The European Integrated Tokamak Modelling (ITM) effort: achievements and first physics results
A selection of achievements and first physics results are presented of the European Integrated Tokamak Modelling Task Force (EFDA ITM-TF) simulation framework, which aims to provide a standardized platform and an integrated modelling suite of validated numerical codes for the simulation and prediction of a complete plasma discharge of an arbitrary tokamak. The framework developed by the ITM-TF,...
متن کاملTwo-Fluid and Resistive Nonlinear Simulations of Tokamak Equilibrium, Stability, and Reconnection
The NIMROD and M3D / M3D-C codes now each have both a resistive MHD and a two-fluid (2F) capability including gyroviscosity and Hall terms. We describe: (1) a nonlinear 3D verification test in the resistive MHD regime in which the two codes are in detailed agreement , (2) new studies that illuminate the effect of two-fluid physics on spontaneous rotation in tokamaks, (3) studies of nonlinear re...
متن کاملTokamak Plasma Equilibria and Axisymmetric Stability with a Zero Total Toroidal Current
Several tokamak experiments have reported the existence of plasma equilibria with a zero total toroidal current in their AC operations. By taking a plasma profile model based on linear functions of the poloidal flux function ψ , a variety of equilibrium configurations with a zero total toroidal current have been found. The MHD_N0 stability code [1] is able to compute axisymmetric mode stability...
متن کاملEquilibrium Spline Interface ( ESI) for magnetic confinement codes
A compact and comprehensive interface, called ESI, between magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) equilibrium codes and gyro-kinetic, particle orbit, MHD stability, and transport codes is presented. Its irreducible set of equilibrium data consists of four 2or 3-D functions of coordinates and four 1-D radial profiles together with their first derivatives. The C reconstruction routines (accessible also from ...
متن کاملIntegrated tokamak modelling taskforce: Validation of the equilibrium reconstruction from experimental data
The Integrated tokamak modelling taskforce was set up to provide the European scientific community with simulation tools for preparing and analysing discharges of fusion experiments. We will report on recent progress made on the taskforce project on equilibrium and linear stability. A generic data structure has been devised to describe the geometry of a machine and physical processes in the dis...
