Cooling flow regime of a plasma thermal quench

Yanzeng Zhang et al.

Summary: A localized energy or particle sink introduced into a nearly collisionless plasma can trigger a plasma thermal collapse, known as a thermal quench. We demonstrate that electron thermal conduction in such a plasma follows the convective energy transport scaling due to ambipolar transport, resulting in a robust cooling flow and the formation of four propagating fronts along the magnetic field line. The slowest front is a shock front responsible for deep cooling.

Fluid turbulence simulations of divertor heat load for ITER hybrid scenario using BOUT plus

Xueyun Wang et al.

Summary: The BOUT++ six-field turbulence code was used to simulate different scenarios of ITER operation and compare their characteristics. The study found that different types of ELMs dominate in different scenarios and result in varying energy loss fractions.

Prediction of divertor heat flux width for ITER pre-fusion power operation using BOUT plus plus transport code

X. X. He et al.

Summary: This study predicts the heat flux width of the divertor in the first and second pre-fusion power operation (PFPO) phases of the ITER research plan using the BOUT++ transport code. The results show two distinct regimes: a drift-dominant regime and a turbulence-dominant regime. The investigation also highlights the effects of separatrix temperature and collisionality on the heat flux width.

Turbulent broadening of electron heat-flux width in electromagnetic gyrokinetic simulations of a helical scrape-off layer model

N. R. Mandell et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that electromagnetic effects can moderately increase cross field transport in the scrape-off layer (SOL) in high-beta regimes, leading to broadening of the electron heat-flux width on the endplates.

Collisionless plasma transport mechanisms in stochastic open magnetic field lines in tokamaks

Min-Gu Yoo et al.

Summary: The study explores collisionless plasma transport in stochastic magnetic fields connecting to wall boundary, revealing the dynamics of plasma in three-dimensional stochastic open magnetic field lines and the impact on thermal transport. The E x B vortices induced by the 3D ambipolar potential play a crucial role in mixing plasma across stochastic field lines and enhancing radial transport, leading to the loss of high-energy trapped electrons and a steady decrease in electron temperature during thermal quench.

Comparing spontaneous and pellet-triggered ELMs via non-linear extended MHD simulations

A. Cathey et al.

Summary: This paper presents non-linear simulations of spontaneous type-I ELMs and pellet-triggered ELMs in ASDEX Upgrade, comparing the dynamics of these events and studying the dependencies on pellet size and injection times. The simulations include realistic plasma flows and bootstrap current evolution, capturing the balance between stabilising and destabilising terms for edge instabilities. Observations show that pellet-triggered ELMs have reduced energy losses and a narrower divertor wetted area compared to spontaneous ELMs, with peak divertor energy fluence decreasing when pellets are injected earlier.

Thermal quench and current profile relaxation dynamics in massive-material-injection-triggered tokamak disruptions

E. Nardon et al.

Summary: 3D non-linear magnetohydrodynamic simulations of disruptions triggered by a massive injection of argon gas in JET were conducted using the JOREK code. The key role of thermal drive and the impact of varying the amplitude and position of the argon source on the disruption process were highlighted. Comparisons with experimental measurements through synthetic diagnostics validated the model to some extent.
