Multi-machine validation of full electromagnetic plasma initiation modelling with DYON was carried out by the joint modelling of the International Tokamak Physics Activity (ITPA) – Integrating Operating Scenario (IOS) group. The following devices were included in the experiment database: VEST (spherical torus, copper coils, Stainless steel wa…
This paper describes the development of electromagnetic plasma burn-through model. Full circuit equations describing the currents in solenoid, poloidal field coil, and toroidally conducting passive structure have been integrated into the differential equation system of the plasma energy and particle balances in DYON. This enables consistent calcula…
