Non-inductive plasma current sustainment with stochastic electron cyclotron in EXL-50 spherical torus
Mingyuan Wang, Shikui Cheng, Bing Liu +11
The start-up and sustainment of a stochastic wave non-inductive current on a spherical torus was experimentally demonstrated for the first time using only electron cyclotron waves.…
Two-parameter Radial Equilibrium Models for Field-Reversed Configurations
Haojie Ma, Huasheng Xie, Yukun Bai +7
A new equilibrium pressure profile extending the Rigid-Rotor (RR) model with a simple unified expression for both inside and outside the separatrix is proposed,…
Low- global ideal MHD instabilities in CFETR baseline scenario
Rui Han, Ping Zhu, Debabrata Banerjee +3
This article reports an evaluation on the linear ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stability of the China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR) baseline scenario for various first-…
MHD stability analysis of ideal wall modes for CFETR upgrade phase-I scenario using NIMROD
Shikui Cheng, Ping Zhu, Debabrata Banerjee +1
Ideal MHD stability of China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR) upgrade phase-I baseline scenario has been evaluated using the initial value code NIMROD. The toroidal mode num…
Evaluation of ideal MHD mode stability of CFETR baseline scenario
Debabrata Banerjee, Ping Zhu, Shikui Cheng +4
The CFETR baseline scenario is based on a H-mode equilibrium with high pedestal and highly peaked edge bootstrap current, along with strong reverse shear in safety factor profile.…
