Flux pumping and bifurcated relaxations of helical core in 3D magnetohydrodynamic modelling of ASDEX Upgrade plasmas

H. Zhang, M. Hoelzl, I. Krebs +12

Flux pumping was achieved in recent hybrid scenario experiments in the ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) tokamak, which is characterized by a sawtooth-free helical quiescent state and the anomal…

A comparison of low-n Mercier unstable Wendelstein stellarators and quasi-interchange modes in tokamaks

Rohan Ramasamy, Haowei Zhang, Joachim Geiger +5

Mercier's criterion is typically enforced as a hard operational limit in stellarator design. At the same time, past experimental and numerical studies have shown that this limit ma…

Quantitative Magnetohydrodynamic Modelling of Flux Pumping in ASDEX Upgrade

Haowei Zhang, Matthias Hölzl, Isabel Krebs +9

The sawtooth-free hybrid scenario has been achieved recently in ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) with applied non-inductive current sources and auxiliary heating [A. Burckhart et al 2023 Nucl.…

Modelling of saturated external MHD instabilities in tokamaks: a comparison of 3D free boundary equilibria and nonlinear stability calculations

Rohan Ramasamy, Guillermo Bustos Ramirez, Matthias Hoelzl +5

3D free boundary equilibrium computations have recently been used to model external kinks and edge harmonic oscillations (EHOs), comparing with linear MHD stability codes, and nonl…

Nonlinear MHD simulations of external kinks in quasi-axisymmetric stellarators using an axisymmetric external rotational transform approximation

Rohan Ramasamy, Matthias Hoelzl, Erika Strumberger +2

Reduced magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations are used to study the nonlinear dynamics of external kinks in a quasi-axisymmetric (QA) stellarator with varying fractions of external r…

A three-dimensional reduced MHD model consistent with full MHD

Nikita Nikulsin, Matthias Hoelzl, Alessandro Zocco +2

Within the context of a viscoresistive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model with anisotropic heat transport and cross-field mass diffusion, we introduce novel three-term representations…

Non-linear modeling of the plasma response to RMPs in ASDEX Upgrade

F. Orain, M. Hoelzl, E. Viezzer +14

The plasma response to Resonant Magnetic Perturbations (RMPs) in ASDEX Upgrade is modeled with the non-linear resistive MHD code JOREK, using input profiles that match those of the…

Reduced-MHD Simulations of Toroidally and Poloidally Localized ELMs

Matthias Hoelzl, Sibylle Guenter, Ronald P. Wenninger +5

We use the non-linear reduced-MHD code JOREK to study ELMs in the geometry of the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak. Toroidal mode numbers, poloidal filament sizes, and radial propagation spee…
