-known, previously only 1D, algorithm using the Sparse Representation of Signals and an iterative Block Coordinate Descent method (the SparSpec-1D algorithm) has been further developed and tested in a 2D spatial domain to obtain the toroidal and polo ...

Chiral fermion asymmetry in high-energy plasma simulations

Jennifer Waltraud Schober

The chiral magnetic effect (CME) is a quantum relativistic effect that describes the appearance of an additional electric current along a magnetic field. It is caused by an asymmetry between the number densities of left- and right-handed fermions, which ca ...

CEA Broad Studies on EU DEMO CS and PF Magnet Systems

Kamil Sedlák

In the framework of EU design activities for dimensioning the future fusion DEMOnstration reactor (DEMO), extensive analyses were conducted in EUROfusion context, aiming at ultimately defining the design of the DEMO magnet system. In this objective CEA pro ...

Divertor currents optimization procedure for JET-ILW high flux expansion experiments

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Martinus Gijs, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia

This paper deals with a divertor coil currents optimized procedure to design High Flux Expansion (HFE) configurations in the JET tokamak aimed to study the effects of flux expansion variation on the radiation fraction and radiated power re-distribution. A ...

Poloidal CX visible light plasma rotation diagnostics in TCV

Claudio Marini

Controlled thermonuclear fusion is the main goal of plasma physics. At the Swiss Plasma Center, the Tokamak `a Configuration Variable (TCV) constitutes the main experiment on fusion research, where high temperature plasmas are confined by means of magneti ...

Basic characterization of TORPEX electrostatic modes in closed field line configurations

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Fabio Avino, Sébastien Jolliet

Electrostatic coherent modes are studied in the TORPEX device [Fasoli et al., Plasma Phys. Controlled Fusion 52, 124020 (2010)], in closed flux surfaces. The accessibility to this magnetic geometry is provided by a current-carrying in-vessel toroidal condu ...

Optimization of experimental snowflake configurations on TCV

Stefano Coda, Jean-Marc Moret, Holger Reimerdes

The design of a snowflake (SF) equilibrium requires a strong effort on the poloidal field (PF) currents in terms of MAturns and mechanical loads. This has limited the maximum plasma current in SF configurations on Tokamak a Configuration Variable (TCV) to ...

Turbulent regimes in the tokamak scrape-off layer

Paolo Ricci, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Sébastien Jolliet, Federico David Halpern, Annamaria Mosetto

We identify the turbulent regimes in the tokamak scrape-off layer as a function of plasma resistivity, electron to ion mass ratio, safety factor, and magnetic shear. We find that two main instabilities drive turbulence in the SOL: Drift Waves, with their r ...
