Efficient calculation of magnetic fields from ferromagnetic materials near strong electromagnets, and application to stellarator coil optimization

Matt Landreman, Humberto Torreblanca, Antoine Cerfon

In fusion reactor design, steels under consideration for the blanket are ferromagnetic, so the steel's effect on the plasma physics must be examined. For efficient calculation of t…

Resilient Stellarator Divertor Characteristics in the Helically Symmetric eXperiment

K. A. Garcia, A. Bader, D. Boeyaert +5

Resilient divertor features connected to open chaotic edge structures in the Helically Symmetric Experiment (HSX) are investigated. For the first time, an expanded vessel wall was…

Kinetic-Ballooning-Bifurcation in Tokamak Pedestals Across Shaping and Aspect-Ratio

J. F. Parisi, A. O. Nelson, R. Gaur +16

We use a new gyrokinetic threshold model to predict a bifurcation in tokamak pedestal width-height scalings that depends strongly on plasma shaping and aspect-ratio. The bifurcatio…

Exploration of Non-Resonant Divertor Features on the Compact Toroidal Hybrid

K. A. Garcia, A. Bader, H. Frerichs +4

Non-resonant divertors (NRDs) separate the confined plasma from the surrounding plasma facing components (PFCs). The resulting striking field line intersection pattern on these PFC…

Kinetic-Ballooning-Limited Pedestals in Spherical Tokamak Plasmas

J. F. Parisi, W. Guttenfelder, A. O. Nelson +12

A theoretical model is presented that for the first time matches experimental measurements of the pedestal width-height Diallo scaling in the low-aspect-ratio high- tokamak NSTX…

Accelerated Bayesian inference of plasma profiles with self-consistent MHD equilibria at W7-X via neural networks

Andrea Merlo, Andrea Pavone, Daniel Böckenhoff +10

High- operations require a fast and robust inference of plasma parameters with a self-consistent MHD equilibrium. Precalculated MHD equilibria are usually employe…
