Divertor topology and vacuum vessel design for stellarators

Andrew Giuliani, Raffael Wendlinger, Misha Padidar +4

We present stellarator optimization algorithms for designing the edge magnetic structure in vacuum fields, together with the vacuum vessel. First, we introduce a numerical method t…

Computational studies of giant edge islands and unpaired X-points in HSX and W7-X by manipulating coil currents

Robert Davies, Dieter Boeyaert, Alexis Wolfmeister +3

We present magnetic configurations in the Helically Symmetric eXperiment (HSX) and Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X), in which the edge magnetic structure is dominated by island chains which…

STAR_Lite: A stellarator designed to experimentally validate non-resonant divertors

Georg Friedrich Harrer, Andrew Giuliani, Misha Padidar +3

The non-resonant divertor (NRD) offers a promising exhaust solution for stellarators, combining topological simplicity with resilience to magnetic field perturbations. To experimen…

A quasi-continuous exhaust scenario for a fusion reactor: the renaissance of small edge localized modes

G. F. Harrer, M. Faitsch, L. Radovanovic +13

Tokamak operational regimes with small edge localized modes (ELMs) could be a solution to the problem of large transient heat loads in future fusion reactors because they provide q…

I-mode pedestal relaxation events at ASDEX Upgrade

D. Silvagni, T. Eich, T. Happel +16

The I-mode confinement regime can feature small edge temperature drops that can lead to an increase in the energy deposited onto the divertor targets. In this work, we show that th…
