A h‐Adaptivity Strategy for Hybridizable Discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) Simulations of Fluid Transport Models in Tokamak Plasma

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 126, Issue 17, 15 September 2025.
ABSTRACT The highly anisotropic, multi‐scale nature of fusion plasma simulations in tokamaks, combined with the complexity in the geometries of plasma‐facing components and magnetic equilibrium, challenges numerical schemes. They therefore require the development of advanced numerical techniques to enhance computational efficiency and enable codes to ...

Runaway electron mitigation by 3D fields application in ASDEX Upgrade, COMPASS, and RFX-mod

Frontiers in Physics
Disruption-generated runaway electron (RE) beams represent a potentially severe threat for tokamak plasma-facing components. Application of properly designed 3D fields can act as a mitigation mechanism, as recently investigated in ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) and

Measurements of Auroral Plasma Properties Using Low‐Cost, Mobile, Ground‐Based Detectors

Earth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract An expedition to Fairbanks, AK, was undertaken to study the aurora during the peak of solar cycle 25. Low‐cost diagnostics were developed to enable ground‐based measurements of ionospheric plasma parameters and auroral phenomena, namely a compact spectrometer and a high‐resolution all‐sky camera with 2‐axis magnetometer. Observations were made

Partition Functions and Mass Action Constants of Plasmas of Light Elements at Higher Temperatures

Contributions to Plasma Physics, Volume 65, Issue 7, August 2025.
ABSTRACT We first analyze the relations between the work of Planck and Klimontovich and show that Klimontovich's kinetic theory of non‐ideal plasmas confirms Planck's partition function for the hydrogen plasma. We discuss and check the Planck‐Brillouin‐Larkin (PBL) expressions for Hydrogen with PIMC calculations and derive new partition functions and ...

Numerical methods for the magneto-mechanical coupling analysis of in-vessel components in Tokamak devices

Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2019
: Magneto-mechanical coupling vibration arises in the in-vessel components of Tokamak devices especially during the plasma disruption. Strong electromagnetic forces cause the structures to vibrate while the motion in turn changes the distribution of the ...

The physics of turbulence localised to the tokamak divertor volume

Communications Physics, 2022
Fusion generated within magnetically confined plasmas offers a promising route to clean baseload energy but the intense heat and particle flux generated in the process presents a major challenge for future power plant devices.

Fast and Invertible Simplicial Approximation of Magnetic‐Following Interpolation for Visualizing Fusion Plasma Simulation Data

Computer Graphics Forum, Volume 44, Issue 3, June 2025.
Abstract We introduce a fast and invertible approximation for fusion plasma simulation data represented as 2D planar meshes with connectivities approximating magnetic field lines along the toroidal dimension in deformed 3D toroidal spaces. Scientific variables (e.g., density and temperature) in these fusion data are interpolated following a complex ...

Plasma self-driven current in tokamaks with magnetic islands

Nuclear Fusion
Magnetic island perturbations may cause a reduction in plasma self-driven current that is needed for tokamak operation. A novel effect on tokamak self-driven current revealed by global gyrokinetic simulations is due to magnetic-island-induced 3D electric

Self‐Organized Growth of Catalyst‐Free Single Crystal WnO3n‐2 (n = 25) Nanowire Bundles on Si (111) via Selective He+ Ion Irradiation

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 12, Issue 10, May 19, 2025.
A novel and efficient method is explored to synthesize 1D single‐crystal sub‐stoichiometric WnO3n‐2 (n = 25) nanowire bundles. The approach utilizes selective low‐energy He+ ion irradiation (27 eV) on Mo‐Ni doped WOx surface, achieving efficient catalyst‐free self‐organized growth of high aspect ratio nanowires at the temperature of 700 °C.
