Analytical and numerical work is used in tandem to address the problem of turbulent transport of energetic ions in magnetized plasmas. It is shown that orbit averaging is not valid under rather generic conditions, and that perpendicular decorrelation effec ...
The Helimak experiment produces a toroidal plasma with a helical magnetic field. A simulation-experiment comparison of turbulence in this device is presented, focusing on parameter regimes in which the turbulence is dominated by interchange modes with k(pa ...
The Tokamak à configuration variable (TCV) features the highest electron cyclotron wave power density available to resonantly heat (ECRH) the electrons and to drive noninductive currents in a fusion grade plasma (ECCD). In more than 15 years of exploitatio ...
Three-dimensional fluid simulations are performed in a simple magnetized toroidal plasma, in which vertical and toroidal magnetic fields create helicoidal magnetic field lines that terminate on the torus vessel. The simulations are carried out in the three ...
We present the combination of the numerical 3D magnetic field simulation of SWISSCASE, the new 10 GHz ECR ion source at the University of Bern in Switzerland, and the experimental X-ray Bremsstrahlung measurement of the same ion source, to determine the ho ...
Two-dimensional fluid simulations of a simple magnetized torus are presented, in which the vertical and toroidal components of the magnetic field create helicoidal field lines that terminate on the upper and lower walls of the plasma chamber. The simulatio ...
We derive equations of motion for the dynamics of anisotropic particles directly from the dissipative Vlasov kinetic equations, with the dissipation given by the double-bracket approach (double-bracket Vlasov, or DBV). The moments of the DBV equation lead ...
The intermittent transport in the JET scrape-off layer has been investigated using a multi-pin reciprocating Langmuir probe system. It was found that radial transport in the far-SOL is not continuous but occurs in short bursts observed most often at the be ...
This thesis addresses the interaction of a supra-thermal ion beam with turbulence in the simple magnetized toroidal plasma of TORPEX. The first part of the thesis deals with the ohmic assisted discharges on TORPEX. The aim of these discharges is the invest ...
The radial propagation of blobs generated from plasma instabilities is investigated in an open magnetic field line configuration. Blob cross-field velocities and sizes are obtained from internal probe measurements using pattern recognition. By varying the ...
