This paper reports on the development of reduced models for electron temperature gradient (ETG) driven transport in the pedestal. Model development is enabled by a set of 61 nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations with input parameters taken from the pedestals in a broad range of experimental scenarios. The simulation data has been consolidated in a new …

We present the results of GENE gyrokinetic calculations based on a series of JET-ILW type I ELMy H-mode discharges operating with similar experimental inputsbut at different levels of power and gas fuelling. We show that turbulence due to slab electron-temperature-gradient modes (sETGs) produces a significant amount of heat flux in four JET-ILW …

MAST has undergone a substantial upgrade [1], featuring among other things several new poloidal field coils mostly distributed around the new closed-throat divertor structure and an enlarged centre column. The considerable changes have required the plasma control software to be substantially re-written. The MAST digital plasma control system […
