Hybrid Kinetic-MHD Simulations of Drift-Orbit Effects on the Stability and Non-Linear Dynamics of Runaway Electron Beams

Shi-Jie Liu, Hao-Wei Zhang, Hannes Bergstroem +2

During tokamak disruptions, the Ohmic current may be replaced by a non-inductive runaway electron (RE) current, affecting resistive stability. Previous studies suggest that, in the…

Implementation and verification of the avalanche source in a 3D full-f particle-in-cell model of relativistic electrons for studies of tokamak disruptions

Fiona Wouters, Hannes Bergström, Matthias Hoelzl +3

Disruptions threaten tokamak operation not only because of large in-vessel forces and thermal heat loads, but also because some electrons may be accelerated to relativistic energie…

Thermal resilience of the ITER tungsten first wall to runaway electron impact

S. Ratynskaia, K. Paschalidis, T. Rizzi +7

The fast volumetric deposition of multi-MeV high current runaway electron (RE) beams constitutes the most critical issue for the ITER tungsten (W) first wall (FW) longevity. Such r…

Runaway electron-induced plasma facing component damage in tokamaks

S. Ratynskaia, M. Hoelzl, E. Nardon +31

This Roadmap article addresses the critical and multifaceted challenge of plasma-facing component (PFC) damage caused by runaway electrons (REs) in tokamaks, a phenomenon that pose…

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.…
