Ohmic H-mode discharges in the Tokamak Configuration Variable (TCV) have recently been heated for the first time by electron cyclotron (EC) waves at the 3rd harmonic (X3) at full power. New edge localized mode (ELM) behaviour has been found, with larger am ...
The Tokamak à Configuration Variable (TCV) programme is based on flexible plasma shaping capabilities together with a powerful electron cyclotron wave (ECW) additional heating for studies of stability, confinement, transport, control and power exhaust. In ...
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 ...
The transport of particles in magnetically confined plasmas is of great importance for the development of fusion energy. It will determine techniques for fuelling, for controlling impurity concentrations and for the removal of the alpha particles produced ...
Stability limits against external kink modes driven by large current density and pressure gradient values in the pedestal region are investigated for tokamak plasmas with separatrix. Stability diagrams for modes with different toroidal wave numbers under v ...
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities and plasma rotation have various impacts on particle and thermal transport in toroidal plasmas. MHD instabilities degrade the confinement, limit the maximum achievable plasma pressure, and can lead to plasma disrupti ...
During a recent reversed toroidal field (B-T) campaign at the Joint European Torus (JET), experiments were performed to investigate the effect on sawteeth of neutral beam injection (NBI)-driven toroidal plasma rotation counter to the direction of the toroi ...
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 ...
Experimental observations in stationary ECRH discharges in TCV show that additional heating has a strong effect on the electron density profile. In the absence of MHD activity or strong internal transport barriers, additional electron heating generally lea ...
The modification of the stability and the behaviour of core MHD with local electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) is presented. Starting from the innermost resonant surface, the q = 1 surface, the stability and hence the sawtooth period and the size of sa ...
