In order to reveal the fundamental mechanisms behind H retention and desorption, we developed a cluster dynamics model, IRadMat-TDS, for theoretical modeling of depth distribution and TDS of deuterium (D) in polycrystalline W. The model newly includes the saturated absorption and emission of D in inherent sinks like grain boundaries (GBs), as well as the multi-trapping effect of D in various types of GBs with different trapping energies. The simulated TDS spectra are in agreement with experimental ones. For polycrystalline W under D ion irradiation within keV-energy range, two typical thermal desorption peaks in TDS at around 490 and 550 K are explicitly attributed to D emission from GBs and vacancies, respectively. And GBs play a major role in D retention. Moreover, the broad peaks in TDS come from the convolution of multi-trapping of D in sinks with different types of trapping sites rather than a single-site approximation.","PeriodicalId":19379,"journal":{"name":"Nuclear Fusion","volume":"85 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141945545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A workflow combining Monte Carlo codes BEAMS3D and ASCOT5 is used to track fast ions produced by neutral beam injection from the moment of ionization until they are thermalized or lost from the last closed flux surface, and from there to a virtual plane which serves as a projection of the entrance aperture to the FILD. Simulations in ASCOT5 are analyzed via a geometric method to determine the probability of transmission through the FILD aperture and onto the detector as a function of normalized momentum, pitch angle, gyrophase, and position at the virtual plane. This probability is then applied to the simulated ions arriving from the plasma, producing a simulated signal from a computationally tractable number of simulated fast ions. Simulated signals are presented for two W7-X experiments with neutral beam injection and quantitatively compared with experimental measurements from the NIFS-FILD diagnostic. An estimate of the frequency of charge-exchange with neutral particles in the edge is performed, and it is found that this process may have a significant impact on the measured signals.","PeriodicalId":19379,"journal":{"name":"Nuclear Fusion","volume":"93 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141945548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, to deconfine and mitigate REs, the efficacy of local vertical field (LVF) perturbation has been explored numerically. LVF perturbation-assisted RE loss studies are carried out by simulating the drift orbits of the REs in magnetostatic perturbed fields and estimating the resulting orbit losses for different initial energies and magnitudes of LVF perturbation. To this end, the pre-existing PARTICLE code has been extended to the relativistic full-orbit-following code PARTICLE-3D (P3D) integrated with the magnetic field calculation code EFFI and plasma equilibrium field calculation code IPREQ to include the required fields for studying particle dynamics in general; this is then used to numerically model LVF perturbation-assisted RE deconfinement experiments conducted in the ADITYA tokamak. Simulation results show a significant (∼90%) deconfinement of REs with the application of LVF perturbation of a suitable amplitude (∼0.1% of the total magnetic field) in a preferred direction. The existence of a threshold magnitude of the applied field is also established, which is observed to be dependent on the energy of the REs. The simulation results reproduce all the experimental observations and reveal other interesting features of RE mitigation using LVF perturbation. The temporal map of orbiting time of REs shows that REs originating from the inboard side edge region ( N > 0.5) of the plasma are relatively more prone to be lost with the application of suitable LVF perturbation than those originating from the plasma core. Interestingly, the simulation results demonstrate the existence of strong correlation between the safety factor (q) profile in the plasma edge region ( N > 0.7) and the level of RE deconfinement using LVF perturbation.","PeriodicalId":19379,"journal":{"name":"Nuclear Fusion","volume":"219 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141885827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

