The ITER plasma control system has the same functional scope as the control systems in
present tokamaks. These are plasma operation scenario sequencing, plasma basic control …

Self-consistent transport simulation of ITER scenarios is a very important tool for the
exploration of the operational space and for scenario optimization. It also provides an …

This paper describes the progress in analysis of the ITER plasma vertical stabilisation (VS)
system since its design review in 2007–2008. Two indices characterising plasma VS were …

The poloidal field (PF) coil system on ITER, which provides both feedforward and feedback
control of plasma position, shape, and current, is a critical element for achieving mission …

ITER will demonstrate the feasibility of burning plasma operation by operating DT plasmas
in the ELMy H-mode regime with a high ratio of fusion power gain Q~ 10. 15 MA ITER …

In the present work we investigate for the first time the 2D fluid transport of the plasma in
WEST during an entire discharge from the start-up to the ramp-down (shot# 54487). The …

The hybrid operating mode observed in several tokamaks is characterized by further
enhancement over the high plasma confinement (H-mode) associated with reduced …

Understanding the dynamics of plasma startup and termination is important for present
tokamaks and for predictive modeling of future burning plasma devices such as ITER. We …

The forces arising during an early stage of disruption in tokamaks are studied here. The
analysis is based on DINA calculations and comparison with recent analytical predictions …

A full tokamak discharge simulator has been developed by combining a free-boundary
equilibrium evolution code, DINA-CH, and an advanced transport modelling code …
