The Negative Triangularity Tokamak Path for Fusion Pilot Plants: Experimental Progress and Future Prospects
K. E. Thome, M. E. Austin, S. Coda +8
This paper reviews the experimental progress of negative triangularity (NT), a tokamak configuration where the poloidal cross-section is a reversed-D shape compared to the conventi…
Integrating Gyrokinetic Flux Predictions with Ideal MHD Stability Boundaries
J. McClenaghan, K. E. Thome, T. F. Neiser +5
Accurate prediction of pedestal height and width in tokamaks remains a critical issue as it strongly influences the predicted plasma performance of all future reactors. We present…
Sensitivities of time-dependent temperature profile predictions for NSTX with the Multi-Mode Model
J. B. Lestz, G. Avdeeva, S. M. Kaye +5
The Multi-Mode Model (MMM) for turbulent transport was applied to a large set of well-analyzed discharges from the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) in order to evaluate i…
Assessing time-dependent temperature profile predictions using reduced transport models for high performing NSTX plasmas
J. B. Lestz, G. Avdeeva, T. F. Neiser +6
Time-dependent, predictive simulations were performed with the 1.5D tokamak integrated modeling code TRANSP on a large set of well-analyzed, high performing discharges from the Nat…
