Tokamak equilibrium reconstruction code LIUQE and its real time implementation

Basil Duval, Jean-Marc Moret, Holger Reimerdes, Stefano Coda, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Hoang Bao Le

Equilibrium reconstruction consists in identifying, from experimental measurements, a distribution of the plasma current density that satisfies the pressure balance constraint. The LIUQE code adopts a computationally efficient method to solve this problem, ...

Enhanced (E)over-right-arrow x (B)over-right-arrow drift effects in the TCV snowflake divertor

Basil Duval, Holger Reimerdes, Benoît Labit, Wouter Vijvers

Measurements of various plasma parameters at the divertor targets of snowflake (SF) and conventional single-null configurations indicate an enhanced effect of the (E) over right arrow x (B) over right arrow drift in the scrape-off layer of plasmas in the S ...

Effects of central electron cyclotron power on plasma rotation and on triggerless onset of NTMs in the TCV tokamak

Basil Duval, Olivier Sauter, Holger Reimerdes, Jonathan Rossel, Alexander Karpushov, Duccio Testa, Lucia Isabel Federspiel, Dávid Wágner, Doohyun Kim, Donghyun Kim

Experiments on the TCV tokamak show that high power central electron cyclotron heating (ECH) and current drive (ECCD) produce significant direct modification of the plasma rotation profile, as well as the effect on the equilibrium current density. These ef ...

20 years of research on the Alcator C-Mod tokamak

Basil Duval, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Yu Lin

The object of this review is to summarize the achievements of research on the Alcator C-Mod tokamak [Hutchinson et al., Phys. Plasmas 1, 1511 (1994) and Marmar, Fusion Sci. Technol. 51, 261 (2007)] and to place that research in the context of the quest for ...

Distributed digital real-time control system for TCV tokamak

Basil Duval, Damien Fasel, Philippe Marmillod, Jean-Marc Moret, Olivier Sauter, Stefano Coda, James Paley, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Hoang Bao Le

A new digital feedback control system (named the SCD "Systeme de Controle Distribue") has been developed, integrated and used successfully to control TCV (Tokamak a Configuration Variable) plasmas. The system is designed to be modular, distributed, and sca ...

Power exhaust in the snowflake divertor for L- and H-mode TCV tokamak plasmas

Basil Duval, Holger Reimerdes, Stefano Coda, Benoît Labit, Wouter Vijvers

The snowflake (SF) divertor is a plasma configuration that may enable tokamak operation at high performance and lower peak heat loads on the plasma-facing components than a standard single-null divertor. This paper reports on the results of experiments per ...
