- Chair: Michele Romanelli
Turbulent transport has long been understood to be the dominant transport mechanism in tokamaks. Stellarators, such as W7X, that have been optimised to reduce collisional (neoclassical) transport are also expected to be limited by turbulent transport [1]. Combined theoretical, computational, and experimental progress has advanced our understanding of turbulence properties and the resultant...
JOREK [1] is one the most advanced non-linear simulation codes for studying MHD instabilities that can occur in magnetically confined fusion plasmas as well as their control. It leverages extensive parallel programming to obtain accurate results regarding the dynamics of the high-energy magnetically confined plasma inside the vacuum vessel of a tokamak or stellarator. In addition, a...
