Linear collisionless dynamics of the GAM with kinetic electrons: Comparison simulations/theory

Alberto Bottino

Barely trapped and passing electrons have been recently predicted to strongly enhance the damping rate of Geodesic Acoustic Modes (GAMs) in tokamak plasmas, while keeping their real frequency almost unchanged as compared to the case with adiabatic electron ...

Validation of the ICRF antenna coupling code RAPLICASOL against TOPICA and experiments

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Timothy Goodman, Yves Martin, Jean-Marc Moret, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Bruno Marchand, Holger Reimerdes

In this paper we validate the finite element code RAPLICASOL, which models radiofrequency wave propagation in edge plasmas near ICRF antennas, against calculations with the TOPICA code. We compare the output of both codes for the ASDEX Upgrade 2-strap ante ...

Mode excitation by an antenna in global gyrokinetic simulations

Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner, Emmanuel Lanti, Alberto Bottino, Ben McMillan, Noé Thomas Elie Ohana

In order to get a better understanding of the linear and non-linear plasma interaction of microinstabilities and associated turbulence with different specific modes, an antenna is implemented in the global gyrokinetic code ORB5. It consists in applying an ...

Benchmark of gyrokinetic, kinetic MHD and gyrofluid codes for the linear calculation of fast particle driven TAE dynamics

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Alberto Bottino

Fast particles in fusion plasmas may drive Alfven modes unstable leading to fluctuations of the internal electromagnetic fields and potential loss of particles. Such instabilities can have an impact on the performance and the wall-load of machines with bur ...

Verification of Gyrokinetic codes: Theoretical background and applications

Laurent Villard, Alberto Bottino

In fusion plasmas, the strong magnetic field allows the fast gyro-motion to be systematically removed from the description of the dynamics, resulting in a considerable model simplification and gain of computational time. Nowadays, the gyrokinetic (GK) code ...

Overview of ASDEX Upgrade results

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Timothy Goodman, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Cristian Sommariva, Laurie Porte, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle, Haomin Sun, Yann Camenen

The ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) programme is directed towards physics input to critical elements of the ITER design and the preparation of ITER operation, as well as addressing physics issues for a future DEMO design. Since 2015, AUG is equipped with a new pair of ...

Cross-code gyrokinetic verification and benchmark on the linear collisionless dynamics of the geodesic acoustic mode

Alberto Bottino, Gabriele Merlo

The linear properties of the geodesic acoustic modes (GAMs) in tokamaks are investigated by means of the comparison of analytical theory and gyrokinetic numerical simulations. The dependence on the value of the safety factor, finite-orbit-width of the ions ...

Recent ASDEX Upgrade research in support of ITER and DEMO

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Timothy Goodman, Alessandro Pau, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Laurie Porte, Haomin Sun, Yann Camenen, Marco Wischmeier

Recent experiments on the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak aim at improving the physics base for ITER and DEMO to aid the machine design and prepare efficient operation. Type I edge localized mode (ELM) mitigation using resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) has been ...
