Multi-machine benchmark of the self-consistent 1D scrape-off layer model DIV1D from stagnation point to target with SOLPS-ITER

This paper extends a 1D dynamic physics-based model of the scrape-off layer (SOL) plasma, DIV1D, to include the core SOL and possibly a second target. The extended model is benchmarked on 1D mapped SOLPS-ITER simulations to find input settings for DIV1D th ...

Gyrokinetic simulation of low-n Alfvenic modes in tokamak HL-2A plasmas

Javier García Hernández, Samuele Mazzi

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 ...

High concentration of black carbon in northern Pakistan: Characteristics, source apportionment and emission source regions

Arindam Roy

Atmospheric Black Carbon (BC) is one of the absorbing components of solar radiation which potentially affects human health and regional climate. In the current study, BC mass concentrations were regularly observed for pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons using ...

Nonlinear inviscid damping and shear-buoyancy instability in the two-dimensional Boussinesq equations

Michele Dolce

We investigate the long-time properties of the two-dimensional inviscid Boussinesq equations near a stably stratified Couette flow, for an initial Gevrey perturbation of size & epsilon;. Under the classical Miles-Howard stability condition on the Richardso ...

Influence of macular pigment on the sensitivity to discomfort glare from daylight

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Sneha Jain

Understanding the factors that influence the human perception of glare is necessary to properly address glare risks in buildings and achieve comfortable visual environments, especially in the workplace. Yet large inter-individual variabilities in glare per ...

VO2:Ge based thermochromic solar absorber coatings

Anna Krammer, Josef Andreas Schuler

Flat plate solar collectors face the problem of overheating and the ensuing high thermal stresses and general collector damage lead to high maintenance costs. To address this challenge, absorber coatings with a passive optical switch at critically high ope ...

Virtual reality to assess visual attraction and perceived interest to daylit scene variations

Marilyne Andersen, Caroline Karmann, Kynthia Chamilothori, Bahar Aydemir

Façades and light pattern composition have been shown to influence the spatial experience and physiological responses of humans [1,2]. The present study examines the effect of sunlight penetration and window size on fixations to the floor of the scene, and ...

The Alfvenic nature of chromospheric swirls

Aleksi Antoine Bossart, Andrea Francesco Battaglia

Context. Observations show that small-scale vortical plasma motions are ubiquitous in the quiet solar atmosphere. They have received increasing attention in recent years because they are a viable candidate mechanism for the heating of the outer solar atmos ...

Investigation of the density shoulder formation by using self-consistent simulations of plasma turbulence and neutral kinetic dynamics

Paolo Ricci, Davide Mancini, Nicola Vianello, Maurizio Giacomin

Simulations of plasma turbulence in a lower single-null magnetic configurations are presented. The plasma dynamics is modelled by the drift-reduced two-fluid Braginskii equations that are coupled with a kinetic model for a single neutral species that consi ...

X-point potential well formation in diverted tokamaks with unfavorable magnetic field direction

Basil Duval, Holger Reimerdes, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Marco Wischmeier, Mirko Wensing

Fluid simulations of the boundary of fusion plasmas predict the formation of an electric potential well in the vicinity of the X-point in detached divertor conditions with Bt in the unfavorable direction for H-mode access. This potential well arises when t ...
