Numerical solutions of the dispersion equation are conducted to show the different effects of the suprathermal ions and electrons. We find that the suprathermal ions can enhance the instability in large wavenumbers but suppress it in small wavenumbers. Thus, the suprathermalization of ions could be one of the factors leading to a lower limit of wavenumbers for the ITG instabilities. Besides, the numerical calculations also imply that the thermal speed ratio affects the intensities of the suprathermal effects.

The current NBI ICS adopts a distributed design structure to balance the system load, which is also the mainstream system design and architecture model of ICS around the world. However, from a practical point of view, the distributed system architecture is not perfect. In the long run, upgrading the system intelligence and automation capabilities is an inevitable choice for the future, so it is necessary to explore ways to transform and upgrade the ICS. At present, Internet of Things (IoT), as an important part of the new generation information technology, can realize the control of everything through data exchange. This is because on the one hand, IoT has wide compatibility and powerful scenario-based capabilities, it not only has the advantages and characteristics of distributed design, but also can pull the NBI subsystems into the same level scenario and lay the foundation for the further construction of digital NBI; on the other hand, the intervention of artificial intelligence makes IoT have some new typical characteristics such as intelligent sensing, ubiquitous connectivity, precise control, digital modeling, real-time analysis and iterative optimization, which is enough to pull the current NBI ICS into a new intelligent control era. Finally, it is worth mentioning that due to its inherent design structure and functional characteristics, ICS tends to be broadly generic, so it is not exclusively used for NBI operation in nuclear fusion, and it can provide some insight into other application areas.","PeriodicalId":20239,"journal":{"name":"Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142181228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}

MHD is a multiphysics phenomenon involving both electromagnetism and incompressible fluid mechanics. From the computational point of view, the simulation of MHD flows in fusion relevant conditions entails a significant challenge. Indeed, due to the shape of the induced electrical currents inside the bulk of the fluid, high spatial resolutions are needed to capture the large gradients found in boundary layers and 3D effects. Besides, solving the equations accurately typically requires very small time steps for the transient algorithms. Over the past few decades, some parallel MHD codes have been developed with success to simulate complex flows in increasingly realistic geometries. Among them, the MHD tools of commercial CFD platforms have attracted attention due to their relatively soft learning curve. Most of these codes are based on the so called <italic toggle=\"yes\">ϕ</italic>-formulation which, by applying the divergence free condition of the current density to the Ohms law, reduces the electromagnetic part of the problem to a single Poisson equation. As a downside, the approach segregates the fluid and electromagnetic problem. In practice, this establishes important limits to the mesh element size, to the mesh quality and to the time-step needed to obtain accurate and stable solutions that maintains charge conservation at a discrete level. In this work, these limits are explored for the commercial platform ANSYS-Fluent using a test geometry under different conditions. As an alternative, a new code based on Finite Element Methods (FEM) is introduced as well. This open-source code, called GridapMHD (<ext-link ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"https://github.com/gridapapps/GridapMHD.jl\">https://github.com/gridapapps/GridapMHD.jl</ext-link>), aims at solving the full set of MHD equations using a monolithic approach.

These source-born impurities can entrain and be transported by the plasma toward a target, affecting plasma-material interaction studies. Earlier work on material testing in Prototype-Materials Plasma Exposure eXperiment at ORNL revealed significant source impurity deposition on downstream targets. However, using a similar RF source, no target impurity deposition is observed in Plasma Interaction Surface Component Experimental Station (PISCES)-RF despite evidence of RF window erosion in the source region, thereby motivating the present work. Experimentally, using various magnetic field configurations upstream of the PISCES-RF plasma source and seeding titanium (Ti) impurities at various axial locations, impurity transport and deposition along the machine axis were investigated. It was found that Ti deposition was localized to the side of the plasma source where the Ti impurity was seeded. In contrast, aluminum (Al) deposition, originating from the sputtering of the helicon window, occurred predominantly upstream of the plasma source, suggesting an asymmetry in the axial transport of eroded RF window material. These observations suggest a stagnation of the parallel plasma flow immediately downstream of the plasma source, with impurity ions remaining unmagnetized near the source upstream. Al deposition in magnetic field-free regions in PISCES-RF indicates that sputtered Al impurities likely remained neutral due to their large ionization mean-free path under PISCES-RF conditions. Plasma modeling and simulation supported this, indicating that Al-neutrals transport toward the helicon source upstream for low electron density cases. It was found that the Larmor radius of the Al ions was greater than the plasma radius towards the source upstream and remained weakly magnetized in PISCES-RF, meaning that plasma source-born impurities are not efficiently entrained in the plasma flow. These findings provide critical insights into impurity transport in helicon plasma-based LPDs.","PeriodicalId":20239,"journal":{"name":"Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142181246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}
