Analysis of global hydromagnetic instabilities driven by strongly sheared toroidal flows in tokamak plasmas

Jonathan Graves

Recent numerical calculations have shown that while strong toroidal rotation can increase the external kink limit of tokamak plasmas, the associated rotation shear can drive a Kelvin-Helmholtz like global instability in the plasma, if the rotation frequenc ...

Indirect measurement of poloidal rotation using inboard–outboard asymmetry of toroidal rotation and comparison with neoclassical predictions

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Alexander Karpushov, Yanis Andrebe, Yann Camenen, Alessandro Bortolon, Lucia Isabel Federspiel

An alternative experimental spectroscopic measurement of poloidal plasma rotation in toroidally confined plasmas is proven effective in the TCV tokamak. Charge exchange recombination measurements of the toroidal rotation profile over the full mid-plane pla ...

Observations on turbulence and beam-ion driven modes in TEXTOR

Stefano Coda, Mattia Albergante, Cornelis Adrianus de Meijere

At a sufficiently weak toroidal magnetic field, neutral beam injection heated, limited plasmas in the TEXTOR tokamak exhibit bursts of beam-ion driven 'fishbone' and Alfven modes, which are characterized for the first time using the multi-antenna reflectom ...

Predictions on heat transport and plasma rotation from global gyrokinetic simulations

Laurent Villard, Trach-Minh Tran, Alberto Bottino, Sébastien Jolliet, Paolo Angelino, Ben McMillan

Flux-driven global gyrokinetic codes are now mature enough to make predictions in terms of turbulence and transport in tokamak plasmas. Some of the recent breakthroughs of three such codes, namely GYSELA, ORB5 and XGC1, are reported and compared wherever a ...

Physics design of a saddle coil system for TCV

Yves Martin, Jean-Marc Moret, Jonathan Rossel

The upgrade project for TCV (Tokamak à Configuration Variable) includes the installation of a set of saddle coils, namely the saddle coil system (SCS), located and powered such as to create a helical magnetic perturbation. Using independent power supplies, ...

Saturated ideal modes in advanced tokamak regimes in MAST

Jonathan Graves

MAST plasmas with a safety factor above unity and a profile with either weakly reversed shear or broad low-shear regions, regularly exhibit long-lived saturated ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities. The toroidal rotation is flattened in the presen ...

SOLPS modelling of ELMing H-mode

Barbora Bruant Gulejová

Numerical simulation of the tokamak scrape-off layer (SOL) is an essential tool for the prediction of the conditions to be expected in future fusion reactors such as the ITER project, now under construction in Southern France. One particularly important is ...

Plasma rotation and momentum transport studies in the TCV tokamak based on charge exchange spectroscopy measurements

Alessandro Bortolon

Thermonuclear controlled fusion research is a highly active branch of plasma physics. The main goal is the production of energy from the fusion reaction of hydrogen isotope nuclei, the same reaction that powers stars. The most promising present approach ar ...

Mid- to late Holocene climate change- an overview

Jed Oliver Kaplan, Stefan Müller

The last 6000 years are of particular interest to the understanding of the Earth System because the boundary conditions of the climate system did not change dramatically (in comparison to larger glacial–interglacial changes), and because abundant, detailed ...

Quadrupolar Phases of theS=1Bilinear-Biquadratic Heisenberg Model on the Triangular Lattice

Frédéric Mila, Karlo Penc

Using mean-field theory, exact diagonalizations, and SU(3) flavor theory, we have precisely mapped out the phase diagram of the S=1 bilinear-biquadratic Heisenberg model on the triangular lattice in a magnetic field, with emphasis on the quadrupolar phases ...
