A small component of ECCD exists when heating off-axis with no toroidal injection due to the field helicity. The sign of the ECCD will change depending on the absorption location in a poloidal plane, the beam injection relative to delB(vac), and the direct ...
The helical distortion of a compact tokamak plasma with currents in modular Furth-Hartman type coils is investigated with respect to the impact on the magnetic field structure and to the ideal magnetohydrodynamic stability. A sequence of configurations, in ...
The modelling of Alfvenic instabilities is discussed from the point of view of mode-conversion, showing how the development of the theory affects the predictions as the limitations of the models are gradually relaxed. Conventional tokamak plasmas are relat ...
The linear equation for ideal magnetohydrodynamic ballooning modes in three-dimensional configurations is derived in the coordinate system that is optimal for the representation of the equilibrium state. The magnetic field lines in this coordinate system, ...
We consider a nonlinear elliptic-parabolic system modelling induction heating processes when a sinusoidal electromagnetic field is applied at the boundary of the inductor. The magnetic field satisfies an elliptic equation whereas the temperature equation i ...
We consider a nonlinear elliptic-parabolic system which stems from the modelling of heat induction processes in which a sinusoidal electromagnetic field is applied at the boundary of the inductor. The magnetic field satisfies an elliptic equation whereas t ...
The large variety of plasma shapes produced in the TCV tokamak places unique demands on the plasma facing surfaces. In particular, the central column graphite armour tiles are solicited during the creation of all TCV plasmas and function as power handling ...
The TCV Tokamak was designed to create a large variety of plasma shapes. Such a large flexibility requires high precision magnetic measurements with a good spatial coverage. This article gives a detailed description of the magnetic sensor geometry, fabrica ...
A reduced scalar magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) description for linear perturbations of arbitrary aspect-ratio, fully three-dimensional plasma configurations is derived for perturbations with short scale-length perpendicular to the magnetic field. The applicati ...
A new technique and results are presented for the estimation of the open loop frequency response of the plasma on TCV. Voltages were applied to poloidal field coils and the resulting plasma current, position and shape related parameters were measured. The ...
