Integrated modeling of RF-Induced Tungsten Erosion at ICRH Antenna Structures in the WEST Tokamak
A. Kumar, W. Tierens, T. Younkin +14
This paper introduces STRIPE (Simulated Transport of RF Impurity Production and Emission), an advanced modeling framework designed to analyze material erosion and the global transp…
Fluid and kinetic modelling for non-local heat transport in magnetic fusion devices
Guido Ciraolo, Hugo Bufferand, Pierfrancesco Di Cintio +7
In order to improve the presently used ad hoc flux limiter treatment of parallel heat flux transport in edge plasma fluid codes we consider here a generalized version of the Fourie…
Overview of recent physics results from MAST
A Kirk, J Adamek, RJ Akers +160
New results from MAST are presented that focus on validating models in order to extrapolate to future devices. Measurements during start-up experiments have shown how the bulk ion…
Scrape-off layer ion temperature measurements at the divertor target during type III and type I ELMs in MAST measured by RFEA
S. Elmore, S. Y. Allan, G. Fishpool +4
In future nuclear fusion reactors high heat load events, such as edge-localised modes (ELMs), can potentially damage divertor materials and release impurities into the main plasma,…
PoPe (Projection on Proper elements) for code control: verification, numerical convergence and reduced models. Application to plasma turbulence simulations
T Cartier-Michaud, P Ghendrih, Y Sarazin +9
The Projection on Proper elements (PoPe) is a novel method of code control dedicated to 1) checking the correct implementation of models, 2) determining the convergence of numerica…
3D Simulations of Plasma Filaments in the Scrape Off Layer: A Comparison with Models of Reduced Dimensionality
Luke Easy, Fulvio Militello, John Omotani +5
This paper presents simulations of isolated 3D filaments in a slab geometry obtained using a 3D reduced fluid code. First, systematic scans were performed to investigate how the dy…
Scrape-off layer ion temperature measurements at the divertor target in MAST by retarding field energy analyser
S. Elmore, S. Y. Allan, A. Kirk +6
Knowledge of the ion temperature (Ti) is of key importance for determining heat fluxes to the divertor and plasma facing components, however data regarding this is limited compared…
Ion energy measurements on MAST using a midplane RFEA
S. Y. Allan, S. Elmore, A. Kirk +2
Ion energy measurements have been made in the scrape off layer of the Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak (MAST) using a midplane retarding field energy analyser (RFEA) in H-mode plasmas du…
Experimental and numerical characterisation of the turbulence in the Scrape-Off Layer of MAST
F. Militello, P. Tamain, W. Fundamenski +4
Numerical simulations of interchange turbulence in the Scrape-Off Layer are performed in a regime relevant for a specific L-mode MAST (Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak) discharge. Suc…
