The SPARC Toroidal Field Model Coil Program
Zachary Hartwig, Rui Vieira, Darby Dunn +97
The SPARC Toroidal Field Model Coil (TFMC) Program was a three-year effort between 2018 and 2021 that developed novel Rare Earth Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide (REBCO) superconductor…
Predictions of improved confinement in SPARC via energetic particle turbulence stabilization
A. Di Siena, P. Rodriguez-Fernandez, N. T. Howard +8
The recent progress in high-temperature superconductor technologies has led to the design and construction of SPARC, a compact tokamak device expected to reach plasma breakeven wit…
An analytic scaling relation for the maximum tokamak elongation against n=0 MHD resistive wall modes
Jungpyo Lee, Jeffrey P. Freidberg, Antoine J. Cerfon +1
A highly elongated plasma is desirable in order to increase plasma pressure and energy confinement to maximize fusion power output. However, there is a limit to the maximum achieva…
A fast low-to-high mode bifurcation dynamics in a tokamak edge plasma gyrokinetic simulation
C. S. Chang, S. Ku, G. R. Tynan +6
Transport barrier formation and its relation to sheared flows in fluids and plasmas are of fundamental interest in various natural and laboratory observations and of critical impor…
Tokamak elongation: how much is too much? II Numerical results
Jungpyo Lee, Antoine Cerfon, Jeffrey P. Freidberg
The analytic theory presented in Paper I is converted into a form convenient for numerical analysis. A fast and accurate code has been written using this numerical formulation. The…
