Steady state, core, operational optimization of an ARC-like tokamak via plasma composition and shape
A. Saltzman, P. Rodriguez-Fernandez, A. Ho +8
Impurity composition, plasma shape, and pedestal density all provide strong levers on fusion power. Here, we explore the ways in which their variation changes fusion power and seek…
Accelerating integrated modeling with surrogate-based optimization: the MAESTRO workflow
P. Rodriguez-Fernandez, N. T. Howard, J. Hall +14
This paper introduces the MAESTRO workflow, that enables the coupling of the PORTALS framework [P. Rodriguez-Fernandez et al, Nucl. Fusion 2024] with external solvers for the plasm…
Characterization of reduced-order turbulence models in the L-mode pedestal-forming region in JET
G. Snoep, C. Bourdelle, J. Citrin +7
Linear instability characterization of seven JET discharges just prior to the L-H transition is performed at with the gyrokinetic GENE code. Th…
Available energy of trapped electrons in Miller tokamak equilibria
R. J. J. Mackenbach, J. H. E. Proll, G. Snoep +1
Available energy (Æ), which quantifies the maximum amount of thermal energy that may be liberated and converted into instabilities and turbulence, has shown to be a useful metric f…
