Nature of ideal MHD instabilities as described by multi-region relaxed MHD

Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Antoine Baillod

In this work, the stepped pressure equilibrium code (SPEC) (Hudson et al 2012 Phys. Plasmas 19 112502), which computes the equilibria of the multi-region relaxed magnetohydrodynamic energy principle (MRxMHD), has been upgraded to determine the MRxMHD stabi ...

Numerical study of delta-function current sheets arising from resonant magnetic perturbations

Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Yao Zhou

General three-dimensional toroidal ideal magnetohydrodynamic equilibria with a continuum of nested flux surfaces are susceptible to forming singular current sheets when resonant perturbations are applied. The presence of singular current sheets indicates t ...

Global fluid simulation of plasma turbulence in a stellarator with an island divertor

Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Paolo Ricci, Maurizio Giacomin, António João Caeiro Heitor Coelho

Results of a three-dimensional, flux-driven, electrostatic, global, two-fluid turbulence simulation for a five-field period stellarator with an island divertor are presented. The numerical simulation is carried out with the GBS code, recently extended to s ...

Self-consistent formation and steady-state characterization of trapped high-energy electron clouds in the presence of a neutral gas background

Stefano Alberti, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Guillaume Michel Le Bars, Francesco Romano

This study considers the self-consistent formation and dynamics of electron clouds interacting with a background neutral gas through elastic and inelastic (ionization) collisions in coaxial geometries similar to gyrotron electron guns. These clouds remain ...

Stellarator optimization for nested magnetic surfaces at finite β and toroidal current

Jonathan Graves, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Antoine Baillod

Good magnetic surfaces, as opposed to magnetic islands and chaotic field lines, are generally desirable for stellarators. In previous work, Landreman et al. [Phys. of Plasmas 28, 092505 (2021)] showed that equilibria computed by the Stepped-Pressure Equili ...

Parallel convection and E × B drifts in the TCV snowflake divertor and their effects on target heat-fluxes

Basil Duval, Holger Reimerdes, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Cedric Kar-Wai Tsui, Roberto Maurizio, Mirko Wensing, Davide Galassi

Parallel convection and E × B drifts act together to redistribute heat between the strike-points mechanisms is enhanced near the secondary X-point and is shown to dominate over heat in the low field side snowflake minus (LFS SF−). The cumulative heat conve ...

On the non-existence of stepped-pressure equilibria far from symmetry

Joaquim Loizu Cisquella

The Stepped Pressure Equilibrium Code (SPEC) (Hudson et al 2012 Phys. Plasmas 19 112502) has been successful in the construction of equilibria in 3D configurations that contain a mixture of flux surfaces, islands and chaotic magnetic field lines. In this m ...

Computation of multi-region, relaxed magnetohydrodynamic equilibria with prescribed toroidal current profile

Jonathan Graves, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Antoine Baillod, Ajay Kumar

The stepped-pressure equilibrium code (SPEC) (Hudson et al., Phys. Plasmas, vol. 19, issue 11, 2012, 112502) is extended to allow the computation of multi-region, relaxed magnetohydrodynamics (MRxMHD) equilibria at prescribed toroidal current profile. Toro ...

Model for current drive induced crash cycles in W7-X

Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Ajay Kumar

In the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) stellarator, the vacuum rotational transform, ι, has a flat radial profile and does not cross any major rational resonance. Nevertheless, during plasma operation the ι‐profile can be strongly modified by electron cyclotron cur ...
