About diffusion equations in bounded systems
F. Sattin, D. F. Escande
Differential equations need boundary conditions (BC's) for their solution. It is commonly acknowledged that differential equations and BC's are representative of independent physic…

Increasing the density limit with ECRH-assisted Ohmic start-up on EAST
Jiaxing Liu, Ping Zhu, Dominique Franck Escande +16
High plasma density operation is crucial for a tokamak to achieve energy breakeven and a burning plasma. However, there is often an empirical upper limit of electron density in tok…

Power dependence of density limit due to plasma-wall interaction in a burning plasma
Jiaxing Liu, Ping Zhu, Dominique Franck Escande
The density limit is one of the major obstacles to achieving the desired fusion performance in tokamaks. However, the underlying physics mechanism for its recently observed power d…
