JOREK is a massively parallel fully implicit non-linear extended magneto-hydrodynamic
(MHD) code for realistic tokamak X-point plasmas. It has become a widely used versatile …

In this paper, we revisit the physics of mitigated and unmitigated Vertical Displacement
Events (VDEs) and present a summary of present modelling efforts and code capabilities …

Non-axisymmetric simulations of the current quench phase of ITER disruptions are key to
predict asymmetric forces acting into the ITER wall. We present for the first time such …

An analysis workflow has been developed to assess energy deposition and material
damage for ITER vertical displacement events (VDEs) and major disruptions (MD). This …

Hot vertical displacement events (VDEs) are one of the worst case scenarios for high-current
tokamaks as they are associated with large heat loads and electro-magnetic forces. Non …

COMPASS addressed several physical processes that may explain the behaviour of
important phenomena. This paper presents results related to the main fields of COMPASS …

Disruptions lead to a rapid loss of thermal and magnetic energy and can cause large heat
loads, mechanical forces, and the excitation of a beam of relativistic runaway electrons. The …

In recent years, the nonlinear 3D magnetohydrodynamic codes JOREK, M3D-C 1, and
NIMROD developed the capability of modeling realistic 3D vertical displacement events …

First, it is shown that during electromagnetic transients in COMPASS-U the poloidal field
coils must drain sizeably the current from the vessel and, therefore, reduce disruption forces …

The presented experimental study realized in the COMPASS tokamak demonstrates, for the
first time, that the current density that flows from the plasma into the vacuum vessel during …
