X-point radiation: From discovery to potential application in a future reactor

Holger Reimerdes, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Umar Sheikh, Olivier Claude Martin Février

Power exhaust is a crucial issue for future fusion reactors. Divertor detachment and the required power dissipation fractions of about 95% are foreseen to be achieved by impurity seeding. In a tokamak, at high seeding levels the radiation often concentrate ...

Projection-angle effects when "observing" a turbulent magnetized collapsing molecular cloud: II. Magnetic field

Aris Evangelos Tritsis

Context. Interstellar magnetic fields are thought to play a fundamental role in the evolution of star-forming regions. Polarized thermal dust emission serves as a key probe for understanding the structure of the plane-of-the-sky component of the magnetic f ...

Plasma state monitoring and disruption characterization using multimodal VAEs

Giulio Romanelli, Olivier Sauter, Alessandro Pau, Yoeri Renier Johannes Poels, Cristina Venturini

When a plasma disrupts in a tokamak, significant heat and electromagnetic loads are deposited onto the surrounding device components. These forces scale with plasma current and magnetic field strength, making disruptions one of the key challenges for futur ...

Operation Above the Greenwald Density Limit in High Performance DIII-d Negative Triangularity Discharges

Olivier Sauter

The density limit in strongly-shaped negative triangularity (NT) discharges is studied experimentally in the DIII-D tokamak. Record-high Greenwald fractions fG are obtained, using gas puff injection only, with values up to near 2, where fG is defined as th ...

Shedding light on the MRI-driven dynamo in a stratified shearing box

Abhijit Bhausaheb Bendre

We study the magneto-rotational instability (MRI) dynamo in a geometrically thin disc (H/R < 1) using stratified zero net (vertical) flux shearing box simulations. We find that mean fields and electromotive forces (EMFs) oscillate with a primary frequency ...

Formation mechanism and microstructural characteristics of a body-centered cubic phase in 3D printed 316L–CuCrZr multi-material structures, combining laser powder bed fusion with foils

Roland Logé, Cyril Cayron, Jamasp Jhabvala, Seyed Amirmohammad Jamili

Additive manufacturing of 316L/CuCrZr multi-material metallic structures has recently attracted significant attention, due to the ideal combination of structural and thermal/electrical properties. In this work, a unique multi-phase microstructure was produ ...

Desi 2024 Vi: Cosmological Constraints From the Measurements of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations

Jiaxi Yu, Daniel Felipe Forero Sanchez, Antoine Philippe Jacques Rocher

We present cosmological results from the measurement of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in galaxy, quasar and Lyman-alpha forest tracers from the first year of observations from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), to be released in the DESI ...

Global fluid simulations of plasma turbulence in stellarators

António João Caeiro Heitor Coelho

In order to cope with the decarbonization challenge faced by many countries, fusion is one of the few alternatives to fossil fuels for the production of electricity. Two devices invented in the middle of the previous century have emerged as the most promis ...

Chiral Anomaly and Dynamos from Inhomogeneous Chemical Potential Fluctuations

Salim Bennouna

In the standard model of particle physics, the chiral anomaly can occur in relativistic plasmas and plays a role in the early Universe, protoneutron stars, heavy-ion collisions, and quantum materials. It gives rise to a magnetic instability if the number d ...

Stability of a liquid layer draining around a horizontal cylinder: Interplay of capillary and gravity forces

François Gallaire, Shahab Eghbali, Simeon Vladimirov Djambov

We study the drainage of a viscous liquid film coating the outside of a solid horizontal cylinder, where gravity acts vertically. We focus on the limit of large Ohnesorge numbers Oh, where inertia is negligible compared to viscous effects. We first study t ...

Modeling friction and wear using an adaptive discrete-continuum coupling

Manon Eugénie Voisin--Leprince

When two objects slide against each other, wear and friction occur at their interface. The accumulation of wear forms what is commonly referred to as a ``third-body''. Understanding third-body evolution has significant applications in industry, where contr ...
