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.

Characterization of ion heat conduction in JET and ASDEX Upgrade plasmas with and without internal transport barriers [PDF]
In ASDEX Upgrade and JET, the ion temperature profiles can be described by R/L-Ti which exhibits only little variations, both locally, when comparing different discharges, andradially over a wide range of the poloidal cross-section.

The physics of ballooning-limited ELM-free regimes in EUROfusion tokamaks
The development of operational scenarios without large Type-I ELMs is of utmost importance for the stable operation and longevity of future tokamaks. The EUROfusion tokamak exploitation program has therefore made the understanding of ELM-free regimes a ...

Neoclassical impurity transport in the tokamak transport barrier and pedestal with SOLPS-ITER
New neoclassical corrections are implemented in the SOLPS-ITER code package and can be used for modeling with drifts. These corrections are introduced to obtain standard neoclassical impurity flux in the core for non-steep main ion density and ...

Adaptive mapping of the plasma operational space of ASDEX Upgrade for disruption prediction
The Self-Organizing Map is a computational method for the visualization and analysis of high-dimensional data. Self Organizing Maps have been applied to ASDEX Upgrade data to define an ordered mapping of an 8-dimensional plasma parameter space onto a ...
