Model-based electron density profile estimation and control, applied to ITER

T. O. S. J. Bosman, M. van Berkel, M. R. de Baar

In contemporary magnetic confinement devices, the density distribution is sensed with interferometers and actuated with feedback controlled gas injection and open-loop pellet injec…

MHD simulations of small ELMs at low triangularity in ASDEX Upgrade

A. Cathey, M. Hoelzl, G. Harrer +9

The development of small- and no-ELM regimes for ITER is a high priority topic due to the risks associated to type-I ELMs. By considering non-linear extended MHD simulations of the…

The available energy of trapped electrons and its relation to turbulent transport

R. J. J. Mackenbach, J. H. E. Proll, P. Helander

A collisionless plasma possesses a certain amount of "available energy", which is that part of the thermal energy that can be converted into field energy. Here, a calculation is pr…

On the optical measurement of microparticle charge using quantum dots

Mikhail Pustylnik, Zahra Marvi, Job Beckers

We investigated the possibility of using a layer of quantum dots (QDs) deposited on the microparticle surface for the measurement of the charge the microparticle acquires when imme…

Quantum dot photoluminescence as a versatile probe to visualize the interaction between plasma and nanoparticles on a surface

Zahra Marvi, Tim Donders, Mohammad Hasani +2

We experimentally demonstrate that the interaction between plasma and nanometer-sized semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) is directly connected to a change in their photoluminescence…

Investigating CO streamer inception in repetitive pulsed discharges

Shahriar Mirpour, Sander Nijdam

In this study, we investigate the responsible species and processes involved in repetitive pulsed streamer inception in CO. We applied a 10 kV high-voltage pulse with a repet…

Combining the hybrid mimetic mixed method with the Scharfetter-Gummel scheme for magnetised transport in plasmas

Hanz Martin Cheng, Jan ten thije Boonkkamp, Jesper Janssen +2

In this paper, we propose a numerical scheme for fluid models of magnetised plasmas. One important feature of the numerical scheme is that it should be able to handle the anisotrop…

Simulations of positive streamers in air in different electric fields: steady motion of solitary streamer heads and the stability field

Hani Francisco, Jannis Teunissen, Behnaz Bagheri +1

We simulate and characterize positive streamers in ambient air in homogeneous background electric fields from 4.5 to 26 kV/cm in a 4 cm gap. They can accelerate or decelerate depen…

Neutral dissociation of methane by electron impact and a complete and consistent cross section set

D. Bouwman, A. Martinez, B. Braams +1

We present cross sections for the neutral dissociation of methane, in a large part obtained through analytical approximations. With these cross sections the work of Song $\textit{e…

Comparing simulations and experiments of positive streamers in air: steps toward model validation

Xiaoran Li, Siebe Dijcks, Sander Nijdam +3

We compare simulations and experiments of single positive streamer discharges in air at 100 mbar, aiming towards model validation. Experimentally, streamers are generated in a plat…

New plasma regimes with small ELMs and high confinement at the Joint European Torus

J. Garcia, E. de la Luna, M. Sertoli +15

New plasma regimes with high confinement, low core impurity accumulation and small Edge localized mode (ELMs) perturbations have been obtained close to ITER conditions in magnetica…

Comparing spontaneous and pellet-triggered ELMs via non-linear extended MHD simulations

A. Cathey, M. Hoelzl, S. Futatani +8

Injecting frozen deuterium pellets into an ELMy H-mode plasma is a well established scheme for triggering edge localized modes (ELMs) before they naturally occur. Based on an ASDEX…

Simulations of COMPASS Vertical Displacement Events with a self-consistent model for halo currents including neutrals and sheath boundary conditions

F. J. Artola, A. Loarte, E. Matveeva +11

The understanding of the halo current properties during disruptions is key to design and operate large scale tokamaks in view of the large thermal and electromagnetic loads that th…
