Optimizing Stellarators for Turbulent Transport [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Up to now, the term "transport-optimized" stellarators has meant optimized to minimize neoclassical transport, while the task of also mitigating turbulent transport, usually the dominant transport channel in such designs, has not been addressed, due to ...

Constructing the space of quasisymmetric stellarators

open access: yes, 2023
A simplified view of the space of optimised stellarators has the potential to guide and aid the design efforts of magnetic confinement configurations suitable for future fusion reactors.

New Classes of Quasi-helically Symmetric Stellarators

open access: yes, 2010
New classes of quasi-helically symmetric stellarators with aspect ratios ≤ 10 have been found which are stable to the perturbation of magnetohydrodynamic modes at plasma pressures of practical interest.

Treatment of advanced divertor configurations in the flux‐coordinate independent turbulence code GRILLIX

open access: yesContributions to Plasma Physics, Volume 60, Issue 5-6, June-July 2020., 2020
Abstract Advanced divertor configurations modify the magnetic geometry of the divertor to achieve a combination of strong magnetic flux expansion, increased connection length and higher divertor volume—to improve detachment stability, neutral/impurity confinement and heat‐channel broadening.

A comparison of the influence of plasmoid-drift mechanisms on plasma fuelling by cryogenic pellets in ITER and Wendelstein 7-X

open access: yesNuclear Fusion, 2023
Pellet injection is the most promising technique to achieve efficient plasma core fuelling, key for attaining stationary scenarios in large magnetic confinement fusion devices.

Stellar activity [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1986
We have been monitoring the CaII H and K emission in late-type giant stars using the Mt Wilson 60-inch telescope. It is a continuation of work that Olin Wilson began almost 20 years ago. As a result not only have starspot cycles been detected (equivalent to the solar sunspot cycle), but rotation periods have now been measured.

Stability in straight stellarators [PDF]

open access: yes, 1981
The stability of the straight stellarator against localized interchange modes is investigated employing the Mercier-Greene-Johnson criterion. Critical values of ..beta.. are obtained both numerically and analytically. The conclusion is that for classical

Long plasma duration operation analyses with an international multi-machine (tokamaks and stellarators) database

open access: yesNuclear Fusion, 2023
Combined high-fusion performance and long-pulse operation is one of the key integration challenges for fusion energy development in magnetic devices. Addressing these challenges requires an integrated vision of physics and engineering aspects with the ...

Some problems in stellarator reactor design

open access: yes, 1981
This thesis examines theoretically the potential of the plasma confinement device known as a Stellarator as a fusion reactor. Chapter one contains a survey of the requirements for nuclear fusion to take place in a device employing magnetic confincment ...

Stellarators

open access: yesFusion Science and Technology, 2004
Stellarators are toroidal devices where the required rotational transform of the magnetic field lines is generated by external field coils and not via an induced net toroidal plasma current. This confinement scheme has the advantages that, in principle, steady-state plasma operation is possible and that it does not have to brace itself against ...
