Turbulence and flows in the plasma boundary of snowflake magnetic configurations

Paolo Ricci, Louis Nicolas Stenger, Maurizio Giacomin

The power exhaust through the scrape-off layer (SOL) in fusion reactors is expected to be significantly higher than in ITER, thus questioning the extrapolation of the ITER exhaust solution to these devices. The snowflake (SF) magnetic configuration is one ...

Nonlinear dynamics of energetic-particle driven geodesic acoustic modes in ASDEX Upgrade

Laurent Villard, Emmanuel Lanti, Alberto Bottino, Noé Thomas Elie Ohana, Emanuele Poli

Turbulence in tokamaks generates radially sheared zonal flows. Their oscillatory counterparts, geodesic acoustic modes (GAMs), appear due to the action of the magnetic field curvature. The GAMs can be driven unstable by an anisotropic energetic particle (E ...

An Algorithm for Toroidal Field Harmonics Computation in Arbitrary Magnetic Configurations

Luca Bottura, Enrico Felcini

Toroidal magnetic configurations are widely exploited in industry and scientific research, involving a vast spectrum of applications, such as thermonuclear fusion, particle detectors, SMES systems and medical devices. To properly design and analyse these s ...

Validation of the BEAMS3D neutral beam deposition model on Wendelstein 7-X

Jonathan Graves, David Pfefferlé, Mike Machielsen, Adnan Ali, Yu Gao

The neutral beam deposition model in the BEAMS3D code is validated against neutral beam attenuation data from Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X). A set of experimental discharges where the neutral beam injection system of W7-X was utilized were reconstructed. These di ...

RF plasma simulations using the TOMATOR 1D code: a case study for TCV helium ECRH plasmas

Stefano Coda

The 1-dimensional reaction-diffusion-convection code TOMATOR-1D describes plasma production by RF waves inside a tokamak using the Braginskii continuity and heat balance equations. The model simulates self-consistent radial density and temperature profiles ...

Nonlinear gyrokinetic PIC simulations in stellarators with the code EUTERPE

Laurent Villard, Eduardo Sanchez, Alberto Bottino

In this work, the first nonlinear particle-in-cell simulations carried out in a stellarator with the global gyrokinetic code EUTERPE using adiabatic electrons and realistic plasma parameters are reported. Several studies are conducted with the aim of enabl ...

MHD Stability and Energy Principle for Two-Dimensional Equilibria without Assumption of Nested Magnetic Surfaces

Laurent Villard, Andrei Martynov

Abandoning the assumption of nested magnetic surfaces in tokamak plasma expands the field of research and opens up new approaches for both theoretical and experimental plasma physics. The computer code KINX for calculations of the ideal MHD stability was d ...

Tokamak Edge Plasma Turbulence Interaction with Magnetic X-Point in 3D Global Simulations

Davide Galassi, Eric Serre

Turbulence in the edge plasma of a tokamak is a key actor in the determination of the confinement properties. The divertor configuration seems to be beneficial for confinement, suggesting an effect on turbulence of the particular magnetic geometry introduc ...

Modelling of non-linear edge harmonic oscillations and the effect of non-axisymmetric magnetic coils

Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Daniele Brunetti, Andreas Kleiner, Guillermo Bustos Ramirez

Quiescent H-mode (QH-mode) operation is highly desirable relative to the well known H- mode operation because it allows for high energy density in the core as well as potentially im- proved confinement of energy and particles. A feature of QH-mode is that ...
