MHD Stability Calculations of High-Beta Quasi-Axisymmetric Stellarators
The MHD stability of quasi-axisymmetric compact stellarators is investigated. It is shown that bootstrap current driven external kink modes can be stabilized by a combination of edge magnetic shear and appropriate 3D plasma boundary shaping while ...

Boundary turbulence simulations of the optimized HSX stellarator and comparison with experiments
We present the first-ever full- $f$ , three-dimensional, two-fluid simulation of plasma turbulence based on the drift-reduced Braginskii equations in the optimized Helically Symmetric eXperiment (HSX) stellarator in its quasi-helical configuration.

Instabilities and turbulence in stellarators from the perspective of global codes
In this work, a comparison of the global gyrokinetic codes EUTERPE and GENE-3D in stellarator configurations of the Large Helical Device (LHD) and the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) is carried out.

MHD-Theoretical Aspects of Stellarators
Development and results of the MHD description of stellarators over the past half-decade are reviewed. Major events were the acceleration of convergence of those equilibrium codes which assume nested surfaces, the advent of equilibrium codes which do not

Equilibrium pressure limits in stellarators
This thesis delves into the potential of magnetic fusion energy, and in particular focuses on the stellarator concept. Stellarators use external coils to produce 3-dimensional (3D) magnetic fields that confine a thermonuclear plasma in a topologically ...

Multiscale turbulence in stellarators
We present the first gyrokinetic simulations of multiscale turbulence in a stellarator, using the magnetic geometry of Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) and experimentally relevant parameters. A broad range of scenarios is explored, including regimes where electron-

Designs Studies of Low-Aspect Ratio Quasi-Omnigenous Stellarators
Significant progress has been made in the development of new modest-size compact stellarator devices that could test optimization principles for the design of a more attractive reactor. These are 3 and 4 field period low-aspect-ratio quasi-omnigenous (QO)

Filament simulations for stellarators; a review of recent progress
A review of recent advances in simulations of turbulent filaments with relevance to stellarators is presented. Progress in performing global edge turbulence simulations is discussed as well as results from seeded filament simulations with applications to
