Pedestal Structure and Energy Confinement Studies on TCV

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Patrick Blanchard, Benoît Labit, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle, Umar Sheikh, Cedric Kar-Wai Tsui

High external gas injection rates are foreseen for future devices to reduce divertor heat loads and this can influence pedestal stability. Fusion yield has been estimated to vary as strongly as

{T}_{e,{\rm{ped}}}^{2}

Mitigation of divertor heat loads by strike point sweeping in high power JET discharges

Jonathan Graves

Deliberate periodic movement (sweeping) of the high heat flux divertor strike lines in tokamak plasmas can be used to manage the heat fluxes experienced by exhaust handling plasma facing components, by spreading the heat loads over a larger surface area. S ...

Infrared Thermography of Divertor ELM Heat Loads on TCV

János Márki

Edge Localised Mode (ELM)-induced heat loads, in particular divertor heat loads present one of the main challenges in adopting nuclear fusion as an industrial-scale energy source. At present, the type-I ELMy plasma regime is chosen as the most suitable ope ...

Exploitation of a general-coordinate guiding centre code for the redistribution of fast ions in deformed hybrid tokamak equilibria

Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, David Pfefferlé

Self-consistent fast ion distributions are usually obtained using a code that solves the guiding-centre equations, with an appropriate fast ion source (e.g. NBI pinis) and sink (e.g. collision operators). Straight field-line coordinate systems, such as Boo ...

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 ...

SOLPS modelling of ELMing H-mode

Barbora Bruant Gulejová

Numerical simulation of the tokamak scrape-off layer (SOL) is an essential tool for the prediction of the conditions to be expected in future fusion reactors such as the ITER project, now under construction in Southern France. One particularly important is ...

Particle transport in JET and TCV H-mode plasmas

Mikhail Maslov

Understanding particle transport physics is of great importance for magnetically confined plasma devices and for the development of thermonuclear fusion power for energy production. From the beginnings of fusion research, more than half a century ago, the ...

Modeling and control of the current density profile in tokamaks and its relation to electron transport

Costanza Zucca

The current density in tokamak plasmas strongly affects transport phenomena, therefore its understanding and control represent a crucial challenge for controlled thermonuclear fusion. Within the vast framework of tokamak studies, three topics have been tac ...

Development of steady-state scenarios compatible with ITER-like wall conditions

Richard Pitts, Gilles Arnoux

A key issue for steady-state tokamak operation is to determine the edge conditions that are compatible both with good core confinement and with the power handling and plasma exhaust capabilities of the plasma facing components (PFCs) and divertor systems. ...
