Towards fully predictive gyrokinetic full-f simulations: validation and triangularity studies in TCV
A. C. D. Hoffmann, T. N. Bernard, M. Francisquez +6
Designing economical magnetic confinement fusion power plants motivates computational tools that can estimate plasma behavior from engineering parameters without direct reliance on…
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…
New insights on divertor parallel flows, ExB drifts, and fluctuations from in situ, two-dimensional probe measurement in the Tokamak à Configuration Variable
H. De Oliveira, C. Theiler, O. Février +6
In-situ, two-dimensional (2D) Langmuir probe measurements across a large part of the TCV divertor are reported in L-mode discharges with and without divertor baffles. This provides…
X-point and divertor filament dynamics from Gas Puff Imaging on TCV
Curdin Wüthrich, Christian Theiler, Nicola Offeddu +9
A new Gas Puff Imaging (GPI) diagnostic has been installed on the TCV tokamak, providing two-dimensional insights into Scrape-Off-Layer (SOL) turbulence dynamics above, at and belo…
Theory-based scaling laws of near and far scrape-off layer widths in single-null L-mode discharges
M. Giacomin, A. Stagni, P. Ricci +4
Theory-based scaling laws of the near and far scrape-off layer (SOL) widths are analytically derived for L-mode diverted tokamak discharges by using a two-fluid model. The near SOL…
An improved understanding of the roles of atomic processes and power balance in divertor target ion current loss during detachment
Kevin Verhaegh, Bruce Lipschultz, Basil Duval +16
The process of divertor detachment, whereby heat and particle fluxes to divertor surfaces are strongly diminished, is required to reduce heat loading and erosion in a magnetic fusi…
