The effect of plasmoid drifts on the pellet rocket effect in magnetic confinement fusion plasmas
N. J. Guth, O. Vallhagen, P. Helander +4
We detail here a semi-analytical model for the pellet rocket effect, which describes the acceleration of pellets in a fusion plasma due to asymmetries in the heat flux reaching the…

The pellet rocket effect in magnetic confinement fusion plasmas
Nico J. Guth, Oskar Vallhagen, Per Helander +3
Pellets of frozen material travelling into a magnetically confined fusion plasma are accelerated by the so-called pellet rocket effect. The non-uniform plasma heats the pellet abla…
