Implementation and verification of the avalanche source in a 3D full-f particle-in-cell model of relativistic electrons for studies of tokamak disruptions
Fiona Wouters, Hannes Bergström, Matthias Hoelzl +3
Disruptions threaten tokamak operation not only because of large in-vessel forces and thermal heat loads, but also because some electrons may be accelerated to relativistic energie…

Comparison of MHD and gyrokinetic simulations of linear instabilities at the q = 1 surface
F. N. Antlitz, X. Wang, M. Hoelzl +10
Accurate modeling of core instabilities in tokamak plasmas is essential to understand the underlying physical mechanisms and their impact on plasma confinement. The ideal stability…

Plasmoid drift and first wall heat deposition during ITER H-mode dual-SPIs in JOREK simulations
D. Hu, F. J. Artola, E. Nardon +6
The heat flux mitigation during the Thermal Quench (TQ) by the Shattered Pellet Injection (SPI) is one of the major elements of disruption mitigation strategy for ITER. It's effici…
