Compact Experimental Negative TriAngUlarity Reactor (CENTAUR): A design study for a compact, affordable breakeven tokamak
The CENTAUR Collaboration, Samuel W. Freiberger, Evan Bursch +33
This work presents the compact experimental negative triangularity reactor (CENTAUR), a low overnight cost, high-field tokamak, breakeven reactor design, achieving a predicted tota…
Tearing Stability Prediction Combining Toroidal Calculations With a Two-Fluid Slab Layer
D. A. Burgess, N. C. Logan, J. -K. Park +1
A new classical TM stability simulation workflow has been developed that solves the resistive inner-layer equations in a plasma slab to yield a linear, quasi-toroidal TM growth rat…
Variability of MHD Instabilities in Benign Termination of High-Current Runaway Electron Beams in the JET and DIII-D Tokamaks
C. F. B. Zimmermann, C. Paz-Soldan, G. Su +14
Benign termination, in which magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities deconfine runaway electrons (REs) following hydrogenic injections, is a promising strategy for mitigating dange…
ThinCurr: An open-source 3D thin-wall eddy current modeling code for the analysis of large-scale systems of conducting structures
Christopher Hansen, Alexander Battey, Anson Braun +5
In this paper we present a new thin-wall eddy current modeling code, ThinCurr, for studying inductively-coupled currents in 3D conducting structures -- with primary application foc…
Error Field Predictability and Consequences for ITER
Matthew Pharr, Nikolas Logan, Carlos Paz-Soldan +2
ITER coil tolerances are re-evaluated using the modern understanding of coupling to least-stable plasma modes and an updated center-line-traced model of ITER's coil windings. This…
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…
TokaMaker: An open-source time-dependent Grad-Shafranov tool for the design and modeling of axisymmetric fusion devices
C. Hansen, I. G. Stewart, D. Burgess +5
In this paper, we present a new static and time-dependent MagnetoHydroDynamic (MHD) equilibrium code, TokaMaker, for axisymmetric configurations of magnetized plasmas, based on the…
Design of Passive and Structural Conductors for Tokamaks Using Thin-Wall Eddy Current Modeling
A. F. Battey, C. Hansen, D. Garnier +5
A new three-dimensional electromagnetic modeling tool ThinCurr has been developed using the existing PSI-Tet finite-element code in support of conducting structure design work for…
Equilibrium reconstruction with 3D eddy currents in the Lithium Tokamak eXperiment
C. Hansen, D. P. Boyle, J. C. Schmitt +1
Axisymmetric free-boundary equilibrium reconstructions of tokamak plasmas in the Lithium Tokamak eXperiment (LTX) are performed using the PSI-Tri equilibrium code. Reconstructions…
