Modelling the electric field applied to a tokamak [PDF]
, 2010 The vector potential for the Ohmic heating coil system of a tokamak is obtained in semi-analytical form. Comparison is made to the potential of a simple, finite solenoid.

A Neutron Source Based on Spherical Tokamak
EnergiesThe paper presents a conceptual study of a neutron source based on a spherical tokamak (ST). The plasma scenario chosen for the ST is non-thermal fusion (hot ion mode), which is extensively used on machines like JET and TFTR deuterium–tritium (DT ...

Gyrokinetic Studies of Microinstabilities in the RFP
, 2013 An analytic equilibrium, the Toroidal Bessel Function Model, is used in conjunction with the gyrokinetic code GYRO to investigate the nature of microinstabilities in a reversed field pinch (RFP) plasma.

Convectively driven shear and decreased heat flux [PDF]
, 2014 We report on direct numerical simulations of two-dimensional, horizontally periodic Rayleigh-B\'enard convection, focusing on its ability to drive large-scale horizontal flow that is vertically sheared.

International Journal of Applied Glass Science, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Femtosecond laser irradiation in glass, under controlled conditions, can induce two types of nanogratings (NG): porous nanogratings (pNG) and crystal/glass nanogratings (cNG). While most glasses exhibit only one type, binary aluminosilicate glasses have shown both types of NG.

The optimisation of the STEP electron cyclotron current drive concept
Nuclear FusionA fusion reactor based on the spherical tokamak is very likely to be completely non-inductive for the majority of the plasma ramp-up and steady-state phases, due to the limitations imposed on the central coil assemblies by the compact design.

Design and construction of magnetic diagnostics on NanChang spherical tokamak
AIP Advances, 2022 The NanChang Spherical Tokamak (NCST) is a new compact tokamak (with an aspect ratio of R/a = 1.67) for exploring the merging compression by which the plasma start-up is highly efficient.

Relaxation Phenomena in Spherical Tokamak Plasma [PDF]
Progress of Theoretical Physics Supplement, 2000 Dynamics of a relaxation phenomenon observed in Spherical Tokamak experiments, which is called Internal Reconnection Event (IRE), is studied by magnetohydrodynamic computer simulation. Coupling between the torus magnetic field and the external field induced by nonlinear growth of pressure driven instabilities, and resultant formation of tunnel-like ...
