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…
Numerical implications of including drifts in SOLPS-ITER simulations of EAST
Dieter Boeyaert, Stefano Carli, Wouter Dekeyser +2
The inclusion of drifts in plasma edge codes like SOLPS-ITER is required to match simulation data with experimental profiles. However, this remains numerically challenging. In this…
Analysis of the neutral fluxes in the divertor region of Wendelstein 7-X under attached and detached conditions using EMC3-EIRENE
Dieter Boeyaerta, Yuhe Feng, Heinke Frerichs +14
This paper analyzes the neutral fluxes in the divertor region of the W7-X standard configuration for different input powers, both under attached and detached conditions. The perfor…
