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.

Relation between porosity‐based and crystal‐based femtosecond laser‐induced nanogratings in oxide glasses

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.

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 ...

Microtearing Modes in Reversed Field Pinch Plasmas

, 2010
In the reversed field pinch RFX-mod strong electron temperature gradients develop when the Single-Helical-Axis regime is achieved. Gyrokinetic calculations show that in the region of the strong temperature gradients microtearing instabilities are the ...

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.
