Optimization of nonlinear turbulence in stellarators

Journal of Plasma Physics
We present new stellarator equilibria that have been optimized for reduced turbulent transport using nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations within the optimization loop. The optimization routine involves coupling the pseudo-spectral GPU-native gyrokinetic code GX with the stellarator equilibrium ...

Stochastic diffusion of energetic ions in optimized stellarators [PDF]

Physics of Plasmas, 2001
It is shown that the collisionless transformation of locally trapped and passing particle orbits in the optimized stellarators of the Wendelstein line results in stochastic diffusion of energetic ions. This diffusion can lead to the loss of a significant fraction of the energetic ion population from the region where the characteristic diffusion time is

Numerical methods for stellarator optimization [PDF]

, 1989
A numerical optimization procedure utilizing an inverse 3-D equilibrium solver, a Mercier stability assessment, a deeply-trapped-particle loss assessment, and a nonlinear optimization package has been used to produce low aspect ratio (A = 4) stellarator ...

Implementation of the E×B and Grad‐B Drift in the EMC3 Code and Verification Using the Method of Manufactured Solutions

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Effective management of particle and power exhaust is essential for fusion reactor operation, requiring accurate 3D modeling of divertor physics. The EMC3 code is a well‐established Monte Carlo tool for plasma transport in stellarator edge regions, but until now lacked E×B$$ E\times B $$ and diamagnetic drifts.

Fusion Energy and Tritium Fuel Cycle: Hydrogen Isotope Separation Technologies and Sorbent Materials

Small Methods, Volume 10, Issue 20, 26 October 2026.
This review surveys sorbent‐based materials for hydrogen isotope separation, a key challenge in fusion fuel processing. Different types of adsorbents are compared in terms of selectivity, kinetics, and operational practicality. Limitations of cryogenic operation and tritium compatibility are highlighted, providing guidance toward efficient, low tritium

Exploration of the parameter space of piecewise omnigenous stellarator magnetic fields

Nuclear Fusion
Piecewise omnigenous fields are stellarator magnetic fields that are optimized with respect to radial neoclassical transport thanks to a second adiabatic invariant that is piecewisely constant on the flux-surface.

Suppression of non-axisymmetric field-induced α-particle loss channels in a quasi-axisymmetric stellarator

AIP Advances, 2022
In future fusion reactors, the confinement of α-particles is a crucial issue. The perfect omnigenity may be difficult to achieve in the quasi-isodynamic and quasi-symmetric stellarators when a multi-objective optimization is considered.

Enhancing stellarator accessibility through port size optimization

Nuclear 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.
