Free-boundary MRxMHD equilibrium calculations using the stepped-pressure equilibrium code

Joaquim Loizu Cisquella

The stepped-pressure equilibrium code (SPEC) (Hudson et al 2012 Phys. Plasmas 19, 112 502) is extended to enable free-boundary multi-region relaxed magnetohydrodynamic (MRxMHD) equilibrium calculations. The vacuum field surrounding the plasma inside an arb ...

Generalized and Reduced Analytical Formulation for Ultra-Fast 3-D Field and Vector Potential Calculation From Arch-Shaped Axially Magnetized Bodies in Electrical Machines

Basile Kawkabani, Frédéric Michael Maurer

Arch-shaped axially magnetized bodies tend to appear frequently in electrical machine analysis such as in the overhang parts of the classical radial-flux machines as well as in the main parts of the axial-flux machines. The calculation of the 3-D fields or ...

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 ...

Exploring drift effects in TCV single-null plasmas with the UEDGE code

Holger Reimerdes, Benoît Labit, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Roberto Maurizio

This paper explores the effects of particle drifts across the magnetic field in TCV single-null plasmas using the two-dimensional edge plasma transport code UEDGE. In particular, it aims to reproduce a double-peaked density target profile, a feature which ...

Implementation of drift velocities and currents in SOLEDGE2D-EIRENE

Davide Galassi, Nicolas Mellet, Eric Serre

In order to improve cross-field transport description, drifts and currents have been implemented in SOLEDGE2D-EIRENE. The derivation of an equation for the electric potential is recalled. The resolution of current equation is tested in a simple slab case. ...

Field Quality Dependence on Vacuum Chamber Materials in Quadrupole Magnets

Liesbeth Maria L Vanherpe

In accelerator magnet design, important criteria are the magnetic field distribution and the magnetic field quality. Accelerator magnets are usually designed for the ideal case in which no magnetic material is present in the field region. In practice, howe ...

The impact of the Boussinesq approximation on plasma turbulence in the scrape-off layer

Paolo Ricci, Paola Paruta, Federico David Halpern, Fabio Riva, Christoph Wersal, Baptiste Jimmy Frei, Félix Benedito Clément Musil, Morgan Siffert

Plasma turbulence in the tokamak scrape-off layer (SOL) region, where magnetic field lines are open and intersect the reactor inner walls, determines the heat loads on the limiter or divertor targets. This is one of the most crucial issues on the way towar ...

Electron trapping mechanisms in magnetron injection guns

Jean-Philippe Hogge, Ioannis Pagonakis, Jiahuan Zhang, Konstantinos Avramidis

A key parameter for the gyrotron operation and efficiency is the presence of trapped electrons. Two electron trapping mechanisms can take place in gyrotrons: (i) the adiabatic trap and (ii) the magnetic potential well. Their influence on the gyrotron opera ...
