Modeling of Particle Transport, Neutrals and Radiation in Magnetically-Confined Plasmas with Aurora
F. Sciortino, T. Odstrčil, A. Cavallaro +8
We present Aurora, an open-source package for particle transport, neutrals and radiation modeling in magnetic confinement fusion plasmas. Aurora's modern multi-language interface e…

Inference of Experimental Radial Impurity Transport on Alcator C-Mod: Bayesian Parameter Estimation and Model Selection
F. Sciortino, N. T. Howard, E. S. Marmar +11
We present a fully Bayesian approach for the inference of radial profiles of impurity transport coefficients and compare its results to neoclassical, gyrofluid and gyrokinetic mode…

Dependence of alpha-particle-driven Alfvén eigenmode linear stability on device magnetic field strength and consequences for next-generation tokamaks
E. A. Tolman, N. F. Loureiro, P. Rodrigues +2
Recently-proposed tokamak concepts use magnetic fields up to 12 T, far higher than in conventional devices, to reduce size and cost. Theoretical and computational study of trends i…
