"Modelling of Plasma-edge and Plasma- Wall Interaction Physics at JET with the Metallic First-Wall"

S. Wiesen M. Groth S. Brezinsek M. Wischmeier JET contributors

An overview is given on the recent progress on edge modelling activities for the JET ITER like wall using the computational tools like the SOLPS or EDGE2D-EIRENE code. The validation process of these codes on JET with its metallic plasma-facing components is an important step towards predictive studies for ITER and DEMO in relevant divertor operati…

"Impact of Localized Gas Injection on ICRF Coupling and SOL Parameters in JET-ILW H-Mode Plasmas"

E. Lerche M. Goniche P. Jacquet D. Van Eester V. Bobkov L. Colas A. Czarnecka S. Brezinsek M.Brix K. Crombe M. Graham M. Groth I. Monakhov T. Mathurin G. Matthews L. Meneses C. Noble V. Petrzilka F. Rimini A. Shaw JET-EFDA Contributors

Recent JET-ILW [1,2] experiments reiterated the importance of tuning the plasma fuelling in order to optimize ion cyclotron resonance frequency (ICRF) heating in high power H-mode discharges. By fuelling the plasma from gas injection modules (GIMs) located in the midplane and on the top of the machine instead of adopting the more standardly used di…

"Improved EDGE2D-EIRENE Simulations of JET ITER-like Wall L-mode Discharges Utilising Poloidal VUV/visible Spectral Emission Profiles"

K.D. Lawson M. Groth P. Belo S. Brezinsek G. Corrigan A. Czarnecka E. Delabie P. Drewelow D. Harting I. KsiaSek C.F. Maggi C. Marchetto A.G. Meigs S. Menmuir M.F. Stamp S. Wiesen JET-EFDA Contributors

A discrepancy in the divertor radiated powers between EDGE2D-EIRENE simulations, both with and without drifts, and JET-ILW experiments employing a set of NBI-heated L-mode discharges with step-wise density variation is investigated. Results from a VUV/visible poloidally scanning spectrometer are used together with bolometric measurements to determi…

"Intra-ELM Phase Modelling of a JET ITER-like Wall H-mode Discharge with EDGE2D-EIRENE"

D.M. Harting S. Wiesen M. Groth S. Brezinsek G. Corrigan G. Arnoux P. Boerner S. Devaux J. Flanagan A. Järvinen S. Marsen D. Reiter JET-EFDA contributors

We present the application of an improved EDGE2D-EIRENE SOL transport model for the ELM phase utilizing kinetic correction of the sheath-heat-transmission coefficients and heat-flux-limiting factors used in fluid SOL modelling. With a statistical analysis over a range of similar Type-I ELMy H-mode discharges performed at the end of the first JET IT…

"The effects of impurities and core pressure on pedestal stability in Joint European Torus (JET)"

S. Saarelma A. Järvinen M. Beurskens C. Challis L. Frassinetti C. Giroud M. Groth M. Leyland C. Maggi J. Simpson JET Contributors

The H-mode pedestal plays an important role in determining global confinement in tokamaks. In high triangularity H-mode experiments in Joint European Torus with the ITER-like wall (JET-ILW), significantly higher pedestal temperature and global confinement have been achieved with nitrogen seeding. The experimentally observed increase in pedestal hei…
