Access and sustainment of ELMy H-mode operation for ITER Pre-Fusion Power Operation plasmas using JINTRAC

E. Tholerus, L. Garzotti, V. Parail +15

In the initial stages of ITER operation, ELM mitigation systems need to be commissioned. This requires controlled flat-top operation in type-I ELMy H-mode regimes. Hydrogen or heli…

Neoclassical transport of tungsten ion bundles in total-f neoclassical gyrokinetic simulations of a whole-volume JET-like plasma

J. Dominski, C. S. Chang, R. Hager +3

The application of a bundling technique to model the diverse charge states of tungsten impurity species in total-f gyrokinetic simulations is demonstrated. The gyrokinetic bundling…

Constructing a new predictive scaling formula for ITER's divertor heat-load width informed by a simulation-anchored machine learning

C. S. Chang, S. Ku, R. Hager +6

Understanding and predicting divertor heat-load width is a critically important problem for an easier and more robust operation of ITER with high fusion gain. Previous predic…

Gyrokinetic analysis and simulation of pedestals, to identify the culprits for energy losses using fingerprints

M. Kotschenreuther, X. Liu, D. R. Hatch +14

Fusion performance in tokamaks hinges critically on the efficacy of the Edge Transport Barrier (ETB) at suppressing energy losses. The new concept of fingerprints is introduced to…

Gyrokinetic projection of the divertor heat-flux width from present tokamaks to ITER

C. S. Chang, S. Ku, A. Loarte +11

The XGC1 edge gyrokinetic code is used for a high fidelity prediction for the width of the heat-flux to divertor plates in attached plasma condition. The simulation results are val…

Self-consistent simulation of plasma scenarios for ITER using a combination of 1.5D transport codes and free-boundary equilibrium codes

V Parail, R Albanese, R Ambrosino +20

Self-consistent transport simulation of ITER scenarios is a very important tool for the exploration of the operational space and for scenario optimisation. It also provides an asse…
