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…
ASCOT: solving the kinetic equation of minority particle species in tokamak plasmas
Eero Hirvijoki, Otto Asunta, Tuomas Koskela +5
A comprehensive description of methods, suitable for solving the kinetic equation for fast ions and impurity species in tokamak plasmas using Monte Carlo approach, is presented. Th…
