Thermonuclear fusion is a potentially clean and limitless energy source that can substantially change the current global electricity generation mix, which is highly dependent on limited fossil fuels.
This thesis contributes to the development of fusion en ...
This thesis delves into the potential of magnetic fusion energy, and in particular focuses on the stellarator concept. Stellarators use external coils to produce 3-dimensional (3D) magnetic fields that confine a thermonuclear plasma in a topologically toro ...
Uniform magnetic fields are desired in a wide range of applications. The most known device achieving such a purpose is the pair of Helmholtz coils. It consists of two identical circular coils, with their main axis aligned and placed at a distance equal to ...
Thermonuclear fusion of light atoms is the primary energy source of stars, such as our Sun, that led to the emergence of life on Earth. However, its economic exploitation as a virtually unlimited and clean energy source is yet to be developed. One of the m ...
Toroidal magnetic configurations are widely exploited in industry and scientific research, involving a vast spectrum of applications, such as thermonuclear fusion, particle detectors, SMES systems and medical devices. To properly design and analyse these s ...
The 1-dimensional reaction-diffusion-convection code TOMATOR-1D describes plasma production by RF waves inside a tokamak using the Braginskii continuity and heat balance equations. The model simulates self-consistent radial density and temperature profiles ...
Abandoning the assumption of nested magnetic surfaces in tokamak plasma expands the field of research and opens up new approaches for both theoretical and experimental plasma physics. The computer code KINX for calculations of the ideal MHD stability was d ...
The excitation of toroidicity-induced Alfven eigenmodes (TAEs) using prescribed external electromagnetic perturbations (hereafter 'antenna') acting on a confined toroidal plasma, as well as its nonlinear couplings to other modes in the system, is studied. ...
A non-field aligned coordinate system was recently implemented in GBS, a three-dimensional drift-reduced Braginskii fluid code to simulate turbulence in the plasma periphery of tokamaks. This avoids the singularity present in field-aligned coordinates at t ...
While it is important to design stellarators with high magnetohydrodynamic stability β-limit, it is also crucial to ensure that good magnetic surfaces exist in a large range of β values. As β increases, pressure-driven currents perturb the vacuum magnetic ...
