Robust stellarator optimization via flat mirror magnetic fields
J. L. Velasco, I. Calvo, E. Sánchez +1
Stellarator magnetic configurations need to be optimized in order to meet all the required properties of a fusion reactor. In this work, it is shown that a flat-mirror quasi-isodyn…
Validating and optimising mismatch tolerance of Doppler backscattering measurements with the beam model
Valerian H. Hall-Chen, Julius Damba, Felix I. Parra +11
We use the beam model of Doppler backscattering (DBS), which was previously derived from beam tracing and the reciprocity theorem, to shed light on mismatch attenuation. This atten…
A model for the fast evaluation of prompt losses of energetic ions in stellarators
J. L. Velasco, I. Calvo, S. Mulas +4
A good understanding of the confinement of energetic ions in non-axisymmetric magnetic fields is key for the design of reactors based on the stellarator concept. In this work, we d…
Fast simulations for large aspect ratio stellarators with the neoclassical code KNOSOS
J. L. Velasco, I. Calvo, F. I. Parra +5
In this work, a new version of KNOSOS is presented. KNOSOS is a low-collisionality radially-local, bounce-averaged neoclassical code that is extremely fast, and at the same time, i…
Turbulent transport of impurities in 3D devices
J. M. García-Regaña, M. Barnes, I. Calvo +5
A large diffusive turbulent contribution to the radial impurity transport in Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) plasmas has been experimentally inferred during the first campaigns and numerica…
Turbulent impurity transport simulations in Wendelstein 7-X plasmas
J. M. García-Regaña, M. Barnes, I. Calvo +8
A study of turbulent impurity transport by means of quasilinear and nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations is presented for Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X). The calculations have been carried ou…
