SPECTRE: A robust solver for 3D equilibria with arbitrary topology
E. Balkovic, J. Loizu, E. Lanti +6
We present SPECTRE, a new equilibrium code based on the Multi-Region relaxed MHD model for robustly calculating 3D equilibria with general magnetic topology, allowing for flux surf…
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.…
Nonlinear MHD modeling of soft limits in W7-AS
Rohan Ramasamy, Ksenia Aleynikova, Nikita Nikulsin +5
An important question for the outlook of stellarator reactors is their robustness against pressure driven modes, and the underlying mechanism behind experimentally observed soft $β…
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…
