Edge plasma turbulence simulations in detached regimes with the SOLEDGE3X code

Holger Reimerdes, Davide Mancini

Experimental results from several tokamaks suggest a strong impact of divertor density regimes on turbulent transport in the edge plasma. Reciprocally, the change in cross- field transport and Scrape-Off-Layer (SOL) width affects the access to density regi ...

Occam's razor on the mechanism of resistive-wall-mode-induced beta limits in diverted tokamaks

Jonathan Graves, Daniele Brunetti

External kink modes, believed to be the drive of the 0-limiting resistive wall mode, are strongly stabilized by the presence of a separatrix. We thus propose a novel mechanism explaining the appearance of long-wavelength global instabilities in free bounda ...

Integrated modelling of neon impact on JET H-mode core plasmas

Yann Camenen, Michele Marin

Nuclear fusion reactor plasmas will need to exhaust a significant proportion of energy flux through radiative processes, to enable acceptable divertor loads. This can be obtained by line radiation from impurities, injected from the plasma edge. There are h ...
