Intrinsic toroidal rotation in the scrape-off layer of tokamaks

Paolo Ricci, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Sébastien Jolliet, Federico David Halpern, Annamaria Mosetto

The origin and nature of intrinsic toroidal plasma rotation in the scrape-off-layer (SOL) of tokamaks is investigated both analytically and through numerical simulations. It is shown that the equilibrium poloidal E x B flow, the sheath physics, and the pre ...

Mechanisms of Fano Resonances in Coupled Plasmonic Systems

Olivier Martin, Andrea Lovera, Benjamin Gallinet

Fano resonances in hybridized systems formed from the interaction of bright modes only are reported. Despite precedent works, we demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that Fano resonances can be obtained by destructive interference between two brigh ...

Numerical approximation of the unsteady Navier-Stokes equations with an application to the flow past a square cylinder

Francesco Casalegno

The goal of this project is to numerically solve the Navier-Stokes equations by using different numerical methods with particular emphasis on solving the problem of the flow past a square cylinder. In particular, we use the finite element method based on P ...

Influence of numerical schemes on statistical properties of computed charged particle trajectories in turbulent electromagnetic fields

A class of numerical schemes is developed for the study of charged particle transport in complex stationary electromagnetic fields and tested for fields obtained from a numerical solution of the magneto-hydrodynamic equation. The performances of these sche ...

Numerical simulation of a sailing boat

Matteo Lombardi

In this work, various aspects concerning the numerical simulation of a sailing boat are investigated. The attention is focused on simulation of the free-surface, the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) between wind and sails, and the dynamics of the whole bo ...

System size effects on gyrokinetic turbulence

Laurent Villard, Alberto Bottino, Sébastien Jolliet, Ben McMillan, Xavier Lapillonne

The scaling of turbulence-driven heat transport with system size in magnetically confined plasmas is reexamined using first-principles based numerical simulations. Two very different numerical methods are applied to this problem, in order to resolve a long ...

A Level Set Method Coupled With a Volume of Fluid Method for Modeling of Gas-Liquid Interface in Bubbly Flow

John Richard Thome, Bogdan Alexandru Nichita, Iztok Zun

This paper describes the implementation of a 3D parallel and Cartesian level set (LS) method coupled with a volume of fluid (VOF) method into the commercial CFD code FLUENT for modeling the gas-liquid interface in bubbly flow. Both level set and volume of ...

Collisional damping of zonal flows due to finite Larmor radius effects

Paolo Ricci

The collisional damping of seeded E X B zonal flows on the ion Larmor radius scale is studied using a gyrokinetic model. The focus is on flow damping due to finite Larmor radius effects, which cause a nu(parallel to)/nu anisotropy of the ion distribution f ...

Polariton parametric photoluminescence in spatially inhomogeneous systems

Vincenzo Savona, Davide Sarchi

A general theory of polariton parametric photoluminescence in spatially inhomogeneous systems is developed. The quantum Langevin equations are solved in a generalized Bogoliubov-de Gennes approximation. We apply the formalism to the specific case of a diso ...
