First step toward multi machine ELM energy scalings and extrapolations to SPARC and ITER
R. Perillo, A. Redl, T. Eich +14
It is shown that the ELM energy loss normalized by the plasma stored energy (ΔEELM/Wplasma) for high-density small/QCE ELM regimes scales inversely with the separatrix turbulence p…
Spacecraft heat shield study in the DIII-D tokamak
Dmitri M. Orlov, Evdokiya G. Kostadinova, Igor Bykov +33
We report a new experimental platform developed at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility to investigate carbon ablation and spallation under extreme heat fluxes relevant to fusion pl…
Runaway electron induced explosions of graphite; modeling versus controlled DIII-D experiments
T. Rizzi, A. Kavroulakis, S. Ratynskaia +10
The state-of-the-art concerning the modeling of the thermomechanical response of graphite to runaway electron (RE) impact is based on one-way coupled linear thermoelasticity combin…
Effects of Tungsten Radiative Cooling on Impurity, Heat and Momentum Transport in DIII-D Plasmas
A. Tema Biwole, T. OdstrÄil, X. Litaudon +21
A first-of-its-kind experiment was conducted in the DIII-D tokamak under WEST similarity constraints on plasma shape and core parameters. This work presents a detailed transport st…
