Harnessing Toroidal Neutral Flows to Enhance Divertor Particle Exhaust
M. Moscheni, A. Herrmann, J. D. Lore +5
In 1991 Reiter et al. (1991 Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 33 1579) considered the onerous exhaust requirements of ITER, and wrote: "The vacuum pumping problem of a fusion reactor wi…
Multi-Machine Scaling Laws for Fuel and Impurity Puffing Rates Sufficient for Detachment Access: a Systematic Review of Magnetic Confinement Fusion Devices
M. Moscheni, A. Herrmann, R. Kembleton +8
An open-source database of 457 experimental and numerical entries representing 32 machinesincluding tokamaks, stellarators, and linear plasma devicesis assembled. From this d…
Validation of Hermes-3 turbulence simulations against the TCV-X21 diverted L-mode reference case
B D Dudson, M Kryjak, H Muhammed +1
Electrostatic flux-driven turbulence simulations with the Hermes-3 code are performed in TCV L-mode conditions in forward and reversed toroidal field configurations, and compared t…
Detachment scalings derived from 1D scrape-off-layer simulations
Thomas Body, Thomas Eich, Adam Q Kuang +4
Fusion power plants will require detachment to mitigate sputtering and keep divertor heat fluxes at tolerable levels. Controlling detachment on these devices may require the use of…
Evolution of radiation profiles in a strongly baffled divertor on MAST Upgrade
Fabio Federici, Matthew L. Reinke, Bruce Lipschultz +11
Plasma detachment involves interactions of the plasma with impurities and neutral particles, leading to significant losses of plasma power, momentum, and particles. Accurate mappin…
