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…
Kinetic Equilibrium Prediction at TCV using RAPTOR and FBT
C. E. Contré, A. Merle, O. Sauter +13
We present results from a new Kinetic-Equilibrium Prediction (KEP) workflow and shot preparation for full TCV discharges, by coupling predict-first RAPTOR transport simulations wit…
