Deep electric field predictions by drift-reduced Braginskii theory with plasma-neutral interactions based upon experimental images of boundary turbulence

Abhilash Mathews, Jerry Hughes, James Terry +1

We present 2-dimensional turbulent electric field calculations via physics-informed deep learning consistent with (i) drift-reduced Braginskii theory under the framework of an axis…

Deep modelling of plasma and neutral fluctuations from gas puff turbulence imaging

A. Mathews, J. L. Terry, S. G. Baek +8

The role of turbulence in setting boundary plasma conditions is presently a key uncertainty in projecting to fusion energy reactors. To robustly diagnose edge turbulence, we develo…

Tracking Blobs in the Turbulent Edge Plasma of a Tokamak Fusion Device

Woonghee Han, Randall A. Pietersen, Rafael Villamor-Lora +7

The analysis of turbulence in plasmas is fundamental in fusion research. Despite extensive progress in theoretical modeling in the past 15 years, we still lack a complete and consi…

Comparison between mirror Langmuir probe and gas puff imaging measurements of intermittent fluctuations in the Alcator C-Mod scrape-off layer

R. Kube, A. Theodorsen, O. E. Garcia +3

Statistical properties of the scrape-off layer (SOL) plasma fluctuations are studied in ohmically heated plasmas in the Alcator C-Mod tokamak. For the first time, plasma fluctuatio…

Universality of Poisson-driven plasma fluctuations in the Alcator C-Mod scrape-off layer

A. Theodorsen, O. E. Garcia, R. Kube +2

Large-amplitude, intermittent fluctuations are ubiquitous in the boundary region of magnetically confined plasmas and lead to detrimental plasma-wall interactions in the next-gener…

Characterization of SOL Plasma Flows and Potentials in Alcator C-Mod

R. Hong, S. J. Wukitch, Y. Lin +4

Gas-puff imaging techniques are employed to determine the far SOL region radial electric field and the plasma potential in ICRF heated discharges in the Alcator C-Mod tokamak. The…
