Non-dimensional confinement scaling in similar negative triangularity plasmas on the DIII-D and TCV tokamaks
A. Marinoni, C. Chrystal, S. Coda +25
Similarity experiments were performed on the DIII-D and TCV tokamaks to explore the scaling of energy confinement in negative triangularity plasmas using non-dimensional variables.…
Divertor Detachment Characterization in Negative Triangularity Discharges in DIII-D via 2D Edge-Plasma Transport Modeling
Menglong Zhao, Filippo Scotti, Thomas Rognlien +6
Edge fluid modeling of the first divertor-plasma detachment experiments in negative triangularity discharges on DIII-D is presented using the 2D multi-fluid code UEDGE, including c…
Disentangling Core and Edge Mechanisms of the Density Limit in DIII-D Negative Triangularity Plasmas
R. Hong, P. H. Diamond, O. Sauter +14
The density limit is investigated in the DIII-D negative triangularity (NT) plasmas which lack a standard H-mode edge. We find the limit may not be a singular disruptive boundary b…
Edge Radial Electric Field in Positive and Negative Triangularity Plasmas in the TCV Tokamak
S. Rienäcker, P. Hennequin, L. Vermare +10
We present the first edge measurements in negative triangularity (NT) TCV plasmas. The Doppler backscattering measurements of reveal a significant imp…
Operation above the Greenwald density limit in high performance DIII-D negative triangularity discharges
O Sauter, R. Hong, A. Marinoni +9
The density limit in strongly-shaped negative triangularity (NT) discharges is studied experimentally in the DIII-D tokamak. Record-high Greenwald fractions are obtained, usi…
Accelerating the Fusion Workforce
Carlos Paz-Soldan, Eva Belonohy, Troy Carter +11
The fusion energy research and development landscape has seen significant advances in recent years, with important scientific and technological breakthroughs and a rapid rise of in…
