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…
Extending the trapping theorem to provide local stability guarantees for quadratically nonlinear models
Mai Peng, Alan Kaptanoglu, Chris Hansen +3
The Navier Stokes equations (NSEs) are partial differential equations (PDEs) to describe the nonlinear convective motion of fluids and they are computationally expensive to simulat…
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…
