AXUV synthetic diagnostic for ASDEX Upgrade and its application for SPI simulations
Ferenc Lengyel, Weikang Tang, Matthias Hölzl +14
We introduce an Absolute eXtended UltraViolet (AXUV) diode-based camera forward-modelling tool to support the validation of mitigated disruption simulations and the interpretation…
Evolution of SPI-induced disruptions in ASDEX Upgrade
P. Heinrich, G. Papp, S. Jachmich +23
Disruptions are a major concern for future fusion reactors based on the tokamak principle. To ensure machine protection, the thermal loads and vessel forces that arise during disru…
Quantitative 3D non-linear simulations of shattered pellet injection in ASDEX Upgrade using JOREK
W. Tang, M. Hoelzl, P. Heinrich +16
Shattered pellet injection (SPI) as primary mitigation method for major disruptions in ITER has a large parameter space available for optimization including the total amount of inj…
Non-linear MHD modelling of shattered pellet injection in ASDEX Upgrade
W. Tang, M. Hoelzl, M. Lehnen +11
Shattered pellet injection (SPI) is selected for the disruption mitigation system in ITER, due to deeper penetration, expected assimilation efficiency and prompt material delivery.…
Simulation of Shattered Pellet Injections with Plasmoid Drifts in ASDEX Upgrade and ITER
O. Vallhagen, L. Antonsson, P. Halldestam +7
Pellet injection is an important means to fuel and control discharges and mitigate disruptions in reactor-scale fusion devices. To accurately assess the efficiency of these applica…
Radiated energy fraction of SPI-induced disruptions at ASDEX Upgrade
Paul Heinrich, Gergely Papp, Stefan Jachmich +15
Future large tokamaks will operate at high plasma currents and high stored plasma energies. To ensure machine protection in case of a sudden loss of plasma confinement (major disru…
