Towards understanding reactor relevant tokamak pedestals

Jonathan Graves, Daniele Brunetti, Ben McMillan

The physics of the tokamak pedestal is still not fully understood, for example there is no fully predictive model for the pedestal height and width. However, the pedestal is key in determining the fusion power for a given scenario. If we can improve our un ...

Combined use of airborne laser scanning and hyperspectral imaging for forest inventories

Matthew Josef Parkan

The thesis presented hereby proposes as a general objective the estimation of forest inventory parameters (e.g. trunk location, height, basal area, crown area, species, etc..) from the combination of Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) and Hyperspectal Imaging ( ...

PLASMA SHAPE AND FUELING DEPENDENCE ON THE SMALL ELMS REGIME IN TCV AND AUG

Benoît Labit, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle, Umar Sheikh, Pedro Andres Molina Cabrera, Roberto Maurizio

A series of experiments has been conducted at AUG and TCV to disentangle the role of fueling, plasma triangularity and closeness to a double null (DN) configuration for the onset of the small ELM regime. At AUG, the role of the SOL density has been revisit ...

Heat flux analysis of Type-I ELM impact on a sloped, protruding surface in the JET bulk tungsten divertor

Tungsten (W) melting due to transient power loads, for example those delivered by edge localised modes (ELMs), is a major concern for next step fusion devices. A series of experiments has been performed on JET to investigate the dynamics of Type-I ELM-indu ...

Real-time control of ELM and sawtooth frequencies: similarities and differences

Jonathan Graves

ELMs and Sawteeth, located in different parts of the plasma, are similar from a control engineering point of view. Both manifest themselves through quiescent periods interrupted by periodic collapses. For both, large collapses, following long quiescent per ...
