Physical insights from the aspect ratio dependence of turbulence in negative triangularity plasmas

In this work, we study the impact of aspect ratio A = R 0 / r (the ratio of major radius R 0 to minor radius r) on the confinement benefits of negative triangularity (NT) plasma shaping. We use high-fidelity flux tube gyrokinetic GENE simulations and consi ...

Anisotropic Adaptive Finite Elements for a p-Laplacian Problem

Marco Picasso, Paride Passelli

The p-Laplacian problem -del & sdot; ((mu + |del u|(p-2))del u) = f is considered, where mu is a given positive number. An anisotropic a posteriori residual-based error estimator is presented. The error estimator is shown to be equivalent, up to higher ord ...

Re-design of EU DEMO with a low aspect ratio

Hartmut Zohm

The design point that had been chosen for EU DEMO in 2016 is reviewed here and a modification is proposed with a lower aspect ratio. Previously the same aspect ratio, A, was chosen for EU DEMO as in major tokamak experiments including ITER (A = 3.1), and, ...

Adaptive Finite Elements with Large Aspect Ratio. Application to Aluminium Electrolysis

Paride Passelli

The goal of this work is to use anisotropic adaptive finite elements for the numerical simulation of aluminium electrolysis. The anisotropic adaptive criteria are based on a posteriori error estimates derived for simplified problems. First, we consider an ...

Shafranov shift correction to the Furth-Yoshikawa scaling of tokamak adiabatic compression

Olivier Sauter

In 1970, Furth and Yoshikawa (1970 Phys. Fluids 13 2593-6) introduced the scalings of adiabatic plasma compression. Basically, if the shape of the external plasma boundary and the aspect ratio are preserved during the compression, then the density, kinetic ...

Swirling against the forcing: Evidence of stable counterdirected sloshing waves in orbital-shaken reservoirs

François Gallaire, Alessandro Bongarzone, Alice Evelyne Julienne Marcotte

We investigate the response of the free liquid surface in a partially filled circular cylindrical container undergoing a planar elliptic and time-periodic orbit while maintaining fixed its orientation. For small forcing amplitudes and deep liquid layers, w ...

Semiconductor-based device architectures in multimaterial fibers

William Nicolas Duncan Esposito

Semiconductor materials have given rise to today's digital technology and consumer electronics. Widespread adoption is closely linked to the ability to process and integrate them in devices at scale. Where flexibility and large surfaces are required, such ...

Amorphous Silicon Based Microchannel Plates for Time-of-Flight Positron Emission Tomography

Samira Alexandra Frey

Microchannel plates fabricated from hydrogenated amorphous silicon (AMCPs) are a promising alternative to conventional lead glass microchannel plates. Their main advantages lie in their cheaper and more flexible fabrication processes, allowing for adaptabl ...

The thermally activated deformation behaviour of single-crystalline microcast aluminium wires

Andreas Mortensen, Léa Deillon, Suzanne Godelieve Alphonsine Verheyden

A microcasting process is used to produce high aspect ratio ( > 30) monocrystalline pure aluminium wires with a diameter between 14 and 115 mu m. The role of thermal activation in the plastic deformation of these microwires is measured by means of (single) ...
