With ITER, the largest tokamak ever built, and the growing number of fusion energy startups
in the world, the need for numerical simulations has never been more crucial to progress …

Understanding and predicting plasma turbulence in the scrape-off layer of a magnetic
confinement fusion device is a key open problem in modern plasma physics. The transitional …

Turbulent dynamics in the scrape-off layer of magnetic fusion devices is intermittent with
large fluctuations in density and pressure. Therefore, a model is required that allows …

Recently the drift-reduced Landau fluid six-field turbulence model within the BOUT++
framework [1] has been upgraded. In particular, this new model employs a new …

Edge turbulence codes will play a key role in the interpretation of ITER data and for reliable
predictions of EU-DEMO. At present, such codes are not yet capable of routine simulations …

This work investigates the parallel coherence of plasma filaments through numerical
simulations using the hot-ion two-fluid hermes-2 model within the BOUT++ framework …

Plasma filaments have been observed by reciprocating electric probes in the Scrape-Off
Layer (SOL) of the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator. Comparison with target probes indicates that …

A review of recent advances in simulations of turbulent filaments with relevance to
stellarators is presented. Progress in performing global edge turbulence simulations is …

Results of a three-dimensional, flux-driven, electrostatic, global, two-fluid turbulence
simulation for a five-field period stellarator with an island divertor are presented. The …

The stepped-pressure equilibrium code (SPEC)(Hudson et al 2012 Phys. Plasmas 19, 112
502) is extended to enable free-boundary multi-region relaxed magnetohydrodynamic …
