Interplay between magnetic shear and triangularity in ion temperature gradient and trapped electron mode dominated plasmas

Gabriele Merlo et al.

Summary: Local gyrokinetic simulations with the GENE code study the interaction between negative triangularity delta and magnetic shear s in ion temperature gradient and trapped electron mode dominated plasmas. Magnetic shear has a non-trivial influence on the effect of negative triangularity. It is found that delta < 0 leads to a reduction of fluxes when s > 1, but not when shear is reduced. In certain parameter regimes, this effect can be inverted, resulting in higher fluxes when delta < 0 compared to its delta > 0 counterpart.

The universal instability in optimised stellarators

P. Costello et al.

Summary: In tokamaks and neoclassically optimised stellarators, turbulent transport is expected to be the dominant transport mechanism. The trapped-electron mode (TEM), which drives turbulence, has been shown to be absent over large parameter space in quasi-isodynamic stellarator configurations. It is proposed that the passing-electron-driven universal instability may become the fastest-growing instability in these configurations. Gyrokinetic simulations using the Gene code show that the universal instability is dominant in a variety of stellarator geometries, particularly in devices like W7-X that have beneficial TEM stability properties.

The available energy of trapped electrons: a nonlinear measure for turbulent transport

R. J. J. Mackenbach et al.

Summary: This paper presents a calculation of the available energy carried by trapped electrons in a collisionless plasma. The calculation shows a strong correlation between the available energy and the turbulent energy fluxes found in gyrokinetic simulations. It is also found that deeply trapped electrons contribute the most to the available energy. Furthermore, the study reveals important differences in the available energy between weakly and strongly driven regimes in stellarators and tokamaks.

Bounce-averaged drifts: Equivalent definitions, numerical implementations, and example cases

R. J. J. Mackenbach et al.

Summary: In this article, we present various analytical and numerical methods for calculating the average drift of magnetically trapped particles in complex geometries. We compare these methods and find that the trapezoidal method has lower computational cost but sacrifices accuracy compared to more standard quadrature methods. We also investigate the effects of computational boundaries on particle drifts and find important differences depending on the specific implementation of the calculation. Finally, we study the bounce-averaged drifts in the NCSX stellarator and deduce important properties regarding trapped-particle modes and radial drifts.

Turbulence mitigation in maximum-J stellarators with electron-density gradient

J. H. E. Proll et al.

Summary: In fusion devices, the geometry of the confining magnetic field plays a crucial role in the instabilities that cause turbulent heat loss. A study on the Wendelstein 7-X experiment shows that optimizing its magnetic field configuration can not only reduce the transport driven by trapped electron modes, but also mitigate the ion-temperature-gradient modes as long as an electron density gradient exists. This finding provides theoretical support for the existence of enhanced confinement regimes in the presence of strong density gradients.

Effect of triangularity on ion-temperature-gradient-driven turbulence

J. M. Duff et al.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of triangularity on the linear and nonlinear properties of ion-temperature-gradient-driven turbulence. It was found that triangularity significantly influences the linear growth rates and nonlinear heat flux, with negative delta suppressing zonal modes and positive delta enhancing zonal flows.

Prospects for H-mode inhibition in negative triangularity tokamak reactor plasmas

A. O. Nelson et al.

Summary: Instability to high toroidal mode number ballooning modes is proposed as the primary gradient-limiting mechanism for tokamak equilibria with negative triangularity shaping, preventing access to strong H-mode regimes. Equilibria with negative triangularity are robustly prohibited from accessing the second stability region, suggesting that reactors should maintain L-mode-like operation.

Geometry dependence of the fluctuation intensity in gyrokinetic turbulence

G. M. Staebler et al.

Summary: The investigation focuses on the properties of 3D saturated fluctuation intensity of electric potential in gyrokinetic turbulence simulations, using linear eigenmodes and geometry shape functions to construct a model for accurate calculation of electron and ion energy flux poloidal wavenumber spectrum. New insights are gained into the way zonal flow mixing saturates ion-scale turbulence by controlling the radial wavenumber width of the turbulence spectrum.

Nonlocal effects in negative triangularity TCV plasmas

G. Merlo et al.

Summary: Global gradient driven gyrokinetic simulations using the GENE code were used to study Tokamak plasmas with negative triangularity. It was found that negative triangularity can improve electron energy confinement and reduce electron density fluctuations, with nonlocal effects playing a role in heat flux estimation. Despite the sensitivity of turbulence level to input parameters, global effects are crucial in reconciling simulations and experiments.

Verification of a quasi-linear model for gyrokinetic turbulent transport

G. M. Staebler et al.

Summary: This paper verifies and calibrates a new quasi-linear transport model based on a large database of gyrokinetic turbulence simulations. The modification of a key parameter in the model is found to be necessary for better fitting temperature and density gradients. The new model shows significantly improved fit in electron and ion energy fluxes compared to previous saturation models, leading to revisions in related models.

Ballooning instability preventing the H-mode access in plasmas with negative triangularity shape on the DIII-D tokamak

S. Saarelma et al.

Summary: Analysis of negative triangularity discharges on DIII-D shows that decreasing the top triangularity restricts access to 2nd stability, coinciding with the suppression of L-H transition. Theoretical analysis indicates that accessing 2nd stability with more negative triangular shape would require unrealistically high pedestal temperature. Additionally, predictions suggest that increasing core pressure in negative triangularity cases does not result in an increase in pedestal height, contrasting with positive triangular shapes.
