Semi-analytical derivation of the 2D all-FLR ICRH wave equation as a high-order partial differential equation
Dirk Van Eester, Ernesto Lerche
For 1-dimensional applications, Bude's method [Bude et al, Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion, 63 (2021) 035014] has been shown to be capable of accurately solving the all-FLR (Finite La…
ANSYS HFSS as a new numerical tool to study wave propagation inside anisotropic magnetized plasmas in the Ion Cylotron Range of Frequencies
V. Maquet, R. Ragona, D. Van Eester +2
The paper demonstrates the possibility to use ANSYS HFSS as a versatile simulating tool for antennas facing inhomogeneous anisotropic magnetized plasmas in the Ion Cyclotron Range…
New plasma regimes with small ELMs and high confinement at the Joint European Torus
J. Garcia, E. de la Luna, M. Sertoli +15
New plasma regimes with high confinement, low core impurity accumulation and small Edge localized mode (ELMs) perturbations have been obtained close to ITER conditions in magnetica…
A new ICRF scenario for bulk ion heating in D-T plasmas: How to utilize intrinsic impurities in fusion devices in our favour
Y. O. Kazakov, J. Ongena, D. Van Eester +5
A fusion reactor requires plasma pre-heating before the rate of deuterium-tritium fusion reactions becomes significant. In ITER, radiofrequency (RF) heating of 3He ions, additional…
Kinetic description of wave induced plasma flow in the radio frequency domain
Dirk Van Eester, Kristel Crombé, Yevgen Kazakov
A model for ICRH induced flows in the presence of a strong magnetic field is presented. These flows are the finite temperature counterpart of flows existing in cold plasmas describ…
On the Challenge of Plasma Heating with the JET Metallic Wall
M-L Mayoral, V Bobkov, A Czarnecka +39
The major aspects linked to the use of the JET auxiliary heating systems: NBI, ICRF and LHCD, in the new JET ITER-like wall (JET-ILW) are presented. We show that although there wer…
Characterisation of local ICRF heat loads on the JET ILW
P. Jacquet, F. Marcotte, L. Colas +14
When using Ion Cyclotron Range of Frequency (ICRF) heating, enhanced heat-fluxes are commonly observed on some plasma facing components close to the antennas. Experiments have rece…
Effect of impurities on the transition between minority ion and mode conversion ICRH heating in (3He)-H tokamak plasmas
Ye. O. Kazakov, T. Fülöp, D. Van Eester
Hydrogen majority plasmas will be used in the initial non-activated phase of ITER operation. Optimizing ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) in such scenarios will help in achiev…
