Scenario optimization for the tokamak ramp-down phase in RAPTOR. Part B: safe termination of DEMO plasmas

Olivier Sauter, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Simon Van Mulders, Cassandre Ekta Contré, Emiliano Fable, Anna Teplukhina

An optimized plasma current ramp-down strategy is critical for safe and fast termination of plasma discharges in a tokamak demonstration fusion reactor (DEMO), both in planned and emergency scenarios, avoiding plasma disruptions and excessive heat loads to ...

Small-scale dynamo with finite correlation times

Jennifer Waltraud Schober

Fluctuation dynamos occur in most turbulent plasmas in astrophysics and are the prime candidates for amplifying and maintaining cosmic magnetic fields. A few analytical models exist to describe their behavior, but they are based on simplifying assumptions. ...

Solar Wind Protons in the Diamagnetic Cavity at Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

Lucie Anemone Scharré

The plasma environment at a comet can be divided into different regions with distinct plasma characteristics. Two such regions are the solar wind ion cavity, which refers to the part of the outer coma that does not contain any solar wind ions anymore; and ...

Production of a Chiral Magnetic Anomaly with Emerging Turbulence and Mean-Field Dynamo Action

Jennifer Waltraud Schober

In relativistic magnetized plasmas, asymmetry in the number densities of left-and right-handed fermions, i.e., a nonzero chiral chemical potential mu(5), leads to an electric current along the magnetic field. This causes a chiral dynamo instability for a u ...

Parallel convection and E × B drifts in the TCV snowflake divertor and their effects on target heat-fluxes

Basil Duval, Holger Reimerdes, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Roberto Maurizio, Davide Galassi, Cedric Kar-Wai Tsui, Mirko Wensing

Parallel convection and E × B drifts act together to redistribute heat between the strike-points mechanisms is enhanced near the secondary X-point and is shown to dominate over heat in the low field side snowflake minus (LFS SF−). The cumulative heat conve ...

Development of a real-time algorithm for detection of the divertor detachment radiation front using multi-spectral imaging

Christian Gabriel Theiler, Artur Perek, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh, Wouter Vijvers

In this paper we present a novel algorithm to extract the optical plasma boundary and radiation front for detached divertor plasmas. We show that reliable detection of the divertor leg and radiation front is possible using lightweight image processing tool ...

Characterizing time intermittency in non-diffusive fast ion transport through plasma turbulence

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Oulfa Chellaï, Fabian Manke

Turbulent fast ion transport has been investigated in astrophisycal, laboratory and fusion plasmas. When gyro- and drift-averaging across plasma structures manifest as non-markovian and non-local effects, this results in generally non-diffusive transport. ...

Modeling of TAE mode excitation with an antenna in realistic X-point geometry

Ambrogio Fasoli, Duccio Testa

Experimentally, it is observed that Toroidal Alfven Eigenmodes (TAEs) are difficult to excite with an external antenna when the plasma is in X-point geometry. Here, the effect of the X-point geometry on the efficiency of the TAE excitation with the externa ...

Voyager 2 plasma observations of the heliopause and interstellar medium

Paula Garcia Galindo

The solar wind blows outwards from the Sun and forms a bubble of solar material in the interstellar medium. The heliopause (HP) is the boundary that divides the hot tenuous solar wind plasma in the heliosheath from the colder, denser very local interstella ...

A wall-aligned grid generator for non-linear simulations of MHD instabilities in tokamak plasmas

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Alessandro Pau, Henri Weisen

Block-structured mesh generation techniques have been well addressed in the CFD community for automobile and aerospace studies, and their applicability to magnetic fusion is highly relevant, due to the complexity of the plasma-facing wall structures inside ...
