HEAT simulation and IR data comparison for ST40 plasma-facing components

open access: yesNuclear Materials and Energy
The Heat Flux Engineering Analysis Toolkit (HEAT) (Looby et al., 2022) was used to simulate the heat flux, qtarget, on ST40 molybdenum divertors. Results were compared with experimental infrared (IR) data.

ST40 electromagnetic predictive studies supported by machine learning applied to experimental database

open access: yesScientific Reports
Nuclear fusion is entering the era of power plant-scale devices, which are now undergoing extensive studies to support the design phase. Plasma disruptions pose a high risk to these classes of devices because of the large stored thermal and magnetic ...

Dust remobilization from rough planar surfaces in tokamak steady-state plasmas

open access: yesNuclear Materials and Energy, 2018
The ability of tungsten (W) dust to be remobilized from rough tokamak plasma-facing surfaces is investigated in this study. Atomic Force Microscopy is used to evaluate the adhesion force distribution between W spheroids of ∼1−10 µm radius and a rough W ...

Time series extrinsic regression for reconstructing missing electron temperature in tokamak

open access: yesNuclear Fusion
The integrity of tokamak plasma diagnostic data is critical for physics research and the development of experimental fusion device. Sensor failures, data acquisition errors, or limitations in diagnostic systems (e.g.

Important problems of future thermonuclear reactors*

open access: yesNukleonika, 2015
This paper concerns important and difficult problems connected with a design and construction of thermonuclear reactors, which have to use nuclear fusion reactions of heavy isotopes of hydrogen, i.e., deuterium (D) and tritium (T).

Hydrogen removal by electron cyclotron wall conditioning with neon gas and its impact of tokamak plasma start-up on the QUEST spherical tokamak

open access: yesNuclear Fusion
Electron cyclotron wall conditioning with neon gas (Ne-ECWC) has been performed on the normal conducting spherial tokamak QUEST with metal walls under a trapped particle configuration with O-mode EC waves including X-mode polarization with a frequency of
