Bootstrap Current Modeling in M3D-C1
Saurabh Saxena, Nathaniel Ferraro, Mike F. Martin +1
Bootstrap current plays a crucial role in the equilibrium of magnetically confined plasmas, particularly in quasisymmetric (QS) stellarators and in tokamaks, where it can represent…

Coupled 2-D MHD and runaway electron fluid simulations of SPARC disruptions
R. Datta, C. Clauser, N. Ferraro +3
Runaway electrons (REs) generated during disruption events in tokamaks can carry mega-Ampere level currents, potentially causing damage to plasma-facing components. Understanding R…

Benign saturation of ideal ballooning instability in a high-performance stellarator
Yao Zhou, K. Aleynikova, Chang Liu +1
To examine the robustness of the designed 5% -limit for high-performance operation in the W7-X stellarator, we undertake nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of pres…
