This review is devoted to tokamak plasmas with a cross sectional shape featuring negative
triangularity, which appear to hold great promise as a candidate reactor configuration owing …

The object of this review is to summarize the achievements of research on the Alcator C-Mod
tokamak [Hutchinson et al., Phys. Plasmas 1, 1511 (1994) and Marmar, Fusion Sci. Technol …

Edge-localized-modes (ELMs) are a ubiquitous feature of H-mode in tokamaks. When
gradients in the H-mode transport barrier grow to exceed the MHD stability limit the ELM …

We develop and test a model, EPED1. 6, for the H-mode pedestal height and width based
upon two fundamental and calculable constraints:(1) onset of non-local peeling–ballooning …

The high confinement regime known as H-mode is a promising operational regime for a
tokamak fusion device. H-mode is characterized by the development of a transport barrier …

The understanding and predictive capability of transport physics and plasma confinement is
reviewed from the perspective of achieving reactor-scale burning plasmas in the ITER …

A new modular code called BOUT++ is presented, which simulates 3D fluid equations in
curvilinear coordinates. Although aimed at simulating Edge Localised Modes (ELMs) in …

A critical issue for fusion-plasma research is the erosion of the first wall of the experimental
device due to impulsive heating from repetitive edge magneto-hydrodynamic instabilities …

, Nucl. Fusion 39, 2137 (1999)] remains an important challenge. While uncertainties remain,
magnetohydrodynamic stability calculations at intermediate wavelength (the “peeling …

Emerging high-performance distributed computing environments are enabling new end-to-
end formulations in science and engineering that involve multiple interacting processes and …
