Flux pumping and bifurcated relaxations of helical core in 3D magnetohydrodynamic modelling of ASDEX Upgrade plasmas
H. Zhang, M. Hoelzl, I. Krebs +12
Flux pumping was achieved in recent hybrid scenario experiments in the ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) tokamak, which is characterized by a sawtooth-free helical quiescent state and the anomal…
First global gyrokinetic profile predictions of ITER burning plasma
A. Di Siena, C. Bourdelle, A. Bañón Navarro +11
In this work, we present the first global gyrokinetic simulations of the ITER baseline scenario operating at 15 MA using GENE-Tango electrostatic and electromagnetic simulations. T…
FEQIS: A free-boundary equilibrium solver for integrated modeling of tokamak plasmas
E. Fable, G. Tardini, L. Giannone +1
A new axisymmetric equilibrium solver has been written, called FEQIS (Flexible EQuIlibrium Solver), which purpose is to be used inside integrated modeling of tokamak plasmas. The F…
Modelling of shattered pellet injection experiments on the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak
Ansh Patel, Akinobu Matsuyama, Gergely Papp +13
In a shattered pellet injection (SPI) system the penetration and assimilation of the injected material depends on the speed and size distribution of the SPI fragments. ASDEX Upgrad…
Integrated Modeling of SPARC H-mode Scenarios: Exploration of the Impact of Modeling Assumptions on Predicted Performance
Marco Muraca, Pablo Rodriguez-Fernandez, Nathaniel T. Howard +3
In this paper an extensive database of SPARC H-modes confinement predictions has been provided, to assess its variability with respect to few input assumptions. The simulations hav…
