A Model of Tokamak Locked Mode Disruptions
H. R. Strauss
Locked modes are precursors to major disruptions. During locked modes, the temperature decreases in the plasma edge region. This causes the current to contract. A model is given to…
MST Resistive Wall Tearing Mode Simulations
H. R. Strauss, B. E. Chapman, N. C. Hurst
The Madison Symmetric Torus (MST) is a toroidal device that, when operated as a tokamak, is resistant to disruptions. Unlike most tokamaks, the MST plasma is surrounded by a close…
Locked mode disruptions in DIII-D and application to ITER
H. Strauss, B. C. Lyons, M. Knolker
Disruptions are a serious problem in tokamaks, in which thermal and magnetic energy confinement is lost. This paper uses data from the DIII-D experiment, theory, and simulations to…
Thermal Quench in ITER Locked Mode Disruptions
H. Strauss
Simulations and theory are presented of an ITER locked mode thermal quench (TQ). In present experiments, locked mode disruptions have a long precursor phase, followed by a rapid te…
