Modelling of shattered pellet injection experiments on the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak
Ansh Patel, Akinobu Matsuyama, Gergely Papp +13
In a shattered pellet injection (SPI) system the penetration and assimilation of the injected material depends on the speed and size distribution of the SPI fragments. ASDEX Upgrad…

An upper pressure limit for low-Z benign termination of runaway electron beams in TCV
M Hoppe, J Decker, U Sheikh +17
We present a model for the particle balance in the post-disruption runaway electron plateau phase of a tokamak discharge. The model is constructed with the help of, and applied to,…

Non-linear MHD modelling of shattered pellet injection in ASDEX Upgrade
W. Tang, M. Hoelzl, M. Lehnen +11
Shattered pellet injection (SPI) is selected for the disruption mitigation system in ITER, due to deeper penetration, expected assimilation efficiency and prompt material delivery.…
