Impact of the plasma operation on the technical requirements in EU-DEMO

Olivier Sauter, Minh Quang Tran, Hartmut Zohm, Emiliano Fable, Simon Van Mulders

The plasma design point during stationary phase operation of EU-DEMO has been described extensively in the past, and the assumptions employed for its definition have been supported by various investigations. However, a stationary snapshot is by far not suf ...

Modelling of sawtooth-induced fast ion transport in positive and negative triangularity in TCV

Basil Duval, Olivier Sauter, Alexander Karpushov, Mario Ludovico Podesta, Duccio Testa, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Lorenzo Stipani, Matteo Vallar, Dmytry Mykytchuk

Internal kinks are a common magneto hydro-dynamic (MHD) instability observed in tokamak operation when the q profile in the plasma core is close to unity. This MHD instability impacts both the transport of the bulk plasma (current, particle and energy tran ...

Study of impurity ion transport using charge exchange spectroscopy on TCV

Filippo Bagnato

The study of impurity transport in fusion plasmas has gained interest over the years due to its implication with tokamak performances. In TCV (Tokamak à Configuration Variable), as in many other facilities, impurity ions can be studied through the CXRS (Ch ...

Turbulent transport regimes in the tokamak boundary

Maurizio Giacomin

The overall performance of a tokamak strongly depends on phenomena that take place in a thin region between the main plasma and the vessel wall, which is denoted as tokamak boundary. In fact, the formation of transport barriers in this region can significa ...

Improved Plasma Vertical Position Control on TCV Using Model-Based Optimized Controller Synthesis

Stefano Coda, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Cristian Galperti, Federico Pesamosca

Elongated plasmas lead to improved performance in tokamaks but make the plasma prone to vertical instability, which requires active feedback control, a critical issue for future fusion reactors. Vertical control was optimized for the TCV tokamak by applyin ...

Development of a reduced model for energetic particle transport by sawteeth in tokamaks

Mario Ludovico Podesta, Francesca Maria Poli, Jiangyan Yang, Anna Teplukhina, Matteo Vallar

The sawtooth instability is known for inducing transport and loss of energetic particles (EPs), and for generating seed magnetic islands that can trigger tearing modes. Both effects degrade the overall plasma performance. Several theories and numerical mod ...

Upgrade of the neutral beam heating system on the TCV tokamak - second high energy neutral beam

Basil Duval, Damien Fasel, Ambrogio Fasoli, Pierre Lavanchy, Blaise Marlétaz, Yves Martin, Holger Reimerdes, Stefano Coda, Ugo Siravo, Alexander Karpushov, Jérémie Dubray, Frédéric Dolizy, Rémy Jacquier, Matthieu Toussaint, Umar Sheikh, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Filippo Bagnato, Lorenzo Martinelli, Matteo Vallar, Claudia Colandrea, Dmytry Mykytchuk, Jesús Poley Sanjuán

The TCV tokamak continues to leverage its unique shaping capabilities, flexible heating systems and modern control system to provide a stepladder approach for extrapolations of experimental results from different ma-chines to ITER and DEMO. TCV's configura ...

A self-consistent multi-component model of plasma turbulence and kinetic neutral dynamics for the simulation of the tokamak boundary

Paolo Ricci

A self-consistent model is presented for the simulation of a multi-component plasma in the tokamak boundary. A deuterium plasma is considered, with the plasma species that include electrons, deuterium atomic ions and deuterium molecular ions, while the deu ...

Heavy impurity transport in the presence of 3D MHD ideal perturbations

Eduardo José Lascas Neto

Heavy impurity accumulation poses a problem for the operation of tokamaks featuring tungsten plasma facing components. Early termination of the plasma due to tungsten accumulation is often observed following long living 3D MHD perturbations. Such scenari ...

A 1.5D fluid-Monte Carlo model of a hydrogen helicon plasma

Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne, Alan Howling, Ivo Furno, Rémy Jacquier, Riccardo Agnello

Helicon plasma sources operating with hydrogen or deuterium might be attractive for fusion applications due to their higher power efficiency compared to inductive radiofrequency plasma sources. In recent years, the resonant antenna ion device (RAID) has be ...

New insights on divertor parallel flows,E x B drifts, and fluctuations from in situ, two-dimensional probe measurement in the Tokamak a Configuration Variable

Basil Duval, Holger Reimerdes, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Hugo De Oliveira, Cedric Kar-Wai Tsui, Sophie Danielle Angelica Gorno, Artur Perek

In situ, two-dimensional (2D) Langmuir probe measurements across a large part of the TCV outer divertor are reported in L-mode discharges with and without divertor baffles. This provides detailed insights into time averaged profiles, particle fluxes, and f ...
