High-performance orbit-following code ASCOT5 for Monte Carlo simulations in fusion plasmas
Jari Varje, Konsta Särkimäki, Joona Kontula +5
We present a novel implementation of a Monte Carlo particle-following code for solving the distribution function of minority species in fusion plasmas, called ASCOT5, and verify it…
Validating the ASCOT modelling of NBI fast ions in Wendelstein 7-X stellarator
S. Äkäslompolo, P. Drewelow, Y. Gao +37
The first fast ion experiments in Wendelstein 7-X were performed in 2018. They are one of the first steps in demonstrating the optimised fast ion confinement of the stellarator. Th…
Simulations of fast ion wall loads in ASDEX Upgrade in the presence of magnetic perturbations due to ELM mitigation coils
Otto Asunta, Simppa Äkäslompolo, Taina Kurki-Suonio +4
The effect of ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) ELM mitigation coils on fast ion wall loads was studied with the fast particle following Monte Carlo code ASCOT. Neutral beam injected (NBI) parti…
Calculating the 3D magnetic field of ITER for European TBM studies
Simppa Äkäslompolo, Otto Asunta, Thijs Bergmans +6
The magnetic perturbation due to the ferromagnetic test blanket modules (TBMs) may deteriorate fast ion confinement in ITER. This effect must be quantified by numerical studies in…
Adjoint Monte Carlo calculation of charged plasma particle flux to wall
Simppa Äkäslompolo
This manuscript describes an adjoint/reverse Monte Carlo method to calculate the flux of charged plasma particles to the wall of e.g. a tokamak. Two applications are described: a f…
