Integrated modelling of neon impact on JET H-mode core plasmas

Nuclear Fusion, 2022
Nuclear fusion reactor plasmas will need to exhaust a significant proportion of energy flux through radiative processes, to enable acceptable divertor loads. This can be obtained by line radiation from impurities, injected from the plasma edge. There are

Kinetic Theory of Drift‐Mirror Mode

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 51, Issue 18, 28 September 2024.
Abstract We present a nonlocal gyrokinetic theory for the drift‐mirror mode in high‐β $\beta $ anisotropic plasmas. Here, β $\beta $ represents the ratio of plasma pressure to magnetic pressure. The equilibrium distribution is established self‐consistently via guiding‐center Hamiltonian theory.

First-principle based predictions of the effects of negative triangularity on DTT scenarios

Nuclear Fusion
Plasmas with negative triangularity (NT) shape have been recently shown to be able to achieve H-mode levels of confinement in L-mode, avoiding detrimental edge localised modes.

Scalable Quasineutral Solver for Gyrokinetic Simulation [PDF]

, 2012
La modélisation du transport turbulent est un point clef pour prédire les propriétés de confinement d'un plasma de fusion. La théorie gyrocinétique propose une description à 5 dimensions permettant de calculer et comprendre les effets cinétiques dans un plasma.

Nonlinear gyrokinetic Coulomb collision operator [PDF]

Journal of Plasma Physics, 2019
A gyrokinetic Coulomb collision operator is derived, which is particularly useful to describe the plasma dynamics at the periphery region of magnetic confinement fusion devices. The derived operator is able to describe collisions occurring in distribution functions arbitrarily far from equilibrium with variations on spatial scales at and below the ...

Direct Evidence of Drift‐Compressional Wave Generation in the Earth's Magnetosphere Detected by Arase

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 51, Issue 8, 28 April 2024.
Abstract We present the first direct evidence of an in situ excitation of drift‐compressional waves driven by drift resonance with ring current protons in the magnetosphere. Compressional Pc4–5 waves with frequencies of 4–12 mHz were observed by the Arase satellite near the magnetic equator at L ∼ 6 in the evening sector on 19 November 2018.

Modeling electron temperature profiles in the pedestal with simple formulas for ETG transport

Nuclear Fusion
This paper reports on the refinement (building on (Hatch D.R. et al 2022 Phys. Plasmas 29 062501)) and application of simple formulas for electron heat transport from electron temperature gradient (ETG) driven turbulence in the pedestal. The formulas are

Numerical study of limits of neoclassical theory in the plateau regime in the presence of impurities

Contributions to Plasma Physics, Volume 64, Issue 3, March 2024.
Abstract This paper presents a numerical simulation to test the corrections to the radial electric field in the presence of impurities for tokamak devices whose main ions are in the plateau regime. The effects due to the presence of impurity density variation in a pedestal tokamak are known to generate conditions where conventional neoclassical theory ...

Reduced electrostatic turbulence in the quasi-isodynamic stellarator configuration CIEMAT-QI4

Nuclear Fusion
CIEMAT-QI4 is a quasi-isodynamic stellarator configuration that simultaneously features very good fast-ion confinement in a broad range of β values, low neoclassical transport and bootstrap current, and ideal magnetohydrodynamic stability up to $\beta ...
