Electron-Scale-Driven Turbulence by Negative-Density-Gradient in NSTX
C. Clauser, J. Candy, J. Parisi +7
Gyrokinetic simulations of an NSTX spherical-tokamak plasma reveal novel negative-density-gradient (NDG) drift waves at electron-gyroradius-scale that drive turbulent transport com…
Modeling Temperature Profiles in the Pedestal of NSTX with Reduced Models
P. -Y. Li, D. R. Hatch, L. A. Leppin +5
This paper describes new modeling capabilities for predicting H-mode pedestal profiles in spherical tokamaks. Temperature profiles for NSTX discharges 132543 and 132588 are modeled…
Omnigenous stellarator equilibria with enhanced stability
Rahul Gaur, Rory Conlin, David Dickinson +7
To build an economically viable stellarator, it is essential to find a configuration that satisfies a set of favorable properties to achieve efficient steady-state nuclear fusion.…
Simultaneous Enhancement of Tritium Burn Efficiency and Fusion Power with Low-Tritium Spin-Polarized Fuel
J. F. Parisi, A. Diallo, J. A. Schwartz
This study demonstrates that using spin-polarized deuterium-tritium (D-T) fuel with more deuterium than tritium can increase tritium burn efficiency (TBE) by at least an order of m…
Characterization of the ELM-free Negative Triangularity Edge on DIII-D
A. O. Nelson, L. Schmitz, T. Cote +18
Tokamak plasmas with strong negative triangularity (NT) shaping typically exhibit fundamentally different edge behavior than conventional L-mode or H-mode plasmas. Over the entire…
Doubling Fusion Power with Volumetric Optimization in Magnetic Confinement Fusion Devices
J. F. Parisi, J. W. Berkery, A. Sladkomedova +17
A technique, volumetric power optimization, is presented for enhancing the power output of magnetic confinement fusion devices. Applied to a tokamak, this approach involves shiftin…
ELM-free Enhanced Dα H-mode with Near Zero NBI Torque Injection in DIII-D Tokamak
T. Macwan, K. Barada, J. F. Parisi +11
Enhanced H-mode (EDA H-mode), an ELM-free H-mode regime, is explored in neutral beam heated, lower single null plasmas with near zero torque injection. This regime exhibits a…
Kinetic-Ballooning-Bifurcation in Tokamak Pedestals Across Shaping and Aspect-Ratio
J. F. Parisi, A. O. Nelson, R. Gaur +16
We use a new gyrokinetic threshold model to predict a bifurcation in tokamak pedestal width-height scalings that depends strongly on plasma shaping and aspect-ratio. The bifurcatio…
Kinetic-Ballooning-Limited Pedestals in Spherical Tokamak Plasmas
J. F. Parisi, W. Guttenfelder, A. O. Nelson +12
A theoretical model is presented that for the first time matches experimental measurements of the pedestal width-height Diallo scaling in the low-aspect-ratio high- tokamak NSTX…
