Impact of plasma shaping on tokamak microstability
O. Beeke, M. Barnes, M. Romanelli +2
We have used the local- gyrokinetic code GS2 to perform studies of the effect of flux-surface shaping on two highly-shaped, low- and high- JT-60SA-relevant equilibria, inc…
Global scaling of the heat transport in fusion plasmas
Sara Moradi, Johan Anderson, Michele Romanelli +2
A global heat flux model based on a fractional derivative of plasma pressure is proposed for the heat transport in fusion plasmas. The degree of the fractional derivative of the he…
Gyrokinetic projection of the divertor heat-flux width from present tokamaks to ITER
C. S. Chang, S. Ku, A. Loarte +11
The XGC1 edge gyrokinetic code is used for a high fidelity prediction for the width of the heat-flux to divertor plates in attached plasma condition. The simulation results are val…
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…
A novel flexible field-aligned coordinate system for tokamak edge plasma simulation
Jarrod Leddy, Ben Dudson, Michele Romanelli +2
Tokamak plasmas are confined by a magnetic field that limits the particle and heat transport perpendicular to the field. Parallel to the field the ionised particles can move freely…
On the validity of drift-reduced fluid models for tokamak plasma simulation
Jarrod Leddy, Ben Dudson, Michele Romanelli
Drift-reduced plasma fluid models are commonly used in plasma physics for analytics and simulations; however, the validity of such models must be verified for the regions of parame…
