Computational studies of giant edge islands and unpaired X-points in HSX and W7-X by manipulating coil currents
Robert Davies, Dieter Boeyaert, Alexis Wolfmeister +3
We present magnetic configurations in the Helically Symmetric eXperiment (HSX) and Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X), in which the edge magnetic structure is dominated by island chains which…
FIREFLY: heat load and particle exhaust approximations for rapid evaluation of divertor designs
Heinke Frerichs, Dieter Boeyaert, Yuhe Feng +1
The divertor in a magnetic confinement fusion reactor is an essential component for power dissipation and particle removal. The FIREFLY package for rapid evaluation of divertor des…
The effect of neon seeding on plasma edge transport in EAST
Dieter Boeyaert, Stefano Carli, Wouter Dekeyser +6
The effect of neon seeding on different transport mechanisms in EAST is investigated by analyzing SOLPSITER simulations. By evaluating the agreement between experimental observatio…
Magnetic mesh generation and field line reconstruction for scrape-off layer and divertor modeling in stellarators
H. Frerichs, D. Boeyaert, Y. Feng +1
The design of divertor targets and baffles for optimal heat and particle exhaust from magnetically confined fusion plasmas requires a combination of fast, low-fidelity models (such…
