How Fusion-Born Alpha Particles Suppress Microturbulence in Burning Plasmas
Alessandro Di Siena, Alejandro Banon Navarro, Pablo Rodriguez-Fernandez +13
A central unresolved question in fusion energy research is whether energetic alpha particles, the primary products of deuterium-tritium fusion reactions, enhance or degrade plasma…
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…
First global gyrokinetic profile predictions of ITER burning plasma
A. Di Siena, C. Bourdelle, A. Bañón Navarro +11
In this work, we present the first global gyrokinetic simulations of the ITER baseline scenario operating at 15 MA using GENE-Tango electrostatic and electromagnetic simulations. T…
Duqtools: Dynamic uncertainty quantification for Tokamak reactor simulations modelling
Victor Azizi, Stef Smeets, Florian Koechl +3
Large scale validation and uncertainty quantification are essential in the experimental design, control, and operations of fusion reactors. Reduced models and increasing computatio…
Access and sustainment of ELMy H-mode operation for ITER Pre-Fusion Power Operation plasmas using JINTRAC
E. Tholerus, L. Garzotti, V. Parail +15
In the initial stages of ITER operation, ELM mitigation systems need to be commissioned. This requires controlled flat-top operation in type-I ELMy H-mode regimes. Hydrogen or heli…
