Steady state, core, operational optimization of an ARC-like tokamak via plasma composition and shape
A. Saltzman, P. Rodriguez-Fernandez, A. Ho +8
Impurity composition, plasma shape, and pedestal density all provide strong levers on fusion power. Here, we explore the ways in which their variation changes fusion power and seek…
The impact of kinetic and global effects on ballooning 2nd stable pedestals of conventional and low aspect ratio tokamaks
M. S. Anastopoulos Tzanis, M. Yang, A. Kleiner +3
The EPED model [P.B. Snyder et al 2011 Nucl. Fusion 51 103016] had success describing the pedestals of the Type-I ELM and QH-mode operations in conventional tokamaks, by combining…
Validation of the GFS model for Gyrokinetic Stability of NSTX Pedestal Data
M. Yang, J. F. Parisi, M. S. Anastopoulos Tzanis +1
This study presents a large database validation of the Gyro Fluid System (GFS) model for linear gyrokinetic stability for high-mode (H-mode) edge transport barrier conditions in th…
Transport Characteristics and Modelling of ST40 Hot Ion Plasmas
MS Anastopoulos Tzanis, MR Hardman, Y Zhang +14
In this paper, the turbulent transport properties of ST40 hot ion plasmas are examined and fully predictive time evolving modelling of a hot ion plasma pulse was performed. Underst…
