In this paper, we revisit the physics of mitigated and unmitigated Vertical Displacement
Events (VDEs) and present a summary of present modelling efforts and code capabilities …

In order to prepare the operation of ITER, it is important to estimate the amplitude of the
runaway electron (RE) current that could appear following disruptions at large plasma …

Abstract 3D nonlinear MHD simulations of neon-doped single shattered pellet injection (SPI)
conducted with the JOREK code reveal rich physics during SPI-induced disruptions in …

Disruptions lead to a rapid loss of thermal and magnetic energy and can cause large heat
loads, mechanical forces, and the excitation of a beam of relativistic runaway electrons. The …

Shattered pellet injection (SPI) is a promising method for controlling plasma disruptions in
tokamaks. In this study, we present numerical modelling of the fragmentation of cryogenic …

A possible triggering mechanism of Alfvén waves (AWs) in tokamak plasmas, based on
localized perturbations induced by magnetic reconnection events, is discussed in the …

DECAF cross-device characterization of tokamak disruptions indicated by abnormalities in
plasma vertical position and current - IOPscience Skip to content IOP Science home …

Tokamak disruptions are associated with breaking magnetic surfaces, which makes
magnetic field lines chaotic in large regions of the plasma. The enforcement of quasi …

A Helmholtz decomposition separates the electric field in a plasma into the sum of a
divergence-free, $\vec {E} _B $, and a curl-free, $\vec {E} _q $, part. The uniqueness of the …

A disruption mitigation system (DMS) is necessary for fusion-grade tokamaks like ITER in
order to ensure the preservation of machine components throughout their designated …
