Optimal control theory is usually formulated as an indirect method requiring the solution of a two-point boundary value problem. Practically, the solution is obtained by iterative forward and backward propagation of quantum wavepackets.…
Multipoint or multichannel observations in plasmas can frequently be modelled as an instantaneous mixture of contributions (waves, emissions, ...) of different origins. Recovering the individual sources from their mixture then becomes one…
Solutions to a model 2D eigenmode equation describing micro-instabilities in tokamak plasmas are presented that demonstrate a sensitivity of the mode structure and stability to plasma profiles. In narrow regions of parameter space, with…

The time evolution of a collisionless plasma is modeled by the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system which couples the Vlasov equation (the transport equation) with the Maxwell equations of electrodynamics. We consider the case that the plasma…
Rotation of tokamak-plasmas, not at the mechanical equilibrium, is investigated utilizing a theorem of thermodynamics, established by Prigogine. This theorem, suitably applied to toroidally confined plasmas, suggests that the global…

Self-consistent modeling of turbulence-driven transport is critical for optimizing confinement in magnetically confined fusion plasmas, such as in tokamaks and stellarators. In particular, capturing the long-term co-evolution of turbulence,…
The test particle Monte-Carlo models for neutral particles are often used in the tokamak edge modelling codes. The drawback of this approach is that the self-consistent solution suffers from random error introduced by the statistical…

Divertor plasma detachment is likely needed for the function of magnetically confined nuclear fusion. It greatly reduces the particle and heat flux incident on a target, and thus reduces the sputtering and heat loading on the target. It is…
