Validation of geometric proxies using negative and positive triangularity plasmas with varying elongation on TCV and multi-machine gyrokinetic simulations
Alessandro Balestri, Justin Ball, Stefano Coda +7
Negative Triangularity (NT) tokamak plasmas can achieve H-mode-like confinement while avoiding Edge Localized Modes, making them an attractive reactor scenario. Predicting in which…
An Inverse Grad-Shafranov Neural Network Approach to Tokamak Magnetic Control
Allen M. Wang, Adriano Mele, Cosmas Heiß +12
A new approach to tokamak magnetic control enabling high-precision plasma shaping and novel real-time adaptability is experimentally demonstrated on the Tokamak a Configuration Var…
High-power TCV scenario for conventional and alternative divertor studies
K. Lee, C. Theiler, M. Carpita +20
Alternative divertor configurations (ADCs) must be evaluated under boundary plasma conditions approaching reactor-level values to be considered a reliable, physics-based solution f…
The Negative Triangularity Tokamak Path for Fusion Pilot Plants: Experimental Progress and Future Prospects
K. E. Thome, M. E. Austin, S. Coda +8
This paper reviews the experimental progress of negative triangularity (NT), a tokamak configuration where the poloidal cross-section is a reversed-D shape compared to the conventi…
The physics of ELM-free regimes in EUROfusion tokamaks
M. G. Dunne, M. Faitsch, O. Sauter +25
The development of operational scenarios without large Type-I ELMs is of utmost importance for the stable operation and longevity of future tokamaks. The EUROfusion tokamak exploit…
Applications of a novel model-based real-time observer for electron density profile control experiments in TCV
F. Pastore, O. Sauter, F. Felici +12
Real-time control of tokamak plasmas encompasses sustaining a high-performance stationary state, avoiding disruptions, and managing ramp-up and ramp-down phases. Real-time estimati…
On the timescales of controlled termination of tokamak plasmas
Simon Van Mulders, Olivier Sauter
The RAPTOR code is used to model how the time required for controlled termination of Ohmic plasmas scales from present tokamaks like TCV and JET, to reactor-grade tokamaks like ITE…
Non-dimensional confinement scaling in similar negative triangularity plasmas on the DIII-D and TCV tokamaks
A. Marinoni, C. Chrystal, S. Coda +25
Similarity experiments were performed on the DIII-D and TCV tokamaks to explore the scaling of energy confinement in negative triangularity plasmas using non-dimensional variables.…
Kinetic Equilibrium Prediction at TCV using RAPTOR and FBT
C. E. Contré, A. Merle, O. Sauter +13
We present results from a new Kinetic-Equilibrium Prediction (KEP) workflow and shot preparation for full TCV discharges, by coupling predict-first RAPTOR transport simulations wit…
