Self-consistent modeling of runaway electron generation in massive gas injection scenarios in ASDEX Upgrade

O. Linder, E. Fable, F. Jenko +4

We present the first successful simulation of a induced disruption in ASDEX Upgrade from massive material injection (MMI) up to established runaway electron (RE) beam, thus coverin…

Flux-driven integrated modelling of main ion pressure and trace tungsten transport in ASDEX Upgrade

O. Linder, J. Citrin, G. M. D. Hogeweij +9

Neoclassical and turbulent heavy impurity transport in tokamak core plasmas are determined by main ion temperature, density and toroidal rotation profiles. Thus, in order to unders…
