The control and confinement of fusion plasmas are currently limited by a lack of understanding of the physical mechanisms behind the evolution of the turbulent transport experienced by particles and energy. In-situ investigations of plasma turbulence in fu ...
The plasma response to resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) in ASDEX Upgrade is modeled with the non-linear resistive MHD code JOREK, using input profiles that match those of the experiments as closely as possible. The RMP configuration for which edge lo ...
A new version of the MHD_NX code, that computes the ideal MHD stability of helically symmetric equilibria with arbitrary topology of magnetic surfaces, was applied to the investigation of equilibrium magnetic islands in tokamak-like conditions. Any helical ...
Similarly to neutral fluids, plasmas often exhibit turbulent behavior. Turbulence in plasmas is usually more complex than in neutral fluids due to long range interactions via electric and magnetic fields, and kinetic effects. It gives rise to many interest ...
The tokamak à configuration variable (TCV) is unique in its ability to create a variety of plasma shapes and to heat the electron population in high density regimes using microwave power at the third harmonic of the electron cyclotron frequency. In the fra ...
In the following theoretical and numerically oriented work, a number of findings have been assembled. The newly devised VENUS-LEVIS code, designed to accurately solve the motion of energetic particles in the presence of 3D magnetic fields, relies on a non- ...
The Tokamak concept, based on magnetic confinement of a hydrogen plasma, is one of today's most promising paths to energy production by nuclear fusion. The experimental scenarios leading to the largest fusion rate are based on a high confinement plasma reg ...
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 ...
Axially symmetric m = 0 magnetic islands are studied in a cylindrical plasma with longitudinal magnetic field reversal. Applying 2D deformation on the equilibrium plasma boundary results in the breaking of magnetic surfaces topology into chain of islands. ...
The Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak (MAST) programme is strongly focused on addressing key physics issues in preparation
for operation of ITER as well as providing solutions for DEMO design choices. In this regard, MAST has provided key
results in unders ...
