The negative triangularity tokamak: stability limits and prospects as a fusion energy system

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Laurent Villard, Andrei Martynov

The paper discusses edge stability, beta limits and power handling issues for negative triangularity tokamaks. The edge magnetohydrodynamic stability is the most crucial item for power handling. For the case of negative triangularity the edge stability pic ...

MHD equilibrium and stability of tokamaks and RFP systems with 3D helical cores

Olivier Sauter, Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper

Bifurcated magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibrium states are computed for ITER hybrid scenario and RFX-mod SHAx configurations with very flat or reversed core magnetic shear conditions. In the ITER studies, the minimum inverse rotational transform qmin is n ...

Measurement and modeling of three-dimensional equilibria in DIII-D

Holger Reimerdes

A detailed experiment-theory comparison reveals that linear ideal MHD theory is in quantitative agreement with external magnetic and internal soft x-ray measurements of the plasma response to externally applied non-axisymmetric fields over a broad range of ...

Overview of the Alcator C-Mod Research Program

Basil Duval, Yu Lin, John Wilson, Peng Xu

This paper summarizes highlights of research results from the Alcator C-Mod tokamak covering the period 2006-2008. Active flow drive, using mode converted ion cyclotron waves, has been observed for the first time in a tokamak plasma, using a mix of D and H ...

Quantum chaos? Genericity and nongenericity in the MHD spectrum of nonaxisymmetric toroidal plasmas

Ben McMillan

The eigenmode spectrum is a fundamental starting point for the analysis of plasma stability and the onset of turbulence, but the characterization of the spectrum even for the simplest plasma model, ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), is not fully understood. ...

Stability analysis of internal ideal modes in low-shear tokamaks

Jonathan Graves

The stability of internal, ideal modes in tokamaks with low magnetic shear in the plasma core is analyzed. For equilibria with large aspect ratio, a parabolic pressure profile and a flat q profile in the core, an exact solution of the ideal magnetohydrodyn ...

Ideal magnetohydrodynamic stability of the NCSX

Wilfred Anthony Cooper

The ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stability of the National Compact Stellarator Experiment (NCSX) is extensively analyzed using the most advanced three-dimensional MHD codes. It is shown that the NCSX is stable to finite-n MHD modes, including the vertic ...

Development of steady-state scenarios compatible with ITER-like wall conditions

Richard Pitts, Gilles Arnoux

A key issue for steady-state tokamak operation is to determine the edge conditions that are compatible both with good core confinement and with the power handling and plasma exhaust capabilities of the plasma facing components (PFCs) and divertor systems. ...

Ideal MHD stability of tokamak plasmas with moderate and low aspect ratio

The need of durable and abundant energy sources for future ages stimulates the studies of thermonuclear energy sources, based on hot plasma confinement by magnetic fields. The most developed concept of hot plasma trap is the tokamak, where the plasma confi ...

Anderson localization of ballooning modes, quantum chaos and the stability of compact quasiaxially symmetric stellarators

Wilfred Anthony Cooper

The radially local magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) ballooning stability of a compact, quasiaxially symmetric stellarator (QAS), is examined just above the ballooning beta limit with a method that can lead to estimates of global stability. Here MHD stability is a ...
