Publications related to Effects of 3D Ideal MHD Equilibrium Geometry on Neoclassical Properties in Tokamaks: Exploring Bootstrap Current and Impurity Accumulation

Overview of the RFX-mod contribution to the international Fusion Science Program

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Nicola Vianello, Leonardo Pigatto, Elena Gaio, Alberto Ferro

The RFX-mod device is operated both as a reversed field pinch (RFP), where advanced regimes featuring helical shape develop, and as a tokamak. Due to its flexibility, RFX-mod is contributing to the solution of key issues in the roadmap to ITER and DEMO, in ...

Simulation of bootstrap current in 2D and 3D ideal magnetic fields in Tokamaks

Olivier Sauter, Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Madhusudan Raghunathan, Michael Pedro

We aim to simulate the bootstrap current for a MAST-like spherical tokamak using two approaches for magnetic equilibria including externally caused 3D effects such as Resonant Magnetic Perturbations (RMPs), the effect of toroidal ripple, and intrinsic 3D e ...

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 ...

Impact of RMP magnetic field simulation models on fast ion losses

Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, David Pfefferlé, Cyril Misev

Two opposing approaches to include resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) in fast ion simulations are compared, one where the vacuum field caused by the RMP current coils is added to the axisymmetric MHD equilibrium, the other where the MHD equilibrium inc ...

Magnetohydrodynamic helical structures in nominally axisymmetric low-shear tokamak plasmas

Olivier Sauter, Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Holger Reimerdes, Antoine Pochelon, Federico David Halpern, Daniele Brunetti

The primary goal of hybrid scenarios in tokamaks is to enable high performance operation with large plasma currents whilst avoiding MHD instabilities. However, if a local minimum in the safety factor is allowed to approach unity, the energy required to ove ...

Extension of operation regimes and investigation of three-dimensional currentless plasmas in the Large Helical Device

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Terunobu Akiyama, Kenji Tanaka

The progress of physical understanding as well as parameter improvement of net-current-free helical plasma is reported for the Large Helical Device since the last Fusion Energy Conference in Daejeon in 2010. The second low-energy neutral beam line was inst ...

Edge Localized Mode Control in TCV

Jonathan Rossel

The Tokamak concept, based on magnetic confinement of a hydrogen plasma, is one of today's most promising paths to energy production by nuclear fusion. The experimental scenarios leading to the largest fusion rate are based on a high confinement plasma reg ...

Bifurcated Helical Core Equilibrium States in Tokamaks

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Holger Reimerdes, Benoît Labit, Antoine Pochelon, David Pfefferlé, Federico David Halpern, Daniele Brunetti, Jonathan Rossel, Mattia Albergante

Tokamaks with weak to moderate reversed central shear in which the minimum rotational transform

q_{min}

is in the neighbourhood of unity can trigger bifurcated MagnetoHydrodynamic (MHD) equilibrium states, one of which is similar to a saturated ideal ...

, ,

Bifurcated magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibrium states are computed for ITER hybrid scenario and RFX-mod SHAx configurations with very flat or reversed core magnetic shear conditions. In the ITER studies, the minimum inverse rotational transform qmin is n ...

Pedestal Characteristics and MHD Stability of H-Mode Plasmas in TCV

Andreas Pitzschke

The tokamak à configuration variable (TCV) is unique in its ability to create a variety of plasma shapes and to heat the electron population in high density regimes using microwave power at the third harmonic of the electron cyclotron frequency. In the fra ...
