Heavy Impurity Confinement in Hybrid Operation Scenario Plasmas with a Rotating 1/1 Continuous Mode

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Jonathan Graves, David Pfefferlé, Madhusudan Raghunathan

In future tokamaks like ITER with tungsten walls, it is imperative to control tungsten accumulation in the core of operational plasmas, especially since tungsten accumulation can lead to radiative collapse and disruption. We investigate the behaviour of tu ...

Effects of magnetic ripple on 3D equilibrium and alpha particle confinement in the European DEMO

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Ambrogio Fasoli, Jonathan Graves, David Pfefferlé

An assessment of alpha particle confinement is performed in the European DEMO reference design. 3D MHD equilibria with nested flux-surfaces and single magnetic axis are obtained with the VMEC free-boundary code, thereby including the plasma response to the ...

Stabilization of the vertical instability by non-axisymmetric coils

Wilfred Anthony Cooper

In a published Physical Review Letter (Reiman 2007 Phys. Rev. Lett. 99 135007), it was shown that axisymmetric (or vertical) stability can be improved by placing a set of parallelogram coils above and below the plasma oriented at an angle to the constant t ...

Neoclassical tearing mode seeding by coupling with infernal modes in low-shear tokamaks

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Jonathan Graves, Federico David Halpern, Daniele Brunetti, Andreas Kleiner

A numerical and an analytical study of the triggering of resistive MHD modes in tokamak plasmas with low magnetic shear core is presented. Flat q profiles give rise to fast growing pressure driven MHD modes, such as infernal modes. It has been shown that i ...

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

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

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. ...

Three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium of quiescent H-modes in tokamak systems

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Basil Duval, Olivier Sauter, Trach-Minh Tran, Jonathan Graves, Andreas Kleiner, Jonathan Marc Philippe Faustin, Madhusudan Raghunathan, Hamish William Patten, Samuel Lanthaler

Three dimensional free boundary magnetohydrodynamic equilibria that recover saturated ideal kink/peeling structures are obtained numerically. Simulations that model the JET tokamak at fixed = 1.7% with a large edge bootstrap current that flattens t ...

Simulation of bootstrap current in 2D and 3D ideal magnetic fields in tokamaks

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Olivier Sauter, Jonathan Graves, Michael Pedro, Madhusudan Raghunathan

We aim to simulate the bootstrap current for a MAST-like spherical tokamak using two approaches for magnetic equilibria including externally caused 3D effects such as resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs), the effect of toroidal ripple, and intrinsic 3D e ...

Fast particle loss channels in Wendelstein 7-X

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Jonathan Graves, David Pfefferlé, Jonathan Marc Philippe Faustin

One of the main goals of Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) is to demonstrate the fast particle confinement properties of the quasi-isodynamic stellarator concept. Fast particle populations will be produced either by Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) or by minority Ion Cyc ...

ICRH induced particle losses in Wendelstein 7-X

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Jonathan Graves, David Pfefferlé, Jonathan Marc Philippe Faustin

Fast ions in W7-X will be produced either by neutral beam injection (NBI) or by ion-cyclotron resonant heating (ICRH). The latter presents the advantage of depositing power locally and does not suffer from core accessibility issues (Drevlak et al 2014 Nucl ...

Hybrid guiding-centre/full-orbit simulations in non-axisymmetric magnetic geometry exploiting general criterion for guiding-centre accuracy

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Jonathan Graves, David Pfefferlé

To identify under what conditions guiding-centre or full-orbit tracing should be used, an estimation of the spatial variation of the magnetic field is proposed, not only taking into account gradient and curvature terms but also parallel currents and the lo ...

Overview of MAST results

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Ricardo Pérez Suárez, Jan Horacek, Jonathan Graves, Mario Ludovico Podesta, Ben McMillan, Otto Asunta

The Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak (MAST) programme is strongly focused on addressing key physics issues in preparation for operation of ITER as well as providing solutions for DEMO design choices. In this regard, MAST has provided key results in understand ...

Extended MHD simulations of infernal mode dynamics and coupling to tearing modes

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Jonathan Graves, Federico David Halpern, Daniele Brunetti

A numerical study of pressure driven magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities in a low-shear tight aspect ratio configuration is presented. When the magnetic shear is sufficiently small over an extended region in the core, enhanced instability occurs due to ...

Overview of the RFX-mod contribution to the international Fusion Science Program

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Elena Gaio, Leonardo Pigatto, Nicola Vianello, Alberto Ferro

The RFX-mod device is operated both as a reversed field pinch (RFP), where advanced regimes featuring helical shape develop, and as a tokamak. Due to its flexibility, RFX-mod is contributing to the solution of key issues in the roadmap to ITER and DEMO, in ...
