Self-consistent Simulations of ICRH with the Background Equilibrium in Tokamaks and Stellarators

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Martin Jucker, Jonathan Graves

The SCENIC code package has been developed to integrate self-consistently an anisotropic pressure magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium state with power absorption from Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating and with a guiding center particle distribution function for ...

Power requirements for electron cyclotron current drive and ion cyclotron resonance heating for sawtooth control in ITER

Timothy Goodman, Olivier Sauter, Stefano Coda, Martin Jucker, Jonathan Graves, Costanza Zucca, Otto Asunta

13 MW of electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) power deposited inside the q = 1 surface is likely to reduce the sawtooth period in ITER baseline scenario below the level empirically predicted to trigger neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs). However, since t ...

Numerical modelling of electromagnetic turbulent transport of energetic ions in burning plasmas

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Ambrogio Fasoli, Martin Jucker, Jonathan Graves, Xavier Lapillonne, Mattia Albergante

We investigate the redistribution of the neutral beam driven current in the presence of small scale turbulence in the ITER steady-state scenario. Gyrokinetic simulations show that anomalous transport of beam ions can be larger than collisional estimates. T ...

Sawtooth control in ITER using ion cyclotron resonance heating

Olivier Sauter, Martin Jucker, Jonathan Graves, Otto Asunta

Numerical modelling of the effects of ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) on the stability of the internal kink mode suggests that ICRH should be considered as an essential sawtooth control tool in ITER. Sawtooth control using ICRH is achieved by direct ...

Self-Consistent ICRH Distribution Functions and Equilibria in Magnetically Confined Plasmas

Martin Jucker

The deployment of high power radio frequency waves in the ion cyclotron range (ICRF) constitutes an important operational facility in many plasma devices, including ITER. Any charged particle describes a helical motion around a given magnetic field line, t ...

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Martin Jucker, Jonathan Graves

Using a generalized anisotropic tokamak equilibrium and an exact guiding centre drift formulation, the effect of parallel and perpendicular anisotropy on the toroidal precession drift is investigated. Signiﬁcant differences between parallel and perpendicul ...
