The present study aims to reduce the outer radius of the central solenoid (CS) with respect to its nominal size specified by EUROfusion for a maintained CS magnetic flux. A reduced outer CS radius would allow the reduction of the overall size and cost of t ...
A region of steep plasma gradients, the so-called "narrow-feature," has been found in the near scrape-off layer (SOL) of inner-wall limited (IWL) discharges. Dedicated IWL discharges were carried out in Alcator C-Mod [Marmar et al., Nucl. Fusion 55, 104020 ...
L to H transition studies at JET have revealed an n = 0, m = 1 magnetic oscillation starting immediately at the L to H transition (called M-mode for brevity). While the magnetic oscillation is present a weak ELM-less H-mode regime is obtained, with a clear ...
Multi-microchannel evaporators with flow boiling, used for cooling high heat flux devices, usually experience transient heat loads in practical applications. These transient processes may cause failure of devices due to a thermal excursion or poor local co ...
The design of the European DEMO, i.e., the future fusion tokamak planned after ITER, is being developed under the coordination of the EUROfusion Consortium. This paper reports the design optimization of the toroidal field (TF) winding pack and its correspo ...

In magnetic fusion devices, the radial transport of heat and particle largely exceeds predictions based on collisional processes. This is widely understood as a consequence of small-scale turbulence which results from the nonlinear behaviour of so-called m ...
