Physics insights from a large-scale 2D UEDGE simulation database for detachment control in KSTAR
Menglong Zhao, Xueqiao Xu, Ben Zhu +8
A large-scale database of two-dimensional UEDGE simulations has been developed to study detachment physics in KSTAR and to support surrogate models for control applications. Nearly…
Latent Space Mapping: Revolutionizing Predictive Models for Divertor Plasma Detachment Control
Ben Zhu, Menglong Zhao, Xue-Qiao Xu +4
The inherent complexity of boundary plasma, characterized by multi-scale and multi-physics challenges, has historically restricted high-fidelity simulations to scientific research…
Detachment control in KSTAR with Tungsten divertor
Anchal Gupta, David Eldon, Eunnam Bang +7
KSTAR has recently undergone an upgrade to use a new Tungsten divertor to run experiments in ITER-relevant scenarios. Even with a high melting point of Tungsten, it is important to…
Theoretical and Global Simulation Analysis of Collisional Microtearing
Kaixuan Fan, Xue-Qiao Xu, Ben Zhu +3
This study delves into Microtearing Modes (MTMs) in tokamak plasmas, employing advanced simulations within the BOUT++ framework. The research, centering on collisional MTMs influen…
