Physical insights from the aspect ratio dependence of turbulence in negative triangularity plasmas

In this work, we study the impact of aspect ratio A = R 0 / r (the ratio of major radius R 0 to minor radius r) on the confinement benefits of negative triangularity (NT) plasma shaping. We use high-fidelity flux tube gyrokinetic GENE simulations and consi ...

Nitrogen-seeded divertor detachment in TCV L-mode plasmas

Basil Duval, Benoît Labit, Holger Reimerdes, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Roberto Maurizio, Cedric Kar-Wai Tsui, Hugo De Oliveira, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh

Most of the detachment experiments done to date on the tokamak a configuration variable (TCV), both in standard and alternative divertor geometries, focused on L-mode integrated core density ramps. In view of extending these studies to high-power, high-con ...

Sawtooth control with modulated ICRH in JET-ILW H-mode plasmas

Jonathan Graves

Sawtooth pacing with modulated ion-cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) has been demonstrated to be very efficient in JET-ILW L-mode plasmas (Lerche et al 2017 Nucl. Fusion 57 036027, Lennholm et al 2017 Fusion Eng. Des. 123 535-40), where the main heat sour ...

Comparison of high density and nitrogen seeded detachment using SOLPS-ITER simulations of the tokamak a configuration variable

Basil Duval, Holger Reimerdes, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh, Mirko Wensing, Hugo De Oliveira, Lorenzo Martinelli

First of a kind SOLPS-ITER simulations on tokamak a configuration variable (TCV) that include nitrogen have been performed to model recent nitrogen seeded detachment experiments. Based on spectroscopic measurements, a nitrogen recycling coefficient R-p(N) ...

H-mode grade confinement in L-mode edge plasmas at negative triangularity on DIII-D

Olivier Sauter, Alessandro Marinoni, Luc Nicolas Xuan Zeng, Sung Chul Park

Plasmas with a negative triangularity shape have been created on the DIII-D tokamak that, despite maintaining standard L-mode edge radial profiles, reach volume averaged pressure levels typical of H-mode scenarios. Within the auxiliary power available for ...
