The particle balance and power loss analysis revealed the crucial role of Molecular Activated Recombination and Dissociation (MAR and MAD) ion sinks in divertor particle and power balance, which remain pronounced in the change from ohmic to higher power (NBI heated) L-mode conditions. The importance of MAR and MAD remains with double the absorbed NBI heating. MAD results in significant power dissipation (up to of ), mostly in the cold ( eV) detached region. Theoretical and experimental evidence is found for the potential contribution of to MAR and MAD, which warrants further study. These results suggest that MAR and MAD can be relevant in higher power conditions than the ohmic conditions studied previously. Post-processing reactor-scale simulations suggests that MAR and MAD can play a significant role in divertor physics and synthetic diagnostic signals of reactor-scale devices, which are currently underestimated in exhaust simulations. This raises implications for the accuracy of reactor-scale divertor simulations of particularly tightly baffled (alternative) divertor configurations.","PeriodicalId":19379,"journal":{"name":"Nuclear Fusion","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141547528","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}

Previous studies have revealed the presence of unstable hybrid kinetic ballooning modes (hKBMs) and subdominant microtearing modes at binormal scales approaching the ion Larmor radius. In this STEP plasma it was found that the hKBM requires the inclusion of parallel magnetic-field perturbations to be linearly unstable. Here, the extent to which the inclusion of fluctuations in the parallel magnetic-field can be relaxed is explored through gyrokinetic simulations. In particular, the frequently used MHD approximation (dropping and setting the drift frequency equal to the curvature drift frequency) is discussed and simulations explore whether this approximation is useful for modelling STEP plasmas. It is shown that the MHD approximation can reproduce some of the linear properties of the full STEP gyrokinetic system, but is too stable at low ky and nonlinear simulations using the MHD approximation result in very different transport states. It is demonstrated that the MHD approximation is challenged by the high values in STEP, and that the approximation improves considerably at lower . Furthermore, it is shown that the sensitivity of STEP to fluctuations is primarily because the plasma sits close to marginality and it is shown that in slightly more strongly driven conditions the hKBM is unstable without Crucially, it is demonstrated that the state of large transport typically predicted by local electromagnetic gyrokinetic simulations of STEP plasmas is not solely due to physics.","PeriodicalId":19379,"journal":{"name":"Nuclear Fusion","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141530672","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}

The detachment threshold can be reduced by using in-slot instead of main-chamber gas fuelling or by placing the strike point on the inner slanted slot baffle instead of the slot end, as described by simulations with full drift physics. When increasing the plasma line-averaged density (without extrinsic impurities), the transition to detachment in DIII-D slot divertor is sharp and requires a high value of plasma density with the ion drift into the slot, whereas it is smooth and requires a lower value of plasma density with the opposite drift direction, in accord with detachment experiments in the DIII-D open lower divertor.

The surface temperature measurement from IR images remains challenging due to the presence of metallic targets, with changes in surface thermo-radiative properties (emissivity) and the presence of multiple reflections. The paper provides an overview of major progress to improve the interpretation of IR image and to get more reliable surface temperature from IR synthetic diagnostics. The paper presents the latest development of (1) the forward model to include the modelling of the edge localised modes and a new advanced camera that is better adapted to experimental data (2) the inverse model to retrieve the emissivity of the targets and the surface temperature from a neural network trained exclusively from synthetic IR images.

Experimentally inferred power balance fluxes are mostly reproduced within one standard deviation across a wide portion of the minor radius. Experimental conditions are reproduced by ion scale simulations, without the need to include density and temperature profile curvature effects. The experimental case is used as baseline to predict that the non-dimensional confinement scaling in negative triangularity plasmas increases strongly with plasma current while slightly degrading at increasing normalized pressure and decreasing collisionality. Recent experiments showed that low toroidal rotation negatively impacts confinement; consistent with the experiment, simulations predict that low rotational shear significantly affects confinement unless the plasma effective charge is maintained above a minimum level. Core confinement is predicted to significantly degrade in low aspect ratio devices.","PeriodicalId":19379,"journal":{"name":"Nuclear Fusion","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141530673","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}

However, SPARC also features a relatively thick conducting wall that is designed to withstand disruption forces, leading to lower vertical instability growth rates than usually encountered. In this work, we use the TokSyS framework to survey families of accessible shapes near the SPARC baseline configuration, finding maximum growth rates in the range of s−1. The addition of steel vertical stability plates has only a modest ( ) effect on reducing the vertical growth rate and almost no effect on the plasma controllability when the full vertical stability system is taken into account, providing flexibility in the plate conductivity in the SPARC design. Analysis of the maximum controllable displacement on SPARC is used to inform the power supply voltage and current limit requirements needed to control an initial vertical displacement of 5% of the minor radius. From the expected spectra of plasma disturbances and diagnostic noise, requirements for filter latency and vertical stability coil heating tolerances are also obtained. Small modifications to the outboard limiter location are suggested to allow for an unmitigated vertical disturbance as large as 5% of the minor radius without allowing the plasma to become limited. Further, investigations with the 3D COMSOL code reveal that strategic inclusion of insulating structures within the VSC supports are needed to maintain sufficient magnetic response. The workflows presented here help to establish a model for the integrated predictive design for future devices by coupling engineering decisions with physics needs.","PeriodicalId":19379,"journal":{"name":"Nuclear Fusion","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141514859","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}
