Saskatchewan Torus-Modified (STOR-M) is a small tokamak, well known for various fusion related basic experimental studies such as edge turbulent heating, different instabilities, AC (alternating current) tokamak operation, Ohmic H-mode…
Compact torus injection is considered as a high promising approach to realize central fueling in the future tokamak device. Recently, a compact torus injection system has been developed for the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak,…
Solenoid-free tokamak startup techniques are essential for spherical tokamaks and offer a pathway to cost reduction and design simplification in fusion energy systems. Local helicity injection (LHI) is one such approach, employing compact…
We present results from three-dimensional ideal magnetohydrodynamic simulations of low $\beta$ compact toroid (CT) injection into a hot strongly magnetized plasma, with the aim of providing insight into CT fueling of a tokamak with…
A pulsed oscillating power amplifier has been developed to apply high frequency biasing voltage to an electrode at the edge of the STOR-M tokamak plasma. The power amplifier can deliver a peak-to-peak oscillating voltage up to 120V and…
The conventional approach for thermal quench mitigation in a tokamak disruption is through a high-Z impurity injection that radiates away the plasma's thermal energy before it reaches the wall. The downside is a robust Ohmic-to-runaway…
A new model of fast ion source induced by Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) in tokamaks has been implemented in the hybrid kinetic-magnetohydrodynamic code XTOR-K. This source, combined with the collisions also recently implemented, allows for…
Proton-Boron fusion requires extreme ion temperatures and robust confinement, making Spherical Tokamaks (ST) with high-power neutral beam injection primary candidates. In these devices, strong toroidal rotation and the large mass disparity…
This review article will offer a qualitative overview of the strongly reversed shear profile for steady-state operation in tokamaks. For a steady-state reactor to be commercially viable, it is necessary to have a large bootstrap fraction.…
Based on the analysis of a large number of high-fidelity nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations, we propose a novel strategy to improve confinement in spherical tokamak plasmas by combining up-down asymmetric flux surface shaping with the Low…
A pulsed oscillating power amplifier has been developed for high frequency biasing\cite{kn:deb1} and real time turbulent feedback experiment in STOR-M tokamak. It is capable to provide output peak to peak oscillating voltage of around…
The spin-momentum locking at the Dirac surface state of a topological insulator (TI) offers a distinct possibility of a highly efficient charge-to-spin current (C-S) conversion compared with spin Hall effects in conventional paramagnetic…
Strong $E\times B$ plasma flow shear is beneficial for reducing turbulent transport. However, traditional methods of driving flow shear do not scale well to large devices such as future fusion power plants. In this paper, we use a large…
Despite high demonstrated efficiency, lower-hybrid current drive (LHCD) has not been considered localized enough for neoclassical tearing mode (NTM) stabilization in tokamaks. This assessment must be reconsidered in view of the RF current…
The precession of a ferromagnet leads to the injection of spin current and heat into an adjacent non-magnetic material. Besides, spin-orbit entanglement causes an additional charge current injection. Such a device has been recently proposed…
The effect of momentum injection on the temperature gradient in tokamak plasmas is studied. A plausible scenario for transitions to reduced transport regimes is proposed. The transition happens when there is sufficient momentum input so…
The effectiveness of multiple electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) harmonics has been thoroughly investigated in context of high current drive efficiency, generally observed in fully non-inductive operation of the low aspect ratio EXL-50…
Recent tokamak experiments employing off-axis, non-inductive current drive have found that a large central current hole can be produced. The current density is measured to be approximately zero in this region, though in principle there was…
The Tore Supra tokamak is the largest superconducting magnetic fusion facility, has been devoted to long-duration high-performance discharge research. With a steady-state magnetic field and water cooled plasma facing components, discharges…
The main `bottleneck' limiting the beam power in circular machines is caused by space charge effects that produce beam instabilities. To increase maximally the beam power of a `proton driver', it is proposed to build a facility consisting…
