For the ITER project it is clear that steps have to be taken in order to avoid or mitigate type-I ELMs when operating in the standard H-mode scenario. Otherwise, divertor power loads induced by intrinsic ELMs will result in an intolerably short divertor li ...
Although ohmic H-modes have long been produced on the TCV tokamak and the effects of ELMs at the divertor targets studied in some detail [1], no attempt has yet been made to model the scrape-off layer (SOL) in these plasmas. This contribution describes det ...
The need of durable, economically acceptable and safe energy sources continues to stimulate studies in a field of thermonuclear fusion. The most successful solution for controlled magnetic fusion is the tokamak. The improvement of tokamak performance depen ...
The understanding and predictive capability of transport physics and plasma confinement is reviewed from the perspective of achieving reactor-scale burning plasmas in the ITER tokamak, for both core and edge plasma regions. Very considerable progress has b ...
With use of a multimachine pedestal database, essential issues for each regime of ELM types are investigated. They include (i) understanding and prediction of pedestal pressure during type I ELMs, a reference operation mode of a future tokamak reactor; (ii ...
In this paper, two simplified models of edge localized mode (ELM) power exhaust are developed, one based on the kinetic and the other on the fluid treatment of parallel losses. These models are found to capture many (though not all) of the salient features ...
Improvement of the spatial resolution of the TCV Thomson scattering system has permitted measurements of the pedestal height and gradient of electron density and temperature profiles near; the plasma boundary during ELMy H-mode. Measured profiles were fitt ...
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities can limit the performance and degrade the confinement of tokamak plasmas. The Tokamak à Configuration Variable (TCV), unique for its capability to produce a variety of poloidal plasma shapes, has been used to analyse ...
The first toroidal rotation measurements in TCV ohmic L-mode plasmas with no external momentum injection are presented. The toroidal velocity profile of the fully stripped carbon species is measured by active Charge eXchange Recombination Spectroscopy with ...
A new understanding of edge localized modes (ELMs) in tokamak discharges is emerging (Snyder P B et al 2002 Phys. Plasmas 9 2037), in which the ELM is an essentially ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instability and the ELM severity is determined by the radi ...
