First step toward multi machine ELM energy scalings and extrapolations to SPARC and ITER
R. Perillo, A. Redl, T. Eich +14
It is shown that the ELM energy loss normalized by the plasma stored energy (ΔEELM/Wplasma) for high-density small/QCE ELM regimes scales inversely with the separatrix turbulence p…
Non-dimensional confinement scaling in similar negative triangularity plasmas on the DIII-D and TCV tokamaks
A. Marinoni, C. Chrystal, S. Coda +25
Similarity experiments were performed on the DIII-D and TCV tokamaks to explore the scaling of energy confinement in negative triangularity plasmas using non-dimensional variables.…
Turbulent Transport-Limited Pedestals in Tokamaks
J. F. Parisi, D. R. Hatch, P. Y. Li +5
H-mode operation of tokamak fusion plasmas free of dangerous Type 1 edge-localized-modes (ELMs) requires a non-ELM mechanism for saturating the edge pedestal growth. One possible m…
Prediction of ELM-free Operation in Spherical Tokamaks With High Plasma Squareness
J. F. Parisi, J. W. Berkery, K. Imada +5
We predict that high plasma squareness in spherical tokamaks (STs) could result in edge-localized-mode (ELM)-free H-mode. The effect of squareness on gyrokinetic and peeling-balloo…
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…
Assessment of vertical stability for negative triangularity pilot plants
S. Guizzo, A. O. Nelson, C. Hansen +2
Negative triangularity (NT) tokamak configurations may be more susceptible to magneto-hydrodynamic instability, posing challenges for recent reactor designs centered around their f…
Stability and Transport of Gyrokinetic Critical Pedestals
J. F. Parisi, A. O. Nelson, W. Guttenfelder +11
A gyrokinetic threshold model for pedestal width-height scaling prediction is applied to multiple devices and to a shaping and aspect-ratio scan giving $Δ_{\mathrm{ped}} = 0.92 A^{…
Implications of Vertical Stability Control on the SPARC Tokamak
A. O. Nelson, D. T. Garnier, D. J. Battaglia +5
To achieve its performance goals, SPARC plans to operate in equilibrium configurations with a strong elongation of , destabilizing the vertical inst…
Kinetic-Ballooning-Bifurcation in Tokamak Pedestals Across Shaping and Aspect-Ratio
J. F. Parisi, A. O. Nelson, R. Gaur +16
We use a new gyrokinetic threshold model to predict a bifurcation in tokamak pedestal width-height scalings that depends strongly on plasma shaping and aspect-ratio. The bifurcatio…
Kinetic-Ballooning-Limited Pedestals in Spherical Tokamak Plasmas
J. F. Parisi, W. Guttenfelder, A. O. Nelson +12
A theoretical model is presented that for the first time matches experimental measurements of the pedestal width-height Diallo scaling in the low-aspect-ratio high- tokamak NSTX…
Application of the Scrape-Off-Layer Fast Ion (SOLFI) code to assess particle motion in mirrors and tokamaks
X. Zhang, N. A. Lopez, A. O. Nelson +2
This paper introduces the Scrape-Off-Layer Fast Ion (SOLFI) code, which is a new and versatile full-orbit Monte Carlo particle tracer developed to follow fast ion orbits inside and…
