Non-linear MHD simulations play an essential role in active research and understanding of tokamak plasmas for fusion energy. The development of MHD codes like JOREK is a key aspect of this research effort. In this paper, we present a fully-working version of the full-MHD model in JOREK, a significant advancement from the reduced-MHD model used f…

Reduced activation ferritic steels are an attractive option for use in large structural components surrounding tokamak plasmas in future fusion power plants, but their ferromagnetic response to the confining magnetic fields must be properly understood. Simultaneously, the advantages of operating at high plasma elongation push tokamak designs tow…

Anisotropy and some limiting toroidal flow effects on the stability of non resonant ideal magnetohydrodynamic modes in hybrid shaped tokamak plasmas are investigated within the ideal MHD infernal mode framework. Such effects are found to alter the plasma magnetic well/hill, which can be interpreted as imparing the average curvature, and the stre…

In tokamak operation the control of dangerous MHD instabilities, possibly in r-t scenarios, must rely on prompt robust diagnostics of the state and stability of the system. The set of magnetic signals measured on the outside of the plasma boundary, based on the Zakharov-Shafranov, Shkarowsky, Wootton (ZSSW) current moments has been always used f…

One of the biggest challenges to achieve the goal of producing fusion energy in tokamak devices is the necessity of avoiding disruptions of the plasma current due to instabilities. The Disruption Event Characterization and Forecasting (DECAF) framework has been developed in this purpose, integrating physics models of many causal events that can …

We present an ultrafast neural network (NN) turbulent tokamak transport model, QLKNN, for heat and particle fluxes. QLKNN is a surrogate model based on a database of 3 · 108 flux calculations of the quasilinear gyrokinetic transport model QuaLiKiz. To ensure accurate reproduction of the underlying model, we include known features of the…

A Doppler coherence imaging spectroscopy diagnostic has been developed on the HL- 2A tokamak for scrape-off-layer impurity plasma flow measurements. Two- dimensional imaging of line-averaged C2+ flow in the high-field-side scrape off layer with time resolution up to 1 ms, has been achieved successfully by this system. The spatial angular resolut…

To ensure optimal plasma performance at high Qfus for the baseline scenario foreseen for the International Tokamak Experimental Reactor (ITER), fuelling requirements, in particular for non-stationary phases, need to be assessed by means of integrated modelling due to different expected fuelling behaviour and additional challenges that need to be ad…

It is demonstrated that tokamak plasma can be fuelled by pellets while simultaneously maintaining ELM suppression by external resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs). Pellets are injected from vertical high field site and deposited at outer part of plasma cross section. Each pellet triggers benign MHD event followed by short lived ELM free phase. Th…

This paper gives guidelines for assessing the structural integrity of plasma facing components (PFC)when irradiated to the levels expected in DEMO after two full power years. The paper is part 2 of a 3-part paper describing the EuroFusion DEMO Divertor group (WPDIV) Inelastic Analysis procedure (IAP), created to improve the assessment of PFCs, a…