China developed the EHF FW technologies in steady stages by making small mock-ups, semi-prototypes and a full-scale prototype (FSP), working toward series production at the Southwestern Institute of Physics. All the key technologies for bimetallic diffusion bonding, welding and assembly have been fully qualified. The Be armor tile size effects on thermal-fatigue performance have been evaluated using a pulsed high heat flux test with an EMS-400 electron beam facility. It was found that both the Be/CuCrZr bonding and its thermal-fatigue life are highly dependent on the tile size, and 12 × 12 mm2 Be tiles are acceptable for the required performance, either as individual tiles or in castellation by cutting larger ones. Small-scale mock-ups with such Be tiles survived 16 000 thermal cycles at 4.7 MW m−2, while EHF FW fingers with 16 × 16 mm2 Be tiles demonstrated unstable performance. In contrast, only BE tiles larger than 24 × 12 mm2 showed reliable diffusion bonding with the CuCrZr heat sink by hot isostatic pressing and consequently should be castellated into smaller ones. The manufacturing of the FSP finger goes through complex thermal cycles, using CuCrZr alloys in age-strengthening plus cold-rolling states, enabling it to maintain its tensile strength to the level of 285 MPa and its mean grain size less than 100 µm. The pipe welding for finger pairing and its assembly with the central beam are demonstrated, including enabling welding to be carried out twice for repair in a narrow space. The FSP showed good finger alignment, dimensional control and reliable vacuum tightness without any blockage of cooling channels.","PeriodicalId":19379,"journal":{"name":"Nuclear Fusion","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141782321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Machine learning based disruption predictors can exhibit impressive performance. However, their effectiveness is based on a substantial amount of training data. In future reactors, obtaining a substantial amount of disruption data in high performance regimes without risking damage to the machine is highly improbable. Using machine learning to develop disruption predictors on data from the low performance regime and transfer them to the high performance regime is an effective solution for a large reactor-sized tokamak like ITER and beyond. In this study, a number of models are trained using different subsets of data from the HL-2A tokamak experiment. A SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis is executed on the models, revealing that there are different, even contradicting, patterns between different performance regimes. Thus, simply mixing data among different performance regimes will not yield optimal results. Based on this analysis, we propose an instance-based transfer learning technique which trains the model using a dataset generated with an optimized strategy. The strategy involves instance and feature selection based on the physics behind differences in high- and low-performance discharges, as revealed by SHAP model analysis. The TrAdaBoost technique significantly improved the model performance from 0.78 BA (balanced accuracy) to 0.86 BA with a few high-performance operation data.","PeriodicalId":19379,"journal":{"name":"Nuclear Fusion","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141782320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Postinjection, the system achieves equilibrium, resulting in increases by factors of 1.8 and 2.4 in the total inventory and plasma energy, respectively, compared to cases without injection. This method effectively accomplishes FRC refueling while preserving the intrinsic characteristics of a simply connected, axisymmetric configuration and a high beta value approaching unity. Therefore, this approach offers potential for repetitive refueling in the reactor stage having a FRC plasma core. Experimental outcomes are compared with magnetohydrodynamic simulation results.

The chosen mesh size at the surface significantly affects the calculated transient heat flux results. The calculated transient heat flux will exceed the real value when the mesh size tends to zero but will underestimate the real value when the mesh size is large. A criterion for determining the appropriate mesh size for the transient heat flux calculation will be discussed. The numerical scheme for HYPERION uses a 2D fully implicit finite-difference approach, allowing temperature-dependent thermal properties of PFC materials. The inversion algorithm is benchmarked against established heat flux calculation codes, TACO and THEODOR, based on thermography data from NSTX and DIII-D respectively. The primary benefits of HYPERION compared to TACO and THEODOR are that it is open-source and it allows for the optimization of mesh thickness along the substrate. The algorithm also accounts for the thermal properties of thin surface layers that characteristically form on PFCs due to plasma-material interactions. The agreement between HYPERION and THEODOR is excellent, as the percent difference between the codes is ∼5% on average in the case of the DIII-D data for moderate to high heat flux. Verification tests with TACO show slightly higher average percent differences of 8% and 12%. In using HYPERION to study filaments in heat flux, the initial results indicate that small ELMs filaments significantly broaden the divertor heat flux, and decrease divertor peak flux. Compared to the inter-ELM, the small ELM filaments decrease the divertor peak surface temperature. With intermittent divertor filaments, the divertor heat flux width is comparable with that found in L-mode.","PeriodicalId":19379,"journal":{"name":"Nuclear Fusion","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141753916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

RMP-ELM suppression is achieved over a range of plasma currents, toroidal fields, and RMP toroidal mode numbers. Consistent operational windows in edge safety factor are found across devices, while windows in plasma shaping parameters are distinct. Accessed pedestal parameters reveal a quantitatively similar pedestal-top density limit for RMP-ELM suppression in all devices of just over m−3. This is surprising given the wide variance of many engineering parameters and edge collisionalities, and poses a challenge to extrapolation of the regime. Wide ranges in input power, confinement time, and stored energy are observed, with the achieved triple product found to scale like the product of current, field, and radius. Observed energy confinement scaling with engineering parameters for RMP-ELM suppressed plasmas are presented and compared with expectations from established H and L-mode scalings, including treatment of uncertainty analysis. Different scaling exponents for individual engineering parameters are found as compared to the established scalings. However, extrapolation to next-step tokamaks ITER and SPARC find overall consistency within uncertainties with the established scalings, finding no obvious performance penalty when extrapolating from the assembled multi-device RMP-ELM suppressed database. Overall this work identifies common physics for RMP-ELM suppression and highlights the need to pursue this no-ELM regime at higher magnetic field and different plasma physical size.","PeriodicalId":19379,"journal":{"name":"Nuclear Fusion","volume":"98 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141753993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
