Divertor enrichment of recycling impurity species (He, N2, Ne, Ar, Kr) in ASDEX Upgrade H-modes
Particle balance calculations are done for the seeding species N _2 , Ne, Ar, Kr as well as He with the aim of obtaining a realistic description of the divertor and core plasma impurity content.

The I-mode confinement regime at ASDEX Upgrade: global propert ies and characterization of strongly intermittent density fluctuations [PDF]
Properties of the Imode confinement regime on the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak are summarized. A weak dependence of the power threshold for the LI transition on the toroidal magnetic field strength is found.

Isotope and density profile effects on pedestal neoclassical transport
Cross-field neoclassical transport of heat, particles and momentum is studied in sharp density pedestals, with a focus on isotope and profile effects, using a radially global approach.

Neoclassical flows in deuterium-helium plasma density pedestals
In tokamak transport barriers, the radial scale of profile variations can be comparable to a typical ion orbit width, which makes the coupling of the distribution function across flux surfaces important in the collisional dynamics.

Simulations of ELM-induced tungsten melt flow across misaligned plasma-facing components
A computational fluid dynamics model of ELM-induced tungsten melt flow across a gap between misaligned plasma-facing components is validated against data from dedicated leading-edge exposures in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak.

Recent progress on improving ICRF coupling and reducing RF-specific impurities in ASDEX Upgrade
The recent scientific research on ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) has greatly advanced solutions to two issues of Radio Frequency (RF) heating in the Ion Cyclotron Range of Frequencies (ICRF): (a) the coupling of ICRF power to the plasma is significantly improved by
