Simulations of internal kink modes and sawtooth crashes for SPARC baseline-like scenarios using the M3D-C1 code
W. H. Wang, C. Clauser, C. Liu +2
A relaxed baseline case, based on the SPARC Primary Reference Discharge (PRD) design point, is used to conduct a thorough investigation for the most unstable low- MHD instabilit…

Runaway electron-induced plasma facing component damage in tokamaks
S. Ratynskaia, M. Hoelzl, E. Nardon +31
This Roadmap article addresses the critical and multifaceted challenge of plasma-facing component (PFC) damage caused by runaway electrons (REs) in tokamaks, a phenomenon that pose…

Coupled 2-D MHD and runaway electron fluid simulations of SPARC disruptions
R. Datta, C. Clauser, N. Ferraro +3
Runaway electrons (REs) generated during disruption events in tokamaks can carry mega-Ampere level currents, potentially causing damage to plasma-facing components. Understanding R…
