High-performance orbit-following code ASCOT5 for Monte Carlo simulations in fusion plasmas
Jari Varje, Konsta Särkimäki, Joona Kontula +5
We present a novel implementation of a Monte Carlo particle-following code for solving the distribution function of minority species in fusion plasmas, called ASCOT5, and verify it…
Mechanics of ELM control coil induced alpha particle transport
Konsta Särkimäki, Jari Varje, Marina Bécoulet +2
Using the orbit-following code ASCOT, we model alpha particle transport in ITER under the influence of ELM control coils (ECCs), toroidal field ripple, and test blanket modules, wi…
An advection-diffusion model for cross-field runaway electron transport in perturbed magnetic fields
Konsta Särkimäki, Eero Hirvijoki, Joan Decker +2
Disruption-generated runaway electrons (RE) present an outstanding issue for ITER. The predictive computational studies of RE generation rely on orbit-averaged computations and, as…
Monte Carlo method and High Performance Computing for solving Fokker-Planck equation of minority plasma particles
Eero Hirvijoki, Taina Kurki-Suonio, Simppa Äkäslompolo +3
This paper explains how to obtain the distribution function of minority ions in tokamak plasmas using the Monte Carlo method. Since the emphasis is on energetic ions, the guiding-c…
