3D simulations of vertical displacement events in tokamaks: A benchmark of M3D-C${}^1$, NIMROD and JOREK

F. J. Artola, C. R. Sovinec, S. C. Jardin +3

In recent years, the nonlinear 3D magnetohydrodynamic codes JOREK, M3D-C${}^1$ and NIMROD developed the capability of modelling realistic 3D vertical displacement events (VDEs) inclu…
