Interpretative 3D MHD modelling of deuterium SPI into a JET H-mode plasma

Umar Sheikh, Haomin Sun, Mengdi Kong, Cristian Sommariva

The pre-thermal quench (pre-TQ) dynamics of a pure deuterium ( D 2 ) shattered pellet injection (SPI) into a 3 MA / 7 MJ JET H-mode plasma is studied via 3D non-linear MHD modelling with the JOREK code. The interpretative modelling captures the overall evo ...

Maximizing specific energy by breeding deuterium

Justin Richard Ball

Specific energy (i.e. energy per unit mass) is one of the most fundamental and consequential properties of a fuel source. In this work, a systematic study of measured fusion cross-sections is performed to determine which reactions are potentially feasible ...

Rapid Production of Submicron Drug Substance Particles by Supersonic Spray Drying

Esther Amstad

Many newly developed active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are poorly soluble in water and thus have a dissolution-limited bioavailability. The bioavailability of Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS) class II APIs increases if they dissolve fas ...

Mitigation of divertor heat loads by strike point sweeping in high power JET discharges

Jonathan Graves

Deliberate periodic movement (sweeping) of the high heat flux divertor strike lines in tokamak plasmas can be used to manage the heat fluxes experienced by exhaust handling plasma facing components, by spreading the heat loads over a larger surface area. S ...
