Nonlinear kinetic closures for linear instabilities

Elizabeth J. Paul, Archis Joglekar, Alexey Knyazev

Landau fluid closures are linear in the evolved moments. We examine the consequences of relaxing linearity. As an example, we introduce the nonlinear exact kinetic response closure…

Feasibility of a Flexible, Hybrid Tokamak-Stellarator Experiment using an Axisymmetric Dipole Coil Array

Jacob Halpern, Mohammed Haque, Elizabeth Paul +5

We demonstrate the design of a flexible, university-scale hybrid tokamak-stellarator experiment based on an axisymmetric array of planar HTS dipole coils. Because the coil array ha…

FIRM3D: Fast ion reduced models in 3D

Elizabeth Paul, Alexey Knyazev, Michael Czekanski +4

The dynamics of energetic particle (EP) species, born from fusion reactions or plasma heating schemes, are critical for predicting the behavior of magnetic confinement fusion exper…

Stellarator island divertor shape optimization for reduced peak heat fluxes

Avigdor Veksler, Aaron Bader, Heinke Frerichs +1

An automated algorithm to construct island divertors for stellarators is presented and is used to find divertors that meet heat load requirements determined by material limits. The…

Update on the design of the Columbia Stellarator eXperiment

Antoine Baillod, Avigdor Veksler, Rohan Lopez +4

We present the final configuration chosen to be build for the Columbia Stellarator eXperiment (CSX), a new stellartor experiment at Columbia University. In a recent publication, Ba…

The Geometry of Flux Surfaces with Quasi-Poloidal Symmetry

Rishin Madan, Wrick Sengupta, Elizabeth J. Paul +4

Quasi-poloidal (QP) magnetic fields have desirable properties for confining plasma: no radial drift of guiding centres (with positive implications for neoclassical transport), zero…
