Analytic study on low-n external ideal infernal modes in tokamaks with large edge pressure gradients

Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Daniele Brunetti, Alberto Mariani

The problem of pressure driven infernal type perturbations near the plasma edge is addressed analytically for a circular limited tokamak configuration which presents an edge flattened safety factor. The plasma is separated from a metallic wall, either idea ...

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 ...

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 ...

Three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium of quiescent H-modes in tokamak systems

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Trach-Minh Tran, Jonathan Marc Philippe Faustin, Hamish William Patten, Samuel Lanthaler, Madhusudan Raghunathan, Andreas Kleiner

Three dimensional free boundary magnetohydrodynamic equilibria that recover saturated ideal kink/peeling structures are obtained numerically. Simulations that model the JET tokamak at fixed = 1.7% with a large edge bootstrap current that flattens t ...

Sawtooth control in JET with ITER relevant low field side resonance ion cyclotron resonance heating and ITER-like wall

Jonathan Graves, Jonathan Marc Philippe Faustin

New experiments at JET with the ITER-like wall show for the first time that ITER-relevant low field side resonance first harmonic ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) can be used to control sawteeth that have been initially lengthened by fast particles. ...

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 ...

Three-dimensional distortions of the tokamak plasma boundary: boundary displacements in the presence of resonant magnetic perturbations

Wilfred Anthony Cooper

The three-dimensional plasma boundary displacements induced by applied non-axisymmetric magnetic perturbations have been measured in ASDEX Upgrade, DIII-D, JET, MAST and NSTX. The displacements arising from applied resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) ar ...
