Optimized finite- tokamak-stellarator hybrid configurations achieved by planar dipole-field coils

Yihui Liang, Hengqian Liu, Guodong Yu +3

Tokamak--stellarator hybrids seek to combine tokamak-like compactness and confinement with stellarator-like externally generated rotational transform and steady-state operation. In…

Nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic modeling of ideal ballooning modes in high- Wendelstein 7-X plasmas

Yao Zhou, K. Aleynikova, Chang Liu +1

We present nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of high- Wendelstein 7-X plasmas using the stellarator extension of the M3D- code, building on the recent work th…

Available Energy and Ground States of Convective Hydrodynamic and Hydromagnetic Instabilities

Kaixuan Fan, Yao Zhou

We propose a method for predicting the nonlinear saturation level of convective instabilities in neutral and magnetized fluids. The method combines Gardner's restacking algorithm,…

Direct Numerical Simulations of Oxygen-Flame-Driven Deflagration-to-Detonation Transition in Type Ia Supernovae

Xiaoyu Zhang, Lile Wang, Yang Gao +1

We present direct numerical simulations demonstrating deflagration-to-detonation transition (DDT) driven by oxygen flames in Type Ia supernova progenitors. Using the Castro hydrody…

Benign saturation of ideal ballooning instability in a high-performance stellarator

Yao Zhou, K. Aleynikova, Chang Liu +1

To examine the robustness of the designed 5% -limit for high-performance operation in the W7-X stellarator, we undertake nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of press…
