Modelling of energetic particle drive and damping effects on TAEs in AUG experiment with ECCD

Alexander Karpushov, Giovanni Tardini

The impact of electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD)-driven current on toroidicity-induced Alfven eigenmodes (TAEs) in experiments on the AUG tokamak is investigated numerically. The dynamical evolution of the plasma profiles and equilibria are modelled w ...

Full-F turbulent simulation in a linear plasma device using a gyro-moment approach

Paolo Ricci, Baptiste Jimmy Frei

Simulations of plasma turbulence in a linear plasma device configuration are presented. These simulations are based on a simplified version of the gyrokinetic (GK) model proposed by Frei et al. [J. Plasma Phys. 86, 905860205 (2020)], where the full-F distr ...

First-principle based predictions of the effects of negative triangularity on DTT scenarios

Olivier Sauter, Gabriele Merlo, Alberto Mariani

Plasmas with negative triangularity (NT) shape have been recently shown to be able to achieve H-mode levels of confinement in L-mode, avoiding detrimental edge localised modes. Therefore, this plasma geometry is now studied as a possible viable option for ...

Tangentially viewing phase contrast imaging for turbulence measurements in toroidal fusion devices

Stefano Coda

Phase contrast imaging (PCI) is an established and powerful technique for measuring density fluctuations in plasmas and has been successfully applied to several fusion devices. Rooted in a concept first developed for microscopy, PCI belongs to the category ...

Long plasma duration operation analyses with an international multi-machine (tokamaks and stellarators) database

Stefano Coda, Jeffrey Huang

Combined high-fusion performance and long-pulse operation is one of the key integration challenges for fusion energy development in magnetic devices. Addressing these challenges requires an integrated vision of physics and engineering aspects with the purp ...

Sensitivity Analysis of the Lumped Thermal Model of the EU 170 GHz Gyrotron Magnetron Injection Gun

Jean-Philippe Hogge, Francisco Sanchez

The ITER Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating and Current Drive (ECRH&CD) system relies on 1 MW 170 GHz Gyrotrons to provide the mm-wave power needed for plasma heating, current drive, and magneto-hydrodynamic control. The design and modeling of the contro ...

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 ...

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 ...

Inter-discharge optimization for fast, reliable access to ASDEX Upgrade advanced tokamak scenario

Olivier Sauter, Hartmut Zohm, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Simon Van Mulders, Cassandre Ekta Contré

Rapid inter-discharge simulation and optimization using the RAPTOR code have allowed the development of a reliable and reproducible early heating strategy for an advanced tokamak (AT) scenario on ASDEX Upgrade. Solving for electron heat and current diffusi ...

The magnet feeders for the European DEMO fusion reactor: Conceptual design and recent advances

Rainer Wesche, Frédéric Michel, Roberto Guarino

The magnet feeders are part of the critical systems of a fusion reactor since they represent the interface between the in-cryostat components at 4.5 K and the room-temperature cryogenic plant and power supply. The European DEMO tokamak foresees 16 toroidal ...

Gyrokinetic turbulence modeling of a high performance scenario in JT-60SA

Stephan Brunner, Stefano Coda, Aylwin Iantchenko

Local gyrokinetic simulations are used to model turbulent transport for the first time in a representative high-performance plasma discharge projected for the new JT-60SA tokamak. The discharge features a double-null separatrix, 41 MW of combined neutral b ...
