On energy conservation laws in the drift-reduced Braginskii model
Sergio García Herreros, Brenno de Lucca, Davide Mancini +5
A revision of the drift-reduced Braginskii model is presented, focusing on its practical implementation in numerical codes, and systematically analyzing the effect of several commo…
The L-H transition in tokamaks: power threshold, density minimum and toroidal-field asymmetry
Brenno De Lucca, Paolo Ricci, Benoit Labit +3
The physical mechanism underlying the L--H transition in tokamaks has remained an open problem for over forty years. We present three-dimensional flux-driven two-fluid simulations…
Predictive power-sharing scaling law in double-null L-mode plasmas
K. Lim, P. Ricci, L. Stenger +5
The physical mechanisms regulating the power sharing at the outer targets of L-mode double-null (DN) configurations are investigated using nonlinear, flux-driven, three-dimensional…
Effect of triangularity on plasma turbulence and the SOL-width scaling in L-mode diverted tokamak configurations
Kyungtak Lim, Maurizio Giacomin, Paolo Ricci +5
The effect of triangularity on tokamak boundary plasma turbulence is investigated by using global, flux-driven, three-dimensional, two-fluid simulations. The simulations show that…
