Interpretative 3D MHD modelling of deuterium SPI into a JET H-mode plasma

Umar Sheikh, Mengdi Kong, Cristian Sommariva, Haomin Sun

The pre-thermal quench (pre-TQ) dynamics of a pure deuterium ( D 2 ) shattered pellet injection (SPI) into a 3 MA / 7 MJ JET H-mode plasma is studied via 3D non-linear MHD modelling with the JOREK code. The interpretative modelling captures the overall evo ...

Scenario optimization for the tokamak ramp-down phase in RAPTOR. Part B: safe termination of DEMO plasmas

Olivier Sauter, Emiliano Fable, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Anna Teplukhina, Simon Van Mulders, Cassandre Ekta Contré

An optimized plasma current ramp-down strategy is critical for safe and fast termination of plasma discharges in a tokamak demonstration fusion reactor (DEMO), both in planned and emergency scenarios, avoiding plasma disruptions and excessive heat loads to ...

Comparison of reduced model predictions for divertor detachment onset and reattachment timescales in ASDEX Upgrade and JET experiments

Holger Reimerdes, Haomin Sun

Building on prior analysis of ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) experiments (Henderson et al 2023 Nucl. Fusion 63 086024), this study compares simple analytical formula predictions for divertor detachment onset and reattachment timescales in JET experiments. Detachment ...

Multi-machine benchmark of the self-consistent 1D scrape-off layer model DIV1D from stagnation point to target with SOLPS-ITER

Holger Reimerdes

This paper extends a 1D dynamic physics-based model of the scrape-off layer (SOL) plasma, DIV1D, to include the core SOL and possibly a second target. The extended model is benchmarked on 1D mapped SOLPS-ITER simulations to find input settings for DIV1D th ...

Disruption avoidance and investigation of the H-Mode density limit in ASDEX Upgrade

Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Alessandro Pau, Bernhard Sieglin

In recent years a strong effort has been made to investigate disruption avoidance schemes in order to aid the development of integrated operational scenarios for ITER. Within the EUROfusion programme the disruptive H-mode density limit (HDL) has been studi ...

Experiments and gyrokinetic simulations of TCV plasmas with negative triangularity in view of DTT operations

Olivier Sauter, Stefano Coda, Alberto Mariani, Justin Richard Ball, Filippo Bagnato, Matteo Vallar

Negative triangularity (NT) scenarios in TCV have been compared to positive triangularity (PT) scenarios using the same plasma shapes foreseen for divertor tokamak test tokamak operations. The experiments provided a NT/PT L-mode pair and a PT H-mode with d ...

Neutron-Gamma Noise Measurements in a Zero-Power Reactor Using Organic Scintillators

Andreas Pautz, Oskari Ville Pakari, Vincent Pierre Lamirand

Noise measurements in light water reactor systems aid in generating validation data for integral point kinetic parameter predictions and generating monitoring parameters for reactor safety and safeguards. The CROCUS zero-power reactor has been used to supp ...

Study of impurity C transport and plasma rotation in negative triangularity on the TCV tokamak

Basil Duval, Olivier Sauter, Stefano Coda, Alexander Karpushov, Laurie Porte, Benoît Labit, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle, Justin Richard Ball, Filippo Bagnato, Alessandro Pau, Dmytry Mykytchuk

Carbon impurity transport is studied in the TCV tokamak using a charge exchange recombination diagnostic. TCVs flexible shaping capabilities were exploited to extend previous impurity transport studies to negative triangularity (delta < 0). A practical way ...

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

Stefano Coda, Justin Richard Ball

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 ...
