Nonlinear simulation of plasma turbulence using a gyrokinetic moment-based approach

Plasma turbulence plays a fundamental role in determining the performances of magnetic confinement fusion devices, such as tokamaks. Advances in computer science, combined with the development of efficient physical models, have significantly improved our u ...

Gas puff imaging on the TCV tokamak

Basil Duval, Jean-Daniel Landis, Yanis Andrebe, Robert Bertizzolo, Hammam Elaian, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Curdin Tobias Wüthrich, Cristian Galperti, Olivier Claude Martin Février, Nicola Offeddu, Arnaud Clément

We present the design and operation of a suite of Gas Puff Imaging (GPI) diagnostic systems installed on the Tokamak a Configuration Variable (TCV) for the study of turbulence in the plasma edge and Scrape-Off-Layer (SOL). These systems provide the unique ...

Negative hydrogen ion dynamics inside the plasma volume of a linear device: Estimates from particle-in-cell calculations

Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne, Alan Howling, Ivo Furno, Rémy Jacquier, Riccardo Agnello

Negative hydrogen or deuterium ions are the precursor particles used to generate a high power beam of neutrals in order to heat the tokamak plasma core of magnetic fusion devices, inject current, and to some extent control instabilities. In the case of ITE ...

Wall conditioning in fusion devices with superconducting coils

Stefano Coda

Wall conditioning is essential in tokamak and stellarator research to achieve plasma performance and reproducibility. This paper presents an overview of recent conditioning results, both from experiments in present devices and modelling, in view of devices ...

Millimeter-wave beam scattering by edge-plasma density fluctuations in TCV

Stefano Alberti, Timothy Goodman, Ivo Furno, Benoît Labit, Paolo Ricci, Fabio Riva, Oulfa Chellaï, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz

In magnetically confined fusion devices, the use of millimeter waves (mmw) at the electron cyclotron (EC) frequencies ranges from plasma diagnostics to plasma heating, current drive and core confinement preservation. For large tokamaks such as ITER, numeri ...

Investigation of deuterium trapping and release in the JET divertor during the third ILW campaign using TDS

Patrick Blanchard, Basil Duval, Ambrogio Fasoli, Yves Martin, Richard Pitts, Olivier Sauter, Henri Weisen, Stefano Coda, Marco Wischmeier, Jan Horacek, Yann Camenen, Jonathan Graves, Duccio Testa, Mikhail Maslov, Javier García Hernández, David Pfefferlé, Dalziel Joseph Wilson, Jonathan Marc Philippe Faustin, Federico Nespoli, Hamish William Patten, Nicola Vianello, Antonio José Pereira de Figueiredo, Samuel Lanthaler, Liang Yao, Cristian Sommariva, Davide Galassi, Alessandro Pau

Selected set of samples from JET ITER-Like Wall (JET-ILW) divertor tiles exposed in 2015-2016 has been analysed using Thermal Desorption Spectrometry (TDS). The deuterium (D) amounts obtained with TDS were compared with Nuclear Reaction Analysis (NRA). The ...

Linearized model Fokker-Planck collision operators for gyrokinetic simulations. II. Numerical implementation and tests

Paolo Ricci

A set of key properties for an ideal dissipation scheme in gyrokinetic simulations is proposed, and implementation of a model collision operator satisfying these properties is described. This operator is based on the exact linearized test-particle collisio ...

Plasma shape stabilization of current rise MHD instabilities in TCV

Yves Martin, Antoine Pochelon, Andrea Scarabosio

The well-known and potentially disruptive plasma 'current rise' instabilities are studied as a function of the plasma shape in the Tokamak a a Configuration Variable (TCV). Disruptions typically occur in quasi-circular plasmas at q(a) - 3 in both non-sawto ...
