Parameter-free prediction of irradiation defect structures in tungsten at room temperature using stochastic cluster dynamics
Sicong He, Brandon Schwendeman, George Tynan +1
The foundations of irradiation damage theory were laid in the 1950s and 60s within the framework of chemical reaction kinetics. While helpful to analyze qualitative aspects of irra…
Physics-Informed Unit Commitment Framework for Nuclear Reactors
Shiny Choudhury, Michael Davidson, George Tynan
Nuclear reactors are often modeled as inflexible baseload generators with fixed downtimes and restrictive ramping constraints. In practice, however, a reactor's operational flexibi…
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…
Determination of confinement regime boundaries via separatrix parameters on Alcator C-Mod based on a model for interchange-drift-Alfvén turbulence
M. A. Miller, J. W. Hughes, T. Eich +13
The separatrix operational space (SepOS) model [Eich \& Manz, \emph{Nuclear Fusion} (2021)] is shown to predict the L-H transition, the L-mode density limit, and the ideal MHD ball…
