Turbulent Transport-Limited Pedestals in Tokamaks
J. F. Parisi, D. R. Hatch, P. Y. Li +5
H-mode operation of tokamak fusion plasmas free of dangerous Type 1 edge-localized-modes (ELMs) requires a non-ELM mechanism for saturating the edge pedestal growth. One possible m…
Prediction of ELM-free Operation in Spherical Tokamaks With High Plasma Squareness
J. F. Parisi, J. W. Berkery, K. Imada +5
We predict that high plasma squareness in spherical tokamaks (STs) could result in edge-localized-mode (ELM)-free H-mode. The effect of squareness on gyrokinetic and peeling-balloo…
HIPED: Machine Learning Framework for Spherical Tokamak Pedestal Prediction and Optimization
J. F. Parisi, J. G. Clark, J. W. Berkery +4
We introduce a Machine Learning framework, HIPED (HeIght and width Predictor for Edge Dynamics), for predicting and optimizing pedestal and core performance in spherical tokamak pl…
Design of a Thomson scattering diagnostic for the SMART tokamak
M. Kaur, A. Diallo, B. LeBlanc +8
We describe the design of a Thomson scattering (TS) diagnostic to be used on the SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak (SMART). SMART is a spherical tokamak being commissioned in Spain that a…
Stability and Transport of Gyrokinetic Critical Pedestals
J. F. Parisi, A. O. Nelson, W. Guttenfelder +11
A gyrokinetic threshold model for pedestal width-height scaling prediction is applied to multiple devices and to a shaping and aspect-ratio scan giving $Δ_{\mathrm{ped}} = 0.92 A^{…
