Bifurcated Helical Core Equilibrium States in Tokamaks

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Holger Reimerdes, Benoît Labit, Antoine Pochelon, David Pfefferlé, Federico David Halpern, Daniele Brunetti, Jonathan Rossel, Mattia Albergante

Tokamaks with weak to moderate reversed central shear in which the minimum rotational transform

q_{min}

is in the neighbourhood of unity can trigger bifurcated MagnetoHydrodynamic (MHD) equilibrium states, one of which is similar to a saturated ideal ...

Saturated ideak kink/peeling formations described as three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic tokamak equilibrium states

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Holger Reimerdes, Laurie Porte, Trach-Minh Tran, David Pfefferlé, Jonathan Marc Philippe Faustin, Hamish William Patten, Daniele Brunetti, Madhusudan Raghunathan, Andreas Kleiner

Free boundary magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium states with spontaneous three dimensional deformations of the plasma-vacuum interface are computed for the first time. The structures obtained have the appearance of saturated ideal external kink/peeling modes. ...

Recurrence Plots for Dynamic Analysis of Type-I ELMs at JET With a Carbon Wall

Yiming Li, Olivier Sauter, Richard Pitts, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Henri Weisen, Yann Camenen, Jan Horacek, Javier García Hernández, Duccio Testa, Marco Wischmeier, Nicola Vianello, Mikhail Maslov, Patrick Blanchard, Alessandro Pau, Davide Galassi, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Antonio José Pereira de Figueiredo, Cristian Sommariva, Jonathan Graves, Emiliano Fable, Francesca Maria Poli, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle, Federico Nespoli, Daniele Brunetti, Anna Teplukhina, Hamish William Patten, Samuel Lanthaler, Haomin Sun, Alberto Mariani, Michele Marin

In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of type-I edge-localized modes (ELM) time series from the JET tokamak, the world's largest magnetic confinement plasma physics experiment, have been investigated through recurrence plots (RPs). The analysis has be ...

Helical equilibrium magnetohydrodynamic flow effects on the stability properties of low-n ideal external-infernal modes in weak shear tokamak configurations

Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Daniele Brunetti, Alberto Mariani

The impact of equilibrium helical flows on the stability properties of low shear tokamak plasmas is assessed. The corrections due to such helical flow to the equilibrium profiles (mass density, pressure, Shafranov shift, magnetic fluxes) are computed by mi ...

Adaptive learning for disruption prediction in non-stationary conditions

Yiming Li, Olivier Sauter, Richard Pitts, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Henri Weisen, Jan Horacek, Javier García Hernández, Duccio Testa, Marco Wischmeier, Nicola Vianello, Mikhail Maslov, Patrick Blanchard, Alessandro Pau, Davide Galassi, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Antonio José Pereira de Figueiredo, Cristian Sommariva, Samuel Lanthaler, Yann Camenen, Jonathan Graves, Emiliano Fable, Francesca Maria Poli, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle, Federico Nespoli, Daniele Brunetti, Anna Teplukhina, Hamish William Patten, Haomin Sun, Alberto Mariani, Michele Marin

For many years, machine learning tools have proved to be very powerful disruption predictors in tokamaks. On the other hand, the vast majority of the techniques deployed assume that the input data is independent and is sampled from exactly the same probabi ...

Analytic stability criteria for edge MHD oscillations in high performance ELM free tokamak regimes

Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Daniele Brunetti, Alberto Mariani

A new dispersion relation, and associated stability criteria, is derived for low-n external kink and infernal modes, and is applied to modelling the stability properties of quiescent H-mode like regimes. The analysis, performed in toroidal geometry with la ...

Anisotropy and shaping effects on the stability boundaries of infernal ideal MHD modes in tokamak hybrid plasmas

Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Daniele Brunetti

Anisotropy and some limiting toroidal flow effects on the stability of nearly resonant ideal magnetohydrodynamic modes in hybrid shaped tokamak plasmas are investigated within the ideal MHD infernal mode framework. Such effects are found to alter the plasm ...

Current and pressure gradient triggering and nonlinear saturation of low-n edge harmonic oscillations in tokamaks

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Jonathan Graves, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle, Daniele Brunetti, Andreas Kleiner

Non-axisymmetric free-boundary equilibrium computations are shown to represent nonlinearly saturated external kink modes and external kink-like sidebands coupled to pressure-driven infernal modes. In this study of edge harmonic oscillations associated with ...

Reduced models for parallel magnetic field fluctuations and their impact on pressure gradient driven MHD instabilities in axisymmetric toroidal plasmas

Jonathan Graves, Daniele Brunetti, Samuel Lanthaler

It is well known that parallel magnetic field fluctuations are connected with finite plasma beta effects. It can therefore be expected that Reduced Models that simplify or neglect the parallel magnetic field may not capture the salient physics of all types ...

Ideal saturated MHD helical structures in axisymmetric hybrid plasmas

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Jonathan Graves, Daniele Brunetti

Kinked saturated m = 1 helical structures are frequently observed in tokamak hybrid plasmas and in reversed field pinches (RFP). These modes occur when an extremum in the safety factor is close to, but necessarily resonant with, a low order rational (typic ...

Occam's razor on the mechanism of resistive-wall-mode-induced beta limits in diverted tokamaks

Jonathan Graves, Daniele Brunetti

External kink modes, believed to be the drive of the 0-limiting resistive wall mode, are strongly stabilized by the presence of a separatrix. We thus propose a novel mechanism explaining the appearance of long-wavelength global instabilities in free bounda ...

Control of the hydrogen:deuterium isotope mixture using pellets in JET

Yiming Li, Olivier Sauter, Richard Pitts, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Henri Weisen, Yann Camenen, Jan Horacek, Javier García Hernández, Duccio Testa, Marco Wischmeier, Nicola Vianello, Mikhail Maslov, Patrick Blanchard, Alessandro Pau, Davide Galassi, Antonio José Pereira de Figueiredo, Cristian Sommariva, Jonathan Graves, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Emiliano Fable, Francesca Maria Poli, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle, Federico Nespoli, Daniele Brunetti, Anna Teplukhina, Hamish William Patten, Samuel Lanthaler, Haomin Sun, Alberto Mariani, Michele Marin

Deuterium pellets are injected into an initially pure hydrogen H-mode plasma in order to control the hydrogen: deuterium (H:D) isotope mixture. The pellets are deposited in the outer 20% of the minor radius, similar to that expected in ITER, creating trans ...

Analytic study on low-n external ideal infernal modes in tokamaks with large edge pressure gradients

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Jonathan Graves, Daniele Brunetti, Alberto Mariani

The problem of pressure driven infernal type perturbations near the plasma edge is addressed analytically for a circular limited tokamak configuration which presents an edge flattened safety factor. The plasma is separated from a metallic wall, either idea ...

Fast growing resistive two fluid instabilities in hybrid-like tokamak configuration

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Jonathan Graves, Daniele Brunetti

An analytic derivation of the dispersion relation for resistive instabilities in a low-shear tokamak configuration is presented. The resistive infernal mode model (Charlton et al 1989 Phys. Fluids B 1 798) is generalized to include plasma diamagnetism, sub ...
