The transition between the ELMy H-mode and the EDA H-mode is studied on Alcator C-Mod using an experimental database and predictive pedestal models. High-resolution Thomson scattering measurements are used to compare the pedestal density,…
The separatrix operational space (SepOS) model [Eich \& Manz, \emph{Nuclear Fusion} (2021)] is shown to predict the L-H transition, the L-mode density limit, and the ideal MHD ballooning limit in terms of separatrix parameters for a wide…
Predictive and real-time inference capability for the upstream separatrix electron density, $n_\text{e, sep}$, is essential for design and control of core-edge integrated plasma scenarios. In this study, both supervised and semi-supervised…
Fusion power plants require ELM-free, detached operation to prevent divertor damage and erosion. The separatrix operational space (SepOS) is proposed as a tool for identifying access to the type-I ELM-free quasi-continuous exhaust regime.…
Experimental measurements of plasma and neutral profiles across the pedestal are used in conjunction with 2D edge modeling to examine pedestal stiffness in Alcator C-Mod H-mode plasmas. Experiments on Alcator C-Mod observed pedestal…
The rapid deposition of energy by Edge Localised Modes (ELMs) onto plasma facing components, is a potentially serious issue for large Tokamaks such as ITER and DEMO. The trigger for ELMs is believed to be the ideal Magnetohydrodynamic…
An open-source database of 457 experimental and numerical entries representing 32 machines$-$including tokamaks, stellarators, and linear plasma devices$-$is assembled. From this dataset, we derive multi-machine scaling laws that predict…
The development of operational scenarios without large Type-I ELMs is of utmost importance for the stable operation and longevity of future tokamaks. The EUROfusion tokamak exploitation program has therefore made the understanding of…
The design of commercially feasible magnetic confinement fusion reactors strongly relies on the reduced turbulent transport in the plasma edge during operation in the high confinement mode (H-mode). We present first global turbulence…
An H-mode plasma state free of edge-localized mode (ELM), close to the L-H transition with clear density and temperature pedestal has been observed both at the Joint European Torus (JET) and at the ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) tokamaks usually…
Access conditions for full suppression of Edge Localised Modes (ELMs) by Magnetic Perturbations (MP) in low density high confinement mode (H-mode) plasmas are studied in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak. The main empirical requirements for full…
Edge localised modes (ELMs) allow maintaining sufficient purity of tokamak H-mode plasmas and thus enable stationary H-mode. On the other hand in a future device ELMs may cause divertor power flux densities far in excess of tolerable…
The density dependence of edge-localized-mode (ELM) suppression and density pump-out (density reduction) by n = 2 resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) is consistent with the effects of narrow well-separated magnetic islands at the top and…
An analytic theory of edge localized mode (ELM) suppression in an H-mode tokamak plasma via the application of a static, externally generated, resonant magnetic perturbation (RMP) is presented. This theory is based on the plausible…
Experimental inferences of cross-field particle flux at the separatrix, $\Gamma_{\perp}^\mathrm{sep}$, show rapid growth near H-mode and L-mode density limits at high magnetic field on Alcator C-Mod. Increases in…
This paper reports the achievement of an ELM-free H-mode regime with confinement improvement enabled by nitrogen (N2) seeding on the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) with a full metal wall. Following N2 injection, large…
Recent data, added to the ITPA global H-mode database [1] for ASDEX-U [2] and JET-ILW, reveals that the separatrix density $n_{sep}$ has a correlation with the H20 factor (Confinement time relative to the ITPA20-IL scaling)[1]. These trends…
At the high $n_{e}$ proposed for high-field fusion reactors, it is uncertain whether ionization, as opposed to plasma transport, will be most influential in determining $n_{e}$ at the pedestal and separatrix. A database of Alcator C-Mod…
Uncertainties and errors in magnetic equilibrium reconstructions are a wide-spread problem in interpreting experimental data measured in the tokamak edge. This study demonstrates errors in EFIT++ reconstructions performed on the COMPASS…
Enhanced $D_{\alpha}$ H-mode (EDA H-mode), an ELM-free H-mode regime, is explored in neutral beam heated, lower single null plasmas with near zero torque injection. This regime exhibits a good energy confinement…
