On energy conservation laws in the drift-reduced Braginskii model

Sergio García Herreros, Brenno de Lucca, Davide Mancini +5

A revision of the drift-reduced Braginskii model is presented, focusing on its practical implementation in numerical codes, and systematically analyzing the effect of several commo…

Modelling of power exhaust in TCV positive and negative triangularity L-mode plasmas

E. Tonello, F. Mombelli, O. Février +10

L-mode negative triangularity (NT) operation is a promising alternative to the positive triangularity (PT) H-mode as a high-confinement ELM-free operational regime. In this work, t…

Divertor shaping with neutral baffling as a solution to the tokamak power exhaust challenge

K. Verhaegh, J. R. Harrison, D. Moulton +20

Exhausting power from the hot fusion core to the plasma-facing components is one of the biggest challenges in fusion energy. The MAST Upgrade tokamak uniquely integrates strong con…

Investigations of atomic \& molecular processes of NBI-heated discharges in the MAST Upgrade Super-X divertor with implications for reactors

K. Verhaegh, J. R. Harrison, B. Lipschultz +20

This experimental study presents an in-depth investigation of the performance of the MAST-U Super-X divertor during NBI-heated operation (up to 2.5 MW) focussing on volumetric ion…

Comparison of detachment in Ohmic plasmas with positive and negative triangularity

O. Février, C. K. Tsui, G. Durr-Legoupil-Nicoud +18

In recent years, negative triangularity (NT) has emerged as a potential high-confinement L-mode reactor solution. In this work, detachment is investigated using core density ramps…
