Magnetic configuration effects on the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator

open access: yes, 2022
855860The two leading concepts for confining high-temperature fusion plasmas are the tokamak and the stellarator. Tokamaks are rotationally symmetric and use a large plasma current to achieve confinement, whereas stellarators are non-axisymmetric and ...

Nonlinear saturation of ballooning modes in stellarators

open access: yesNuclear Fusion
Ballooning mode saturation is investigated in realistic stellarator configurations using the flux tube approach of Ham et al (2018 Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 60 075017), Ham et al (2016 Phys. Rev. Lett. 116 235001). The method is adapted to account for

A novel scheme for error field correction in permanent magnet stellarators

open access: yesNuclear Fusion, 2023
Stellarators offer a promising path towards fusion reactors, but their design and construction are complicated by stringent tolerance requirements on highly complex 3D coils. A potential way to simplify the engineering requirements for stellarators is to

Toward plasma drifts in EMC3: Implementation of gradient, divergence, and particle tracing schemes

open access: yesContributions to Plasma Physics, Volume 64, Issue 7-8, August-September 2024.
Abstract This paper presents a first implementation of gradient, divergence, and particle tracing schemes for the EMC3 code, a stochastic 3D plasma fluid code widely employed for edge plasma and impurity transport modeling in tokamaks and stellarators.

Drift waves in stellarator geometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Drift waves are investigated in a real three-dimensional stellarator geometry. A linear system, based on the cold ion fluid model and a ballooning mode formalism, is solved numerically in the geometry of the stellarator H1-NF.

Gyrokinetic prediction of core tungsten peaking in a WEST plasma with nitrogen impurities

open access: yesNuclear Fusion
Tungsten peaking is predicted in the core of a WEST plasma with total-f gyrokinetic simulations, including both collisional and turbulent transport. This prediction is validated with a synthetic diagnostic of the bolometry.

MHD Convection with Joule Heating and Internal Heat Generation in a Two‐Layer Discretely Heated Chamber Partly Filled with Porous Medium

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
The present research presents an innovative approach by integrating magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow with resistive heating, integrating a partly permeable layer and interior heat production to scrutinize natural convective flow within a square domain. It also examines both straight and wavy interfaces between the porous and fluid domains.

Enhancing stellarator accessibility through port size optimization

open access: yesNuclear Fusion
Access to the plasma chamber in a stellarator reactor is essential for maintenance and diagnostics. However, the complex geometry of stellarator coils, often characterized by their strong twisting, can severely limit the space available for access ports.
