Simulation of Shattered Pellet Injections with Plasmoid Drifts in ASDEX Upgrade and ITER
O. Vallhagen, L. Antonsson, P. Halldestam +7
Pellet injection is an important means to fuel and control discharges and mitigate disruptions in reactor-scale fusion devices. To accurately assess the efficiency of these applica…
Reduced kinetic modelling of shattered pellet injection in ASDEX Upgrade
Peter Halldestam, Paul Heinrich, Gergely Papp +8
Plasma-terminating disruptions represent a critical outstanding issue for reactor-relevant tokamaks. ITER will use shattered pellet injection (SPI) as its disruption mitigation sys…
An upper pressure limit for low-Z benign termination of runaway electron beams in TCV
M Hoppe, J Decker, U Sheikh +17
We present a model for the particle balance in the post-disruption runaway electron plateau phase of a tokamak discharge. The model is constructed with the help of, and applied to,…
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.…
