Biot Savart Law integrator BioSaw
Simppa Äkäslompolo, Tuomas Koskela, Taina Kurki-Suonio
This contribution documents the methods used in the BioSaw code. The code is inteded to be a flexible tool for calculating magnetic fields due to coils in magnetic confinement fusi…
Monte Carlo method and High Performance Computing for solving Fokker-Planck equation of minority plasma particles
Eero Hirvijoki, Taina Kurki-Suonio, Simppa Äkäslompolo +3
This paper explains how to obtain the distribution function of minority ions in tokamak plasmas using the Monte Carlo method. Since the emphasis is on energetic ions, the guiding-c…
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 Simulation of Fusion Product Activation Probe Experiment in ASDEX Upgrade tokamak
Simppa Äkäslompolo, Georges Bonheure, Giovanni Tardini +1
The activation probe is a robust tool to measure flux of fusion products from a magnetically confined plasma. A carefully chosen solid sample is exposed to the flux, and the imping…
