Edge-localized-modes in tokamaks
AW Leonard - Physics of Plasmas, 2014 - pubs.aip.org
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 …

A first-principles predictive model of the pedestal height and width: development, testing and ITER optimization with the EPED model
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 …
