The present work takes place within the general context of research related to the development of nuclear fusion energy. More specifically, this thesis is mainly a numerical and physical contribution to the understanding of turbulence and associated transp ...
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. ...
Wall conditioning techniques applicable in the presence of permanent toroidal magnetic field will be required for the operation of ITER, in particular for recovery from disruptions, vent and air leak, isotopic ratio control, recycling control and mitigatio ...
Experimental observations from a range of tokamaks show that neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs) are triggered at lower plasma pressure when the sawtooth period is longer. A multi-machine database from nine tokamaks has been established in order to extrapola ...
Divertor detachment is currently assumed to be a fundamental pre-requisite for the successful operation of future fusion reactors. Only by partially detaching the divertor in the regions of highest power flux density can high performance tokamak operation ...
The impact of edge localized modes (ELMs) carrying energies of up to 450 kJ on carbon erosion in the JET inner divertor is assessed by means of time resolved measurements using an in situ quartz microbalance diagnostic. The inner target erosion is strongly ...
The object of this review is to summarize the achievements of research on the Alcator C-Mod tokamak [Hutchinson et al., Phys. Plasmas 1, 1511 (1994) and Marmar, Fusion Sci. Technol. 51, 261 (2007)] and to place that research in the context of the quest for ...
There is an increasing body of evidence that the energy lost from diverted tokamak plasmas due to edge localized mode (ELM) activity may not be confined solely to deposition on divertor components. Plasma-facing surfaces in the main confinement chamber als ...
Almost since the first density profile measurements were made in the scrape-off layer (SOL) of the early tokamaks, it has been recognized that the rate of particle transport perpendicular to magnetic surfaces exceeds that expected on the basis of classical ...
In the tokamak scrape-off layer (SOL) the magnetic field lines are open, channeling particles and heat onto plasma facing components, and constraining their lifetime. Therefore, safe operation of future fusion reactors requires an understanding of SOL plas ...
