RF plasma simulations using the TOMATOR 1D code: a case study for TCV helium ECRH plasmas

Stefano Coda

The 1-dimensional reaction-diffusion-convection code TOMATOR-1D describes plasma production by RF waves inside a tokamak using the Braginskii continuity and heat balance equations. The model simulates self-consistent radial density and temperature profiles ...

Validation of the BEAMS3D neutral beam deposition model on Wendelstein 7-X

Jonathan Graves, David Pfefferlé, Mike Machielsen

The neutral beam deposition model in the BEAMS3D code is validated against neutral beam attenuation data from Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X). A set of experimental discharges where the neutral beam injection system of W7-X was utilized were reconstructed. These di ...

Energy and orientation independence of the channel branching in Ne* + ND3 chemi-ionisation

Andreas Osterwalder, Sean Dennis Steven Gordon

Collisions of excited neon atoms with ammonia molecules can lead to two reaction processes, dissociative ionisation and Penning ionisation. Both processes result in the ionisation of the ammonia molecule and redistribution of the electronic energy into the ...

Head losses and influence length of sharp-edged and rounded orifices under steady flow conditions

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Nicolas Jean François Pascal Ghislain Adam

Orifices have been largely studied either for flow metering or for producing head losses. An orifice which is used as a flow meter is well defined in ISO 5167. All the geometrical parameters are defined to obtain discharges as accurate as possible. However ...
