Transport Characteristics and Modelling of ST40 Hot Ion Plasmas
MS Anastopoulos Tzanis, MR Hardman, Y Zhang +14
In this paper, the turbulent transport properties of ST40 hot ion plasmas are examined and fully predictive time evolving modelling of a hot ion plasma pulse was performed. Underst…
Doubling Fusion Power with Volumetric Optimization in Magnetic Confinement Fusion Devices
J. F. Parisi, J. W. Berkery, A. Sladkomedova +17
A technique, volumetric power optimization, is presented for enhancing the power output of magnetic confinement fusion devices. Applied to a tokamak, this approach involves shiftin…
Inferring the scrape-off layer heat flux width in a divertor with a low degree of axisymmetry
C. Marsden, X. Zhang, M. Moscheni +7
Plasma facing components (PFCs) in the next generation of tokamak devices will operate in challenging environments, with heat loads predicted to exceed 10 MWm. The magnitude…
Experimental observations of bifurcated power decay lengths in the near Scrape-Off Layer of tokamak plasmas
X Zhang, C Marsden, M Moscheni +14
The scrape-off layer parallel heat flux decay lengths measured at ST40, a high field, low aspect ratio spherical tokamak, have been observed to bifurcate into two groups. The wide…
