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…
Infrared Thermography in the Tokamak à Configuration Variable
M. Zurita, H. Reimerdes, C. Colandrea +9
In the Tokamak à Configuration Variable (TCV), infrared thermography (IR) is currently composed of the horizontal, vertical, and tangential infrared systems (HIR, VIR, TIR), which…
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.…
Real-time Tomography-based Bayesian Inference from TCV Bolometry Data
D. Hamm, C. Theiler, L. Simons +3
Radiated power information is crucial to diagnose and optimize the performance of fusion plasmas. Traditionally, at the TCV tokamak, radiated power analysis has only ever been poss…
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…
Variability of MHD Instabilities in Benign Termination of High-Current Runaway Electron Beams in the JET and DIII-D Tokamaks
C. F. B. Zimmermann, C. Paz-Soldan, G. Su +14
Benign termination, in which magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities deconfine runaway electrons (REs) following hydrogenic injections, is a promising strategy for mitigating dange…
