Integrated full pulse modeling for pellet injection in tokamaks: HPI2 model improvement and validation in WEST
A. Panera Alvarez, F. Koechl, J. Artaud +6
Reliable modeling and control of core density is essential for reactor-relevant magnetic confinement fusion operation, motivating cryogenic pellet injection as a primary fueling ac…
Modeling of runaway electron induced damage on boron-nitride tiles in WEST
Tommaso Rizzi, Svetlana Ratynskaia, Panagiotis Tolias +9
The runaway electron (RE) - induced damage on boron nitride (BN) tiles mounted on the inner bumpers of the WEST tokamak is modeled employing available empirical input and experimen…
Analysis of RF Sheath-Driven Tungsten Erosion at RF Antenna in the WEST Tokamak
A. Kumar, W. Tierens, T. Younkin +14
This study applies the newly developed STRIPE (Simulated Transport of RF Impurity Production and Emission) framework to interpret tungsten (W) erosion at RF antenna structures in t…
Gyrokinetic prediction of core tungsten peaking in a WEST plasma with nitrogen impurities
J. Dominski, P. Maget, O. Manas +7
Tungsten peaking is predicted in the core of a WEST plasma with total-f gyrokinetic simulations, including both collisional and turbulent transport. This prediction is validated wi…
