Alternative Divertor Configurations (ADCs) often make use of high total flux expansion
(fR) and connection length (L∥) to improve the access to and the controllability of
detachment, a regime vitally important for reactor-class tokamaks such as the Spherical
Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP). However, there has been little effort in assessi…
Fusion energy offers the potential for a near limitless source of low-carbon energy and is oftenregarded as a solution for the world’s long-term energy needs. To realise such a scenario requiresthe design of high-performance fusion reactors capable of maintaining the extreme conditionsnecessary to enable fusion. Turbulence …
