FORESAIL-1 cubesat mission to measure radiation belt losses and demonstrate de-orbiting
FORESAIL collaboration, M. Palmroth, J. Praks +57
Today, the near-Earth space is facing a paradigm change as the number of new spacecraft is literally sky-rocketing. Increasing numbers of small satellites threaten the sustainable…
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…
