The effect of triangularity on tokamak boundary plasma turbulence is investigated using global, flux-driven, three-dimensional, two-fluid simulations. The simulations show that negative triangularity (NT) stabilizes boundary plasma turbulence, and linear i ...

Determination of MHD mode structures using soft x-ray diagnostics in TCV

Benoît Labit, Alexander Karpushov, Matteo Vallar

A forward modeling technique is developed for determining the characteristic features of observed MHD modes from the line-of-sight data of the soft x-ray (SXR) diagnostics with 64 vertical lines-of-sight in theTokamak à Configuration Variable tokamak. Usin ...

Nonlinear simulations of Alfvén modes (AMs) driven by energetic particles (EPs) in the presence of turbulence are performed with the gyrokinetic particle-in-cell code ORB5. The AMs carry a heat flux, and consequently they nonlinearly modify the plasma temp ...

The turbulence characteristics of plasmas with internal transport barriers in the HL-2A tokamak are analyzed by means of linear gyrokinetic simulations. It is found that turbulence is dominated by the ion temperature gradient (ITG) mode together with large ...

A self-consistent model is presented for the simulation of a multi-component plasma in the tokamak boundary. A deuterium plasma is considered, with the plasma species that include electrons, deuterium atomic ions and deuterium molecular ions, while the deu ...

Effects of the parallel flow shear on the ITG-driven turbulent transport in tokamak plasmas

Yann Camenen, Javier García Hernández, Samuele Mazzi

The impact of the parallel flow shear on the tokamak plasma stability and turbulent transport driven by the ion temperature gradient (ITG) modes is analyzed by means of local gyrokinetic numerical analyses. It is shown that the parallel flow shear increase ...

Healing plasma current ramp-up by nitrogen seeding in the full tungsten environment of WEST

Olivier Sauter, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Simon Van Mulders

Achieving a successful plasma current ramp-up in a full tungsten tokamak can be challenging due to the large core radiation (and resulting low core temperature) that can be faced with this heavy metallic impurity if its relative concentration is too high. ...

Numerical study of delta-function current sheets arising from resonant magnetic perturbations

Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Yao Zhou

General three-dimensional toroidal ideal magnetohydrodynamic equilibria with a continuum of nested flux surfaces are susceptible to forming singular current sheets when resonant perturbations are applied. The presence of singular current sheets indicates t ...

Heavy impurity transport in the presence of 3D MHD ideal perturbations

Eduardo José Lascas Neto

Heavy impurity accumulation poses a problem for the operation of tokamaks featuring tungsten plasma facing components. Early termination of the plasma due to tungsten accumulation is often observed following long living 3D MHD perturbations. Such scenarios ...

Model-based optimization of magnetic control in the TCV tokamak: design and experiments

Federico Pesamosca

Thermonuclear controlled fusion is a promising answer to the current energy and climate issues, providing a safe carbon-free source of energy which is virtually inexhaustible. In magnetic confinement thermonuclear fusion based on tokamak reactors, hydrogen ...
