Overview of the JET preparation for deuterium-tritium operation with the ITER like-wall

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Yiming Li, Basil Duval, Martinus Gijs, Duccio Testa, Jonathan Graves, Patrick Blanchard, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Alessandro Pau

For the past several years, the JET scientific programme (Pamela et al 2007 Fusion Eng. Des. 82 590) has been engaged in a multi-campaign effort, including experiments in D, H and T, leading up to 2020 and the first experiments with 50%/50% D-T mixtures si ...

Interpretative and predictive modelling of Joint European Torus collisionality scans

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Yiming Li, Basil Duval, Jonathan Graves, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Henri Weisen, Alessandro Pau

Transport modelling of Joint European Torus (JET) dimensionless collisionality scaling experiments in various operational scenarios is presented. Interpretative simulations at a fixed radial position are combined with predictive JETTO simulations of temper ...

First principles and integrated modelling achievements towards trustful fusion power predictions for JET and ITER

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Yiming Li, Basil Duval, Jonathan Graves, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Henri Weisen, Samuel Lanthaler, Alessandro Pau

Predictability of burning plasmas is a key issue for designing and building credible future fusion devices. In this context, an important effort of physics understanding and guidance is being carried out in parallel to JET experimental campaigns in H and D ...

A new mechanism for increasing density peaking in tokamaks: improvement of the inward particle pinch with edge E x B shearing

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Yiming Li, Basil Duval, Jonathan Graves, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Henri Weisen, Federico Nespoli, Alessandro Pau

Developing successful tokamak operation scenarios, as well as confident extrapolation of present-day knowledge requires a rigorous understanding of plasma turbulence, which largely determines the quality of the confinement. In particular, accurate particle ...

Recurrence Plots for Dynamic Analysis of Type-I ELMs at JET With a Carbon Wall

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Yiming Li, Basil Duval, Jonathan Graves, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Henri Weisen, Federico Nespoli, Alessandro Pau

In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of type-I edge-localized modes (ELM) time series from the JET tokamak, the world's largest magnetic confinement plasma physics experiment, have been investigated through recurrence plots (RPs). The analysis has be ...

Adaptive learning for disruption prediction in non-stationary conditions

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Yiming Li, Basil Duval, Jonathan Graves, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Henri Weisen, Alessandro Pau, Yann Camenen

For many years, machine learning tools have proved to be very powerful disruption predictors in tokamaks. On the other hand, the vast majority of the techniques deployed assume that the input data is independent and is sampled from exactly the same probabi ...

Current and pressure gradient triggering and nonlinear saturation of low-n edge harmonic oscillations in tokamaks

Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle, Daniele Brunetti, Andreas Kleiner

Non-axisymmetric free-boundary equilibrium computations are shown to represent nonlinearly saturated external kink modes and external kink-like sidebands coupled to pressure-driven infernal modes. In this study of edge harmonic oscillations associated with ...

Reduced models for parallel magnetic field fluctuations and their impact on pressure gradient driven MHD instabilities in axisymmetric toroidal plasmas

Jonathan Graves, Samuel Lanthaler, Daniele Brunetti

It is well known that parallel magnetic field fluctuations are connected with finite plasma beta effects. It can therefore be expected that Reduced Models that simplify or neglect the parallel magnetic field may not capture the salient physics of all types ...

Control of the hydrogen:deuterium isotope mixture using pellets in JET

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Yiming Li, Basil Duval, Jonathan Graves, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Henri Weisen, Alessandro Pau

Deuterium pellets are injected into an initially pure hydrogen H-mode plasma in order to control the hydrogen: deuterium (H:D) isotope mixture. The pellets are deposited in the outer 20% of the minor radius, similar to that expected in ITER, creating trans ...
