Edge Fluid Turbulence Simulations of Stellarators With GRILLIX

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The edge fluid turbulence code GRILLIX has recently been extended from axisymmetric tokamak geometries to support 3D stellarator configurations. Following successful proof‐of‐principle simulations published in Stegmeir et al., we present here a comprehensive simulation of the Wendelstein 7‐AS stellarator.

2D Implementation of Kinetic‐Diffusion Monte Carlo in Eiron

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Particle‐based kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of neutral particles are one of the major computational bottlenecks in tokamak scrape‐off layer simulations. This computational cost comes from the need to resolve individual collision events in high‐collisional regimes.

Challenges and approaches to interpretive modeling of boundary plasma and neutral transport in a closed, pumped divertor

Nuclear Fusion
An experimental discharge from the DIII-D tokamak is modeled using the SOLPS-ITER code suite and compared against measurements in the pumped and relatively closed upper divertor.

Effect of Magnetic Islands on Neoclassical Heat Diffusivity in a Global Tokamak Simulation

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) alter magnetic field topology via island formation and can modify core transport in toroidal fusion devices. Using the global gyrokinetic particle‐in‐cell code XGC‐S, originally developed for stellarator geometries, we quantify how island topology affects neoclassical heat transport in a circular tokamak ...

First SOLPS‐ITER Simulation Study of Japanese DEMO on Leakage of Seeded Ar Impurity

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For JA DEMO, one of the grand challenges is efficiently handling the extreme power loads onto plasma‐facing components, particularly the divertor targets. Impurity seeding is an essential strategy for increasing the radiation losses and thereby reducing the heat load on the targets.

Conceptual design of the Halo Machine

Nuclear Fusion
In 1996, when the danger of sideways forces was first recognised, the operational window of the JET tokamak was significantly restricted. Limits were placed on the maximum magnetic field and plasma current to prevent excessive stresses on the vacuum ...

Towards a Mean‐Field Braginskii Model for Stellarators

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Experiments in the stellarator Wendelstein 7‐X indicate that particle drifts have a significant impact on the plasma in the scrape‐off layer. However, drift effects have been absent in the mean‐field transport codes such as EMC3‐Eirene. For this reason, we present the first steps towards a mean‐field model that incorporates drifts. The code is

In Situ Sintering Studies of Reactive Sintered Borides (RSB) Neutron Shielding Materials

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Reactive sintered borides (RSBs) are a family of radiation‐dense materials made by powder metal processing and sintering of elemental precursors. Recent interest in RSBs has focused on their properties as high‐flux low‐activation thermal neutron absorbers for nuclear applications including fusion reactors.

Spectroscopic measurement of increases in hydrogen molecular rotational temperature with plasma-facing surface temperature and due to collisional-radiative processes in tokamaks

Nuclear Fusion, 2023
Spatially resolved rotational temperature of ground state hydrogen molecules desorbed from plasma-facing surface was measured in QUEST, LTX-β, and DIII-D tokamaks, and the increases of the rotational temperature with the surface temperature and due to ...

Fluctuating Interfaces in Barotropic Beta‐Plane Turbulence

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Zonal jets manifest themselves as bands with sharp interfaces in the vorticity configuration. We develop an algorithm to track these fluctuating vorticity interfaces and systematically investigate their characteristic spatio‐temporal behaviors.
