Feedback system for divertor impurity seeding based on real-time measurements of surface heat flux in the Alcator C-Mod tokamak [PDF]

, 2016
Mitigation of the intense heat flux to the divertor is one of the outstanding problems in fusion energy. One technique that has shown promise is impurity seeding, i.e., the injection of low-Z gaseous impurities (typically N2 or Ne) to radiate and ...

Analytical calculations for impurity seeded partially detached divertor conditions [PDF]

Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, 2016
A simple analytical formula for the impurity seeded partially detached divertor operational point has been developed using 1D modelling. The inclusion of charge exchange momentum loss terms improves the 1D modelling for ASDEX Upgrade conditions and its extrapolation to larger devices.

Effects of N/Ne impurity seeding on the divertor asymmetry in HL-2A tokamak

Nuclear Fusion
Divertor asymmetry is a major challenge in achieving high-power, long-pulse discharges in future fusion reactors. Impurity seeding is the most common method for achieving divertor detachment in fusion devices.

Transport analysis of high radiation and high density plasmas in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2014
Future fusion reactors, foreseen in the “European road map” such as DEMO, will operate under more demanding conditions compared to present devices. They will require high divertor and core radiation by impurity seeding to reduce heat loads on divertor ...

Observation of the significant reductions of electron density and electron temperature in a cascaded arc high density argon plasma with ammonia seeding comparing with nitrogen seeding by laser Thomson scattering approach

Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2022
In this work, the influences of ammonia (NH3) seeding on the electron density (ne) and electron temperature (Te) in a high-density cascaded arc argon plasma have been investigated by laser Thomson scattering. As NH3 seeding ratio increases from 0% to 2%,

Endothelial Cells Angiogenesis in Sulfated Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) Hydrogels Enhanced by Bioactive Glass‐Released Ions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A mechanically tunable hydrogel composed of gelatin, chondroitin sulfate and laminin promotes angiogenesis in vitro without the supplement of growth factors. Endothelial cells morphogenesis was further enhanced by medium conditioned with bioactive glass 58S‐released ions (Ca and Si), thus offering a promising strategy to vascularize 3D tissue ...

Germanane Quantum Dots Promote Metabolic Reprogramming of Immune Cells Toward Regulatory T Cells and Suppress Inflammation In Vitro and In Vivo

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Metabolic changes in immune cells direct the phenotype and function of the host immune system. Smart nanomaterials must target metabolic pathways to direct immune cell fate. This study reports the fabrication and first application of germanane quantum dots (GeHQDs) to modulate inflammation in vitro and in vivo.

Gyrokinetic simulations of electrostatic microturbulence in ADITYA-U tokamak with argon impurity

Nuclear Fusion
The effect of impurity on the electrostatic microturbulence in ADITYA-U tokamak is assessed using global gyrokinetic simulations. The realistic geometry and experimental profiles of the ADITYA-U are used, before and after argon gas seeding, to perform ...
