Interpretative 3D MHD modelling of deuterium SPI into a JET H-mode plasma

Umar Sheikh, Haomin Sun, Mengdi Kong, Cristian Sommariva

The pre-thermal quench (pre-TQ) dynamics of a pure deuterium ( D 2 ) shattered pellet injection (SPI) into a 3 MA / 7 MJ JET H-mode plasma is studied via 3D non-linear MHD modelling with the JOREK code. The interpretative modelling captures the overall evo ...

Plasma sputtering of biased electrodes in an oblique magnetic field

Stefano Alberti, Ivo Furno, Alessandro Geraldini

The surface erosion of biased electrodes immersed in a radio frequency (RF) plasma was investigated in oblique magnetic fields ranging from 0.1 T to 3.5 T. The plasma potential and density in the vicinity of the biased electrode have been measured using an ...

Voyager 2 plasma observations of the heliopause and interstellar medium

Paula Garcia Galindo

The solar wind blows outwards from the Sun and forms a bubble of solar material in the interstellar medium. The heliopause (HP) is the boundary that divides the hot tenuous solar wind plasma in the heliosheath from the colder, denser very local interstella ...

3D Laser Shock Peening – A new method for the 3D control of residual stresses in Selective Laser Melting

Roland Logé, Christian Leinenbach, Jamasp Jhabvala, Eric Boillat, Nikola Kalentics

This paper describes a hybrid additive manufacturing process – 3D Laser Shock Peening (3D LSP), based on the integration of Laser Shock Peening (LSP) with selective laser melting (SLM). The well-known tensile residual stresses (TRS) in the as – built (AB) ...

The Gaia mission

Stephan Morgenthaler, Shuangqing Liao

Gaia is a cornerstone mission in the science programme of the European Space Agency (ESA). The spacecraft construction was approved in 2006, following a study in which the original interferometric concept was changed to a direct-imaging approach. Both the ...
