Overview of the FTU results

Basil Duval, Olivier Sauter, Holger Reimerdes, Jonathan Rossel, Alexander Karpushov, Duccio Testa, Lucia Isabel Federspiel, Dávid Wágner, Gabriele Grosso, Doohyun Kim, Cristian Galperti, Donghyun Kim

Since the 2012 IAEA-FEC Conference, FTU operations have been largely devoted to runaway electrons generation and control, to the exploitation of the 140 GHz electron cyclotron (EC) system and to liquid metal limiter elements. Experiments on runaway electro ...

Effects of central electron cyclotron power on plasma rotation and on triggerless onset of NTMs in the TCV tokamak

Basil Duval, Olivier Sauter, Holger Reimerdes, Jonathan Rossel, Alexander Karpushov, Duccio Testa, Lucia Isabel Federspiel, Dávid Wágner, Doohyun Kim, Donghyun Kim

Experiments on the TCV tokamak show that high power central electron cyclotron heating (ECH) and current drive (ECCD) produce significant direct modification of the plasma rotation profile, as well as the effect on the equilibrium current density. These ef ...

On the non-stiffness of edge transport in L-mode tokamak plasmas

Stephan Brunner, Roland Behn, Basil Duval, Timothy Goodman, Olivier Sauter, Stefano Coda, Alexander Karpushov, Yann Camenen, Lucia Isabel Federspiel, Doohyun Kim, Gabriele Merlo, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle, Donghyun Kim

Transport analyses using first-principle turbulence codes and 11/2-D transport codes usually study radial transport properties between the tokamak plasma magnetic axis and a normalized minor radius around 0.8. In this region, heat transport shows significa ...

Development of real-time plasma analysis and control algorithms for the TCV tokamak using SIMULINK

Basil Duval, Timothy Goodman, Jean-Marc Moret, Olivier Sauter, Stefano Coda, Lucia Isabel Federspiel, Alessandro Bortolon, Andreas Pitzschke, James Paley, Francesco Piras, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Wouter Vijvers, Hoang Bao Le

One of the key features of the new digital plasma control system installed on the TCV tokamak is the possibility to rapidly design, test and deploy real-time algorithms. With this flexibility the new control system has been used for a large number of new e ...

Indirect measurement of poloidal rotation using inboard–outboard asymmetry of toroidal rotation and comparison with neoclassical predictions

Basil Duval, Olivier Sauter, Alexander Karpushov, Yanis Andrebe, Yann Camenen, Lucia Isabel Federspiel, Alessandro Bortolon

An alternative experimental spectroscopic measurement of poloidal plasma rotation in toroidally confined plasmas is proven effective in the TCV tokamak. Charge exchange recombination measurements of the toroidal rotation profile over the full mid-plane pla ...

Experimental demonstration of an up-down asymmetry effect on intrinsic rotation in the TCV tokamak

Basil Duval, Olivier Sauter, Alexander Karpushov, Yann Camenen, Lucia Isabel Federspiel, Alessandro Bortolon, Francesco Piras

A new mechanism has recently been proposed that generates a radial flux of parallel momentum in toroidal plasmas. Namely, by considering up-down asymmetric flux surfaces, the symmetry following the magnetic field can be broken and an additional contributio ...

Experimental Evidence of Momentum Transport Induced by an Up-Down Asymmetric Magnetic Equilibrium in Toroidal Plasmas

Basil Duval, Olivier Sauter, Alexander Karpushov, Yann Camenen, Lucia Isabel Federspiel, Alessandro Bortolon, Francesco Piras

The first experimental evidence of parallel momentum transport generated by the up-down asymmetry of a toroidal plasma is reported. The experiments, conducted in the Tokamak a` Configuration Variable, were motivated by the recent theoretical discovery of i ...
