Re-design of EU DEMO with a low aspect ratio

Hartmut Zohm

The design point that had been chosen for EU DEMO in 2016 is reviewed here and a modification is proposed with a lower aspect ratio. Previously the same aspect ratio, A, was chosen for EU DEMO as in major tokamak experiments including ITER (A = 3.1), and, ...

We study the magneto-rotational instability (MRI) dynamo in a geometrically thin disc (H/R < 1) using stratified zero net (vertical) flux shearing box simulations. We find that mean fields and electromotive forces (EMFs) oscillate with a primary frequency ...

Equilibrium pressure limits in stellarators

Antoine Baillod

This thesis delves into the potential of magnetic fusion energy, and in particular focuses on the stellarator concept. Stellarators use external coils to produce 3-dimensional (3D) magnetic fields that confine a thermonuclear plasma in a topologically toro ...

Modelling of nonneutral plasmas trapped by electric and magnetic fields relevant to gyrotron electron guns

Guillaume Michel Le Bars

Gyrotrons are a class of high-power vacuum-electronics microwave sources, which are envisioned to play an important role in the domain of magnetically confined fusion plasmas. Indeed, only gyrotrons are capable of producing continuous electromagnetic waves ...

Intergrade Joints for Nb3Sn cables of high magnetic field magnets

Vincenzo D'Auria

The objective of this thesis is the development of high-field and high-current joints between Nb3Sn cables for superconducting coils. The main fields of application are high energy physics (HEP) and thermonuclear fusion. In this thesis, the focus is on Win ...

EPFL2022

A novel surrogate model based on the Grassmannian diffusion maps (GDMaps) and utilizing geometric harmonics (GH) is developed for predicting the response of complex physical phenomena. The method utilizes GDMaps to obtain a low-dimensional representation o ...

Drift-related transport and plasma-neutral interaction in the TCV divertor

Mirko Wensing

Thermonuclear fusion of light atoms is the primary energy source of stars, such as our Sun, that led to the emergence of life on Earth. However, its economic exploitation as a virtually unlimited and clean energy source is yet to be developed. One of the m ...

Investigating Scrape-Off Layer transport in alternative divertor geometries on the TCV tokamak

Roberto Maurizio

Thermonuclear fusion is a potentially clean and limitless energy source that can substantially change the current global electricity generation mix, which is highly dependent on limited fossil fuels. This thesis contributes to the development of fusion en ...

X-point potential well formation in diverted tokamaks with unfavorable magnetic field direction

Basil Duval, Holger Reimerdes, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Marco Wischmeier, Mirko Wensing

Fluid simulations of the boundary of fusion plasmas predict the formation of an electric potential well in the vicinity of the X-point in detached divertor conditions with Bt in the unfavorable direction for H-mode access. This potential well arises when t ...

Rapid 3-D Magnetic Integral Field Computation of Current-Carrying Finite Arc Segments With Rectangular Cross Section

Basile Kawkabani, Frédéric Michael Maurer

The computation of 3-D magnetic fields is a demanding task in the analysis of electrical machines and other electromagnetic devices. In this context, integral field calculation provides a smooth solution, high precision and resolution, "on-demand"-calculat ...
