Progress in the development of the ITER baseline scenario in TCV

Olivier Sauter, Stefano Coda, Benoît Labit, Alessandro Pau, Alexander Karpushov, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle, Oleg Krutkin, Cassandre Ekta Contré, Reinart Andreas J. Coosemans, Yann Camenen

Under the auspices of EUROfusion, the ITER baseline (IBL) scenario has been jointly investigated on AUG and TCV in the past years and this paper reports on the developments on TCV. It is found that the performance of TCV IBL is mainly limited by (neoclassi ...

Integrated modelling of neon impact on JET H-mode core plasmas

Yann Camenen, Michele Marin

Nuclear fusion reactor plasmas will need to exhaust a significant proportion of energy flux through radiative processes, to enable acceptable divertor loads. This can be obtained by line radiation from impurities, injected from the plasma edge. There are h ...

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 ...

Neural network surrogate of QuaLiKiz using JET experimental data to populate training space

Henri Weisen, Yann Camenen

Within integrated tokamak plasma modeling, turbulent transport codes are typically the computational bottleneck limiting their routine use outside of post-discharge analysis. Neural network (NN) surrogates have been used to accelerate these calculations wh ...

Isotope dependence of energy, momentum and particle confinement in tokamaks

Henri Weisen, Michele Marin, Yann Camenen, Javier García Hernández

The isotope dependence of plasma transport will have a significant impact on the performance of future D-T experiments in JET and ITER and eventually on the fusion gain and economics of future reactors. In preparation for future D-T operation on JET, dedic ...

RF sheath modeling of experimentally observed plasma surface interactions with the JET ITER-Like Antenna

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

Waves in the Ion Cyclotron Range of Frequencies (ICRF) enhance local Plasma-Surface Interactions (PSI) near the wave launchers and magnetically-connected objects via Radio-Frequency (RF) sheath rectification. ITER will use 20MW of ICRF power over long puls ...

Determination of tungsten sources in the JET-ILW divertor by spectroscopic imaging in the presence of a strong plasma continuum

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Duccio Testa, Jonnathan Cesar Hidalgo Acosta, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Li Shuai, Alberto Hernando de Castro

The identification of the sources of atomic tungsten and the measurement of their radiation distribution in front of all plasma-facing components has been performed in JET with the help of two digital cameras with the same two-dimensional view, equipped wi ...

Erosion, screening, and migration of tungsten in the JET divertor

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

The erosion of tungsten (W), induced by the bombardment of plasma and impurity particles, determines the lifetime of plasma-facing components as well as impacting on plasma performance by the influx of W into the confined region. The screening of W by the ...
