Three-dimensional fluid simulations of a simple magnetized plasma

Paolo Ricci

Three-dimensional fluid simulations are performed in a simple magnetized toroidal plasma, in which vertical and toroidal magnetic fields create helicoidal magnetic field lines that terminate on the torus vessel. The simulations are carried out in the three ...

Theory of the scrape-off layer width in inner-wall limited tokamak plasmas

Paolo Ricci, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Sébastien Jolliet, Annamaria Mosetto, Federico David Halpern

We develop a predictive theory applicable to the scrape-off layer (SOL) of inner-wall limited plasmas. Using the non-linear flattening of the pressure profile as a saturation mechanism for resistive ballooning modes, we are able to demonstrate and quantify ...

Turbulence Phase Space in Simple Magnetized Toroidal Plasmas

Paolo Ricci

Plasma turbulence in a simple magnetized torus (SMT) is explored for the first time with three-dimensional global fluid simulations. Three turbulence regimes are described: an ideal interchange mode regime, a previously undiscovered resistive interchange m ...

Collisional damping of zonal flows due to finite Larmor radius effects

Paolo Ricci

The collisional damping of seeded E X B zonal flows on the ion Larmor radius scale is studied using a gyrokinetic model. The focus is on flow damping due to finite Larmor radius effects, which cause a nu(parallel to)/nu anisotropy of the ion distribution f ...

Plasma turbulence in the scrape-off layer of the ISTTOK tokamak

Paolo Ricci, Federico David Halpern, Rogério Manuel Cabete De Jesus Jorge

The properties of plasma turbulence in a poloidally limited scrape-off layer (SOL) are addressed, with focus on ISTTOK, a large aspect ratio tokamak with a circular cross section. Theoretical investigations based on the drift-reduced Braginskii equations a ...

Cross-field transport by instabilities and blobs in a magnetized toroidal plasma

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Benoît Labit, Paolo Ricci, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Mario Ludovico Podesta, Francesca Maria Poli

The mechanisms for anomalous transport across the magnetic field are investigated in a toroidal magnetized plasma. The role of plasma instabilities and macroscopic density structures (blobs) is discussed. Examples from a scenario with open magnetic field l ...

Langmuir probe-based observables for plasma-turbulence code validation and application to the TORPEX basic plasma physics experiment

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Benoît Labit, Paolo Ricci, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Mario Ludovico Podesta, Francesca Maria Poli, Stefan Müller

The methodology for plasma-turbulence code validation is discussed, with focus on the quantities to use for the simulation-experiment comparison, i.e., the validation observables, and application to the TORPEX basic plasma physics experiment [A. Fasoli , P ...

Blob motion and control in simple magnetized plasmas

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Benoît Labit, Paolo Ricci, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Davoud Iraji

The radial propagation of plasma blobs and possibilities of influencing it are investigated in the TORPEX toroidal experiment [Fasoli et al., Phys. Plasmas 13, 055902 (2006)]. The effect of changing the connection length and the neutral background pressure ...

Edge turbulence in ISTTOK: a multi-code fluid validation

Paolo Ricci, Fabio Riva, Davide Galassi, Rogério Manuel Cabete De Jesus Jorge

Fluid models used to study the edge plasma region need to be benchmarked against similar conditions given that models can strongly differ in complexity and therefore the results they produce. Via this validation study undertaken through the framework of EU ...

Verification methodology for plasma simulations and application to a scrape-off layer turbulence code

Paolo Ricci, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Sébastien Jolliet, Fabio Riva, Federico David Halpern, Annamaria Mosetto

Bridging the gap between plasma physics and other scientific domains, in particular, the computational fluid dynamics community, a general, rigorous, and simple-to-apply methodology is presented for both the verification of the correct implementation of th ...

Comparison of 3D flux-driven scrape-off layer turbulence simulations with gas-puff imaging of Alcator C-Mod inner-wall limited discharges

Paolo Ricci, Mario Ludovico Podesta, Federico David Halpern

We carry out a quantitative comparison between gas-puff imaging (GPI) turbulence measurements in Alcator C-Mod inner-wall limited discharges (Zweben et al 2009 Phys. Plasmas 18 082505) and 3D flux-driven drift-reduced Braginskii turbulence simulations of s ...

Truncated Levy motion through path integrals and applications to nondiffusive suprathermal ion transport

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Oulfa Chellaï, Fabian Manke

Fractional Levy motion has been derived from its generalized Langevin equation via path integrals in earlier works and has since proven to be a useful model for nonlocal and non-Markovian processes, especially in the context of nondiffusive transport. Here ...

Theory-based scaling of the SOL width in circular limited tokamak plasmas

Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Benoît Labit, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Jan Horacek, Sébastien Jolliet, Federico David Halpern, Gilles Arnoux, Annamaria Mosetto

A theory-based scaling for the characteristic length of a circular, limited tokamak scrape-off layer (SOL) is obtained by considering the balance between parallel losses and non-linearly saturated resistive ballooning mode turbulence driving anomalous perp ...

Moving toward mass-conserving simulations of plasma turbulence and kinetic neutrals in the tokamak boundary with the GBS code

Paolo Ricci

A model for the simulation of the tokamak boundary is described, which is mass-conserving to leading order in rho s / R 0 (where rho s is the ion sound Larmor radius and R-0 is the tokamak major radius at the magnetic axis). The model integrates a three-di ...
