Electron Bernstein waves in spherical tokamak plasmas with "magnetic wells"

, 2004
In addition to traditional regimes with monotonously increasing magnetic field, regimes with "magnetic wells" also occur in spherical tokamaks (STs). The magnetic field profile inversion modifies significantly the whole picture of the wave propagation ...

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 Systematic Framework for Risk Assessment of Fusion Blanket: Addressing Manufacturing Defects, Accident Scenarios, and Radioactive Release

Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The breeder blanket, as a critical component in fusion reactors, undertakes three essential functions: tritium breeding, neutron shielding, and thermal energy conversion. Serving as the primary plasma‐facing component, it operates under extreme conditions—including sustained high temperatures, intense neutron irradiation fluxes, significant ...

Kinetic-ballooning-limited pedestals in spherical tokamak plasmas

Nuclear Fusion
A theoretical model is presented that for the first time matches experimental measurements of the pedestal width-height Diallo scaling in the low-aspect-ratio high- β tokamak NSTX.

On the Behavior of Two C1 Finite Elements Versus Anisotropic Diffusion

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, Volume 97, Issue 12, Page 1541-1557, December 2025.
Bi‐cubic Hemite‐Bézier and reduced cubic Hsieh‐Clough‐Tocher finite elements, of class C1, are compared for the solution of a highly anisotropic diffusion equation. They are tested numerically for various ratios of the diffusion coefficients on different meshes, even aligned with the anisotropy.

The Solar Wind Interaction With an Orbiting Venus

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 130, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Studies of the large‐scale interaction of the solar wind with planets have often been considered along the line of the sun to the planet, neglecting the planet's orbital motion. This paper describes a new refinement in the long history of Venus simulations, the addition of the planet's orbital motion.

Fast ion orbits in spherical tokamaks [PDF]

Physics of Plasmas, 1996
In a spherical tokamak, the 1/R variation of the toroidal field is extreme, and for a given value of the safety factor a relatively low average toroidal field can be used, together with large plasma current and large plasma minor radius and elongation. The poloidal and toroidal fields are then of similar size.

A h‐Adaptivity Strategy for Hybridizable Discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) Simulations of Fluid Transport Models in Tokamak Plasma

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 126, Issue 17, 15 September 2025.
ABSTRACT The highly anisotropic, multi‐scale nature of fusion plasma simulations in tokamaks, combined with the complexity in the geometries of plasma‐facing components and magnetic equilibrium, challenges numerical schemes. They therefore require the development of advanced numerical techniques to enhance computational efficiency and enable codes to ...

Measurements of Auroral Plasma Properties Using Low‐Cost, Mobile, Ground‐Based Detectors

Earth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract An expedition to Fairbanks, AK, was undertaken to study the aurora during the peak of solar cycle 25. Low‐cost diagnostics were developed to enable ground‐based measurements of ionospheric plasma parameters and auroral phenomena, namely a compact spectrometer and a high‐resolution all‐sky camera with 2‐axis magnetometer. Observations were made
