High-order coupling of shear and sonic continua in JET plasmas
Paulo Rodrigues, Duarte Borba, Francesca Cella +8
A recent model coupling the shear-Alfvén and acoustic continua, which depends strongly on the equilibrium shaping and on elongation in particular, is employed to explain the proper…
Global scaling of the heat transport in fusion plasmas
Sara Moradi, Johan Anderson, Michele Romanelli +2
A global heat flux model based on a fractional derivative of plasma pressure is proposed for the heat transport in fusion plasmas. The degree of the fractional derivative of the he…
Pseudo-Spectrum of the Resistive Magneto-hydrodynamics Operator: Resolving the Resistive Alfven Paradox
D. Borba, K. S. Riedel, W. Kerner +3
The `Alfvén Paradox' is that as resistivity decreases, the discrete eigenmodes do not converge to the generalized eigenmodes of the ideal Alfvén continuum. To resolve the paradox,…
Comprehensive evaluation of the linear stability of Alfvén eigenmodes driven by alpha particles in an ITER baseline scenario
A. C. A. Figueiredo, P. Rodrigues, D. Borba +8
The linear stability of Alfvén eigenmodes in the presence of fusion-born alpha particles is thoroughly assessed for two variants of an ITER baseline scenario, which differ signific…
Sensitivity of alpha-particle-driven Alfven eigenmodes to q-profile variation in ITER scenarios
P. Rodrigues, A. C. A. Figueiredo, D. Borba +8
A perturbative hybrid ideal-MHD/drift-kinetic approach to assess the stability of alpha-particle-driven Alfven eigenmodes in burning plasmas is used to show that certain foreseen I…
A systematic approach to the linear-stability assessment of Alfvén eigenmodes in the presence of fusion-born alpha particles for ITER-like equilibria
P. Rodrigues, A. Figueiredo, J. Ferreira +6
A systematic approach to assess the linear stability of Alfvén eigenmodes in the presence of fusion-born alpha particles is described. Because experimental results for ITER are not…
Energetic particle instabilities in fusion plasmas
S E Sharapov, B Alper, H L Berk +41
Remarkable progress has been made in diagnosing energetic particle instabilities on present-day machines and in establishing a theoretical framework for describing them. This overv…
