Energetic-particle orbits near rational flux surfaces in stellarators: I. Passing particles
Thomas E. Foster, Felix I. Parra, Roscoe B. White +3
Recent simulations have shown that, even when the magnetic field of a stellarator possesses nested toroidal flux surfaces, the orbits of passing energetic particles can exhibit isl…
Modification of ion-temperature-gradient turbulence by impurities in stellarator plasmas
Ivan Calvo, Felix I. Parra, Hanne Thienpondt +1
Recent nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations have shown that impurities can strongly modify the turbulent heat flux in stellarator plasmas. Here, the ion-temperature-gradient (ITG) dis…
Characteristics of monotonic sheaths near a wall with grazing magnetic incidence
Alessandro Geraldini, Robert J. Ewart, Stephan Brunner +1
We consider a magnetised plasma in contact with an absorbing planar wall, where the angle between the magnetic field and the wall is small, (in radians) and the system…
Piecewise omnigenous stellarators with zero bootstrap current
Ivan Calvo, Jose Luis Velasco, Per Helander +1
Until now, quasi-isodynamic magnetic fields have been the only known stellarator configurations that, at low collisionality, give small radial neoclassical transport and zero boots…
Theory of zonal flow growth and propagation in toroidal geometry
Richard Nies, Felix Parra
The toroidal geometry of tokamaks and stellarators is known to play a crucial role in the linear physics of zonal flows, leading to e.g. the Rosenbluth-Hinton residual and geodesic…
Strong gradient effects on neoclassical electron transport and the bootstrap current
Silvia Trinczek, Felix I. Parra, Peter J. Catto
Standard approaches to neoclassical theory do not extend into regions of strong gradients in tokamaks such as the pedestal and internal transport barriers. Here, we calculate the m…
