CRONOS is a suite of numerical codes for the predictive/interpretative simulation of a full
tokamak discharge. It integrates, in a modular structure, a 1D transport solver with general …

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 …

Experiments on the TCV tokamak have shown that rapid vertical movement of diverted ELMy
H-mode plasmas can affect the time sequence of edge localized modes. The effect is …

The present work demonstrates the capabilities of the transport code RAPTOR as a fast and
reliable simulator of plasma profiles for the entire plasma discharge, ie from ramp-up to ramp …

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 this paper we show that the effect of the saddle currents in the rigid sectors slows down
the vertical instability of JET elongated plasmas with respect to estimates based on pure …

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

Many challenging plasma control problems still need to be addressed in order for the ITER
plasma control system (PCS) to be able to maintain the plasma within a predefined …

To improve the efficiency of operation of the tokamak reactor (International Thermonuclear
Experi-mental Reactor, ITER) in future, it is highly desirable to perform a comprehensive …

Heating loads on the divertor has been the major issue for the tokamak operation. The
innovative negative triangularity plasmas are considered to be of the favorable property for …
