An experimental characterization of core turbulence regimes in Wendelstein 7-X

D. Carralero, T. Estrada, E. Maragkoudakis +14

First results from the optimized helias Wendelstein 7-X stellarator (W7-X) have shown that core transport is no longer mostly neoclassical, as is the case in previous kinds of stel…

Residual zonal flows in tokamaks and stellarators at arbitrary wavelengths

P. Monreal, I. Calvo, E. Sánchez +5

In the linear collisionless limit, a zonal potential perturbation in a toroidal plasma relaxes, in general, to a non-zero residual value. Expressions for the residual value in toka…

Electrostatic gyrokinetic simulations in Wendelstein 7-X geometry: benchmark between the codes stella and GENE

A. González-Jerez, P. Xanthopoulos, J. M. García-Regaña +6

The first experimental campaigns have proven that, due to the optimization of the magnetic configuration with respect to neoclassical transport, the contribution of turbulence is e…

Reduced turbulent transport in the quasi-isodynamic stellarator configuration CIEMAT-QI4

J. M. García-Regaña, I. Calvo, E. Sánchez +3

CIEMAT-QI4 is a quasi-isodynamic stellarator configuration that simultaneously features very good fast-ion confinement in a broad range of values, low neoclassical transport a…

KNOSOS: a fast orbit-averaging neoclassical code for stellarator geometry

J. L. Velasco, I. Calvo, F. I. Parra +1

KNOSOS (KiNetic Orbit-averaging SOlver for Stellarators) is a freely available, open-source code (\href{https://github.com/joseluisvelasco/KNOSOS}{https://github.com/joseluisvelasc…

Role of the radial electric field in the confinement of energetic ions in the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator

M. Arranz, J. L. Velasco, I. Calvo +1

Good fast-ion confinement is an essential requirement for a fusion reactor. The magnetic configuration of the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) stellarator is partially optimized in this rega…
