Validation of geometric proxies using negative and positive triangularity plasmas with varying elongation on TCV and multi-machine gyrokinetic simulations
Alessandro Balestri, Justin Ball, Stefano Coda +7
Negative Triangularity (NT) tokamak plasmas can achieve H-mode-like confinement while avoiding Edge Localized Modes, making them an attractive reactor scenario. Predicting in which…
On the interplay between plasma triangularity and micro-tearing turbulence
Alessandro Balestri, Justin Ball, Stefano Coda
In this work, we study the interplay between triangularity and micro-tearing turbulence using linear and nonlinear flux tube GENE simulations. We consider scenarios with negative a…
On the feasibility of Ohmically heated negative triangularity tokamak power plants
Alessandro Balestri, Justin Ball, Stefano Coda
Negative triangularity tokamak plasmas feature naturally enhanced confinement in the so-called L-mode regime, irrespective of the power of external heating. This is in contrast to…
Doubling Fusion Power with Volumetric Optimization in Magnetic Confinement Fusion Devices
J. F. Parisi, J. W. Berkery, A. Sladkomedova +17
A technique, volumetric power optimization, is presented for enhancing the power output of magnetic confinement fusion devices. Applied to a tokamak, this approach involves shiftin…
Physical insights from the aspect ratio dependence of turbulence in negative triangularity plasmas
Alessandro Balestri, Justin Ball, Stefano Coda +3
In this work, we study the impact of aspect ratio A = R0 /r (the ratio of major radius R0 to minor radius r) on the confinement benefits of Negative Triangularity (NT) plasma shapi…
