Bootstrap current and parallel ion velocity in imperfectly optimized stellarators

Dataset Catto, Peter J. ; Helander, Per

A novel derivation of the parallel ion velocity, and the bootstrap and Pfirsch-Schlüter currents in an imperfectly optimized (that is, almost omnigenous) stellarator magnetic field, \vec B, is presented. It is shown that, when the conventional radially local form of the drift kinetic equation is employed, the flow velocity and the bootstrap current acquire a spurious contribution proportional to ω /ν , where ω denotes the \vec E × \vec B rotation frequency (due to the radial electric field E ) and ν the collision frequency. This contribution is particularly large in the squareroot ν regime and at smaller collisionalities,more »« less

Anomalous transport in the H-mode pedestal of Alcator C-Mod discharges

Dataset Pankin, A. Y. ; Hughes, J. W. ; Greenwald, M. J. ; ...

Anomalous transport in the H-mode pedestal region of five Alcator C-Mod discharges, representing a collisionality scan is analyzed. The understanding of anomalous transport in the pedestal region is important for the development of a comprehensive model for the H-mode pedestal slope. In this research, a possible role of the drift resistive inertial ballooning modes (Rafiq et al 2010 Phys. Plasmas 17 082511) in the edge of Alcator C-Mod discharges is analyzed. The stability analysis, carried out using the TRANSP code, indicates that the DRIBM modes are strongly unstable in Alcator C-Mod discharges with large electron collisionality.

Geothermal Case Studies

Dataset Young, Katherine

The US Geological Survey (USGS) resource assessment (Williams et al., 2009) outlined a mean 30GWe of undiscovered hydrothermal resource in the western US. One goal of the Geothermal Technologies Office (GTO) is to accelerate the development of this undiscovered resource. The Geothermal Technologies Program (GTP) Blue Ribbon Panel (GTO, 2011) recommended that DOE focus efforts on helping industry identify hidden geothermal resources to increase geothermal capacity in the near term. Increased exploration activity will produce more prospects, more discoveries, and more readily developable resources. Detailed exploration case studies akin to those found in oil and gas (e.g. Beaumont, et al,more »« less
Multi-device Studies of Pedestal Physics and Confinement in the I-mode Regime

Dataset Hubbard, A. E. ; Osborne, T. ; Ryter, F. ; ...

This paper describes joint ITPA studies of the I-mode regime, which features an edge thermal barrier but with L-mode-like particle and impurity transport, and without ELMs. The regime has been demonstrated on Alcator C-Mod, ASDEX Upgrade and DIII-D tokamaks, over a wide range of device parameters and pedestal conditions, including low collisionality. Access to I-mode is independent of heating method (neutral beam injection, ICRH and/or ECRH). Normalized energy confinement H98y,2 ≥ 1 has been achieved for a range of 3≤q95≤4.9 and scales favourably with power. Changes in turbulence in the pedestal region accompany the transition from L-mode to I-mode. Themore »« less
