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 ...

Maintenance and optimization of the TCV power supply

Damien Fasel, Ugo Siravo, Jérémie Dubray

The TCV tokamak is powered by a flywheel generator to supply the magnetic coils and the auxiliary heating systems. The generator has just undergone its fourth major overhaul to make it ready for the next ten years, after more than thirty years of almost tr ...

Parallel flows as a key component to interpret Super-X divertor experiments

Basil Duval, Holger Reimerdes, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Curdin Tobias Wüthrich, Olivier Claude Martin Février, Garance Hélène Salomé Durr-Legoupil-Nicoud, Davide Galassi, Lorenzo Martinelli, Sophie Danielle Angelica Gorno, Claudia Colandrea, Guang-Yu Sun, Luke Simons, Artur Perek

The Super-X Divertor (SXD) is an alternative divertor configuration leveraging total flux expansion at the Outer Strike Point (OSP). While the extended 2-Point Model (2PM) predicts facilitated detachment access and control in the SXD configuration, these a ...
