Equation Recast for Canonical Operator Learning Across Parametric PDEs

Qiyun Cheng, Valentin Duruisseaux, Cesar F. Clauser +7

Learning solution operators across broad parameter ranges can require substantial coverage of both input functions and physical parameters, particularly for purely data-driven para…

Physics Attention Transformer Surrogate for Rapid Vertical Instability Growth Rate Prediction: Alcator C-Mod to SPARC

Arunav Kumar, Cesar Clauser, Theodore Golfinopoulos +5

In this work, we investigate rapid prediction of the dominant vertical instability growth rate in C-Mod and SPARC equilibria, where nonrigid free boundary response models a…

On the feasibility of model-based feedback control of vertical instability growth rate using out-vessel coils in ARC-like scenarios

Arunav Kumar, Cesar Clauser, Theodore Golfinopoulos +1

In this work, we propose a model-based feedback controller that regulates the vertical instability growth rate () of a high-elongation, double-null tokamak directly, using…

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…

Simulations of internal kink modes and sawtooth crashes for SPARC baseline-like scenarios using the M3D-C1 code

W. H. Wang, C. Clauser, C. Liu +2

A relaxed baseline case, based on the Primary Reference Discharge (PRD) design point, is used to conduct a first dedicated investigation for the most unstable low- MHD instabili…

Modeling the effect of MHD activity on runaway electron generation during SPARC disruptions

R Datta, C Clauser, N Ferraro +2

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities and runaway electrons (REs) interact in several ways, making it important to self-consistently model these interactions for accurate predict…

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^{…

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…
