H-Mode density limit disruption avoidance in ASDEX Upgrade, TCV and JET

Olivier Sauter, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Alessandro Pau

In recent years a strong effort has been made to investigate disruption avoidance schemes in order to aid the development of integrated operational scenarios for ITER. Within the EUROfusion programme the disruptive H-Mode density limit (HDL) has been studi ...

SOLPS-ITER validation with TCV L-mode discharges

Patrick Blanchard, Basil Duval, Holger Reimerdes, Marco Wischmeier, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Hugo De Oliveira, Cedric Kar-Wai Tsui, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Mirko Wensing, Filippo Bagnato, Lorenzo Martinelli, Sophie Danielle Angelica Gorno, Claudia Colandrea, Artur Perek

This work presents a quantitative test of SOLPS-ITER simulations against tokamak a configuration variable (TCV) L-mode experiments. These simulations account for drifts, currents, kinetic neutrals, and carbon impurities providing the most complete edge tra ...

Drift-related transport and plasma-neutral interaction in the TCV divertor

Mirko Wensing

Thermonuclear fusion of light atoms is the primary energy source of stars, such as our Sun, that led to the emergence of life on Earth. However, its economic exploitation as a virtually unlimited and clean energy source is yet to be developed. One of the m ...

A New Cabled Stabilizer for the Nb3Sn React&Wind DEMO Conductor Prototype

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Boris Stepanov, Kamil Sedlák, Mithlesh Kumar, Vincenzo D'Auria

A Nb3Sn based, React&Wind flat cable, named RW2, was developed in the past three years at the Swiss Plasma Center in the scope of the EUROfusion conceptual studies for DEMO. The test results presented earlier proved an excellent DC performance, but large e ...

Manufacturing and Test of the 1 MW Long-Pulse 84/126 GHz Dual-Frequency Gyrotron for TCV

Stefano Alberti, Damien Fasel, Blaise Marlétaz, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Jérémie Dubray, Ioannis Pagonakis, Jérémy Genoud, François Jean Gaston Legrand

An 1 MW long-pulse (2s), 84/126 GHz dual frequency gyrotron has been produced by THALES MSI, France responding to the needs for upgrading the ECH system of the TCV tokamak The initial tests of the prototype carried out at EPFL, Switzerland, have verified a ...

Benchmark of gyrokinetic, kinetic MHD and gyrofluid codes for the linear calculation of fast particle driven TAE dynamics

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Alberto Bottino

Fast particles in fusion plasmas may drive Alfven modes unstable leading to fluctuations of the internal electromagnetic fields and potential loss of particles. Such instabilities can have an impact on the performance and the wall-load of machines with bur ...

Stability and toroidal rotation properties of highly shaped plasmas in the TCV tokamak

Andrea Scarabosio

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities and plasma rotation have various impacts on particle and thermal transport in toroidal plasmas. MHD instabilities degrade the confinement, limit the maximum achievable plasma pressure, and can lead to plasma disrupti ...

140 GHz high-power gyrotron development for the stellarator W7-X

Stefano Alberti, Jean-Philippe Hogge

Electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) has proven to be one of the most attractive heating schemes for stellarators. Therefore, ECRH was chosen to be the main heating method for the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator (W7-X) now under construction at IPP Grei ...
