For more than a decade, an unprecedented predict-first activity has been carried in order to
predict the fusion power and provide guidance to the second Deuterium–Tritium (D–T) …

Abstract The International Tokamak Physics Activity topical group on integrated operational
scenarios has compiled a database of stationary H-mode discharges at q 95~ 3 from AUG, C …

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 …

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 …

Stable, high-performance operation of a tokamak requires several plasma control problems
to be handled simultaneously. Moreover, the complex physics which governs the tokamak …

The tokamak is a device that utilizes magnetic fields to confine a reactant gas to generate
energy from nuclear fusion reactions. The next step towards the realization of a tokamak …

The high-performance operational goals of NSTX-U will require development of advanced
feedback control algorithms, including control of β N and the safety factor profile. In this work …

We have simulated tokamak breakdown phase driven by pure Ohmic heating with implicit
particle in cell/Monte Carlo collision (PIC/MCC) method. We have found two modes can be …

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