In this paper, we analyze the results of neutral-beam current drive (NBCD) experiments, performed in the TJ-II stellarator, with the aim of validating the theoretical predictions. Both parallel and anti-parallel injection with respect to…
A qualitative theoretical approach is proposed for the study of fast ion behavior in tokamak plasmas with a current hole. For the equilibrium magnetic configuration in a current hole tokamak we employ a simplified model based on an…
A change of the particle density (by gas puff, pellets or impurity seeding) during the plasma discharge in tokamak produces a radial current and implicitly a torque and rotation that can modify the state of confinement. After ionization the…
We present first principles simulations of the direct collisionless coupling of the free energy of fusion-born ions into electron current in a magnetically confined fusion plasma. These simulations demonstrate, for the first time, a key…
A lumped parameter model for tokamak plasma current and inductance time evolution as function of plasma resistance, non-inductive current drive sources and boundary voltage or poloidal field (PF) coil current drive is presented. The model…
Previous experiments on MAST and other tokamaks have indicated that the level of fast ion redistribution can exceed that expected from classical diffusion and that this level increases with beam power. In this paper we present a…
The neoclassical polarization current, generated when a magnetic island propagates through a tokamak plasma, is believed to influence the initial stage of the neoclassical tearing mode evolution. Understanding the strength of its…
We simulate ion loss induced by neutral beam injection (NBI) in three-dimensional (3D) space with high fidelity on the plasma-facing components (PFCs) of the Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) device. Utilizing a 3D…
A control oriented, lumped parameter model for the tokamak transformer including the slow flux penetration in the plasma (skin effect transformer model) is presented. The model does not require detailed or explicit information about plasma…
The effect of the perturbed ion polarization current on the stability of neoclassical tearing modes is calculated using an improved, neoclassical, four-field, drift-MHD model. The calculation involves the self-consistent determination of…
The understanding of the halo current properties during disruptions is key to design and operate large scale tokamaks in view of the large thermal and electromagnetic loads that they entail. For the first time, we present a fully…
Ion orbit loss is considered important for generating the radially inward electric field $E_r$ in a tokamak edge plasma. In particular, this effect is emphasized in diverted tokamaks with a magnetic X point. In neoclassical equilibria,…
Characteristics of ion acceleration in the internal magnetic reconnection events (IRE) have been studied by means of a neutral particle energy analyzer (NPA) in Tokyo Spherical Tokamak (TST-2). The major and minor radii are 0.38 m and…
We investigate self-consistent, steady-state axisymmetric solutions of incompressible tokamak plasma using a visco-resistive magnetohydrodynamic model. A key contribution of this work is the formulation of Poisson's equation that governs…
The key basis for tokamak plasma disruption modeling is to understand how currents flow to the plasma facing surfaces during plasma disruption events. In ITER tokamak, the occurrence of a limited number of major disruptions will…
Tokamak plasma current start-up assisted by Electron Bernstein waves (EBW) has been demonstrated successfully in a number of experiments. The dynamic start-up phase involves a change in field topology, as the initially open magnetic field…
This study investigates the effect of the ion-to-electron temperature ratio ($T_i/T_e$) on microturbulence driven transport in Quiescent H-mode (QH-mode) plasmas in the DIII-D tokamak. Utilizing the Gyrokinetic Toroidal Code (GTC) and the…
Trapped ion modes (TIM) belong to the family of ion temperature gradient (ITG) modes, which are one of the important ingredients in heat turbulent transport at the ion scale in tokamak plasmas. It is essential to properly estimate their…
We analyse the time-dependence of currents in a 1D Bose gas in an optical lattice. For a 1D system, the stability of currents induced by accelerating the lattice exhibits a broad crossover as a function of the magnitude of the acceleration,…
The time varying currents in the Ohmic transformer in the SST-1 tokamak induce voltages that drive large eddy currents in the passive structures like the vacuum vessel and cryostat. Since the vacuum vessel and the cryostat are toroidally…
