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…

Turbulent Origin of the Edge Radial Electric Field Asymmetry between Favourable and Unfavourable Drift Configurations

B. J. Frei, R. Bilato, W. Zholobenko +9

We study the influence of the ion magnetic-drift direction relative to the active X-point (favourable and unfavourable configurations) on edge turbulence, transport, and the radial…

Theory for the power threshold of the L-H transition in tokamaks

Brenno De Lucca, Paolo Ricci, Benoit Labit +3

Flux-driven two-fluid simulations in a diverted tokamak exhibit a confinement transition when a critical heating threshold is exceeded, as in experimental observations of the L-H t…

The physics of ELM-free regimes in EUROfusion tokamaks

M. G. Dunne, M. Faitsch, O. Sauter +25

The development of operational scenarios without large Type-I ELMs is of utmost importance for the stable operation and longevity of future tokamaks. The EUROfusion tokamak exploit…

Survey of the Edge Radial Electric Field in L-mode TCV Plasmas using Doppler Backscattering

Sascha Rienäcker, Pascale Hennequin, Laure Vermare +7

A Doppler backscattering (DBS) diagnostic has recently been installed on the Tokamak à Configuration Variable (TCV) to facilitate the study of edge turbulence and flow shear in a v…
