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

open access: yesInternational 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 ...

On the Description of Turbulent Transport in Magnetic Confinement Systems

open access: yesPhysics
We show how a source-aware fluid closure framework for turbulent transport performs well on the confinement timescale in magnetically confined plasmas.

Stark-Zeeman Line Shape Modeling for Magnetic White Dwarf and Tokamak Edge Plasmas: Common Challenges

open access: yesAtoms, 2017
The shape of atomic spectral lines in plasmas contains information on the plasma parameters, and can be used as a diagnostic tool. Under specific conditions, the plasma located at the edge of tokamaks has parameters similar to those in magnetic white ...

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

open access: yesEarth 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

open access: yesContributions 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 ...

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

open access: yesComputer 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 ...

Helium removal from tokamaks

open access: yesPlasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, 1991
Helium, as the ash of burning D-T plasma, is an unavoidable impurity component necessarily present already in near future tokamak experiments with significant alpha particle heating. Its efficient removal from the burning zone of a D-T fusion reactor plays a key role in the path towards achievement of economic fusion power production. A survey is given

Orbit-space sensitivity of two-step reaction gamma-ray spectroscopy

open access: yesNuclear Fusion
We calculate the orbit-space sensitivity of two-step reaction gamma-ray spectroscopy diagnostics in toroidally symmetric magnetic equilibria, using the reaction between alpha particles and beryllium-9 as an example.

Experimental scaling of compressional Alfvén eigenmode stability

open access: yesNuclear Fusion
Both co-propagating and counter-propagating compressional Alfvén eigenmodes (CAE) are relatively ubiquitous in NSTX plasmas with toroidal field strengths of ⩽4.65 kG, but are largely absent in the NSTX-U plasmas with toroidal fields of 5.7–5.9 kG.
