Evolution of SPI-induced disruptions in ASDEX Upgrade
P. Heinrich, G. Papp, S. Jachmich +23
Disruptions are a major concern for future fusion reactors based on the tokamak principle. To ensure machine protection, the thermal loads and vessel forces that arise during disru…
Applications of a novel model-based real-time observer for electron density profile control experiments in TCV
F. Pastore, O. Sauter, F. Felici +12
Real-time control of tokamak plasmas encompasses sustaining a high-performance stationary state, avoiding disruptions, and managing ramp-up and ramp-down phases. Real-time estimati…
Kinetic Equilibrium Prediction at TCV using RAPTOR and FBT
C. E. Contré, A. Merle, O. Sauter +13
We present results from a new Kinetic-Equilibrium Prediction (KEP) workflow and shot preparation for full TCV discharges, by coupling predict-first RAPTOR transport simulations wit…
Variability of MHD Instabilities in Benign Termination of High-Current Runaway Electron Beams in the JET and DIII-D Tokamaks
C. F. B. Zimmermann, C. Paz-Soldan, G. Su +14
Benign termination, in which magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities deconfine runaway electrons (REs) following hydrogenic injections, is a promising strategy for mitigating dange…
An upper pressure limit for low-Z benign termination of runaway electron beams in TCV
M Hoppe, J Decker, U Sheikh +17
We present a model for the particle balance in the post-disruption runaway electron plateau phase of a tokamak discharge. The model is constructed with the help of, and applied to,…
Non-linear MHD modelling of shattered pellet injection in ASDEX Upgrade
W. Tang, M. Hoelzl, M. Lehnen +11
Shattered pellet injection (SPI) is selected for the disruption mitigation system in ITER, due to deeper penetration, expected assimilation efficiency and prompt material delivery.…
