Neoclassical transport optimization of LHD

Nuclear Fusion, 2002
Neoclassical transport is studied for large helical device (LHD) configurations in which the magnetic axis has been shifted radially by determining the mono-energetic transport coefficient and the effective helical ripple. With respect to the transport in the long mean-free-path collisionality region—the so-called 1/ν transport—the optimum ...

Neoclassical transport simulations for stellarators [PDF]

Physics of Plasmas, 2011
The benchmarking of the thermal neoclassical transport coefficients is described using examples of the Large Helical Device (LHD) and TJ-II stellarators. The thermal coefficients are evaluated by energy convolution of the monoenergetic coefficients obtained by direct interpolation or neural network techniques from the databases precalculated by ...

Neoclassical transport in a elliptic tokamak [PDF]

The Physics of Fluids, 1977
Neoclassical transport for an elliptic tokamak in all collisional regimes is investigated by the technique of partitioning the velocity space. It is found that in a tokamak of moderate elongation, particle and ion heat confinement times are increased by a factor of sigma/sup 2/, where sigma is the ratio of vertical minor radius to horizontal minor ...

Direct optimization of neoclassical ion transport in stellarator reactors

Nuclear Fusion
We directly optimize stellarator neoclassical ion transport while holding neoclassical electron transport at a moderate level, creating a scenario favorable for impurity expulsion and retaining good ion confinement.

Prevention of core particle depletion in stellarators by turbulence

Physical Review Research, 2023
In reactor-relevant plasmas, neoclassical transport drives an outward particle flux in the core of large stellarators and predicts strongly hollow density profiles. However, this theoretical prediction is contradicted by experiments.

Neoclassical Transport Including Collisional Nonlinearity

Physical Review Letters, 2011
In the standard δf theory of neoclassical transport, the zeroth-order (Maxwellian) solution is obtained analytically via the solution of a nonlinear equation. The first-order correction δf is subsequently computed as the solution of a linear, inhomogeneous equation that includes the linearized Fokker-Planck collision operator.

Neoclassical toroidal plasma viscosity in bounce-transit and drift resonance regimes in tokamaks

Nuclear Fusion, 2023
Neoclassical toroidal plasma viscosity in the bounce-transit and drift resonance regimes is calculated using a version of the drift kinetic equation that encompasses the physics of the nonlinear trapping and quasilinear plateau regimes in tokamaks. It is
