Quantify Plasma Response to Non-Axisymmetric (3D) Magnetic Fields in Tokamaks, Final Report for FES (Fusion Energy Sciences) FY2014 Joint Research Target

Technical Report Strait, E. J. ; Park, J. -K. ; Marmar, E. S. ; ...

The goal of the 2014 Joint Research Target (JRT) has been to conduct experiments and analysis to investigate and quantify the response of tokamak plasmas to non-axisymmetric (3D) magnetic fields. Although tokamaks are conceptually axisymmetric devices, small asymmetries often result from inaccuracies in the manufacture and assembly of the magnet coils, or from nearby magnetized objects. In addition, non-axisymmetric fields may be deliberately applied for various purposes. Even at small amplitudes of order 10^-4 of the main axisymmetric field, such “3D” fields can have profound impacts on the plasma performance. The effects are often detrimental (reduction of stabilizing plasma rotation,more »« less

Shattered pellet penetration in low and high energy plasmas on DIII-D

Journal Article Raman, R. ; Sweeney, Ryan ; Moyer, Richard A. ; ... - Nuclear Fusion

Shattered pellet injection (SPI) has been adopted as the baseline disruption mitigation system for ITER, as the radiative payload penetration into DIII-D plasmas from SPI is superior to those using the massive gas injection (MGI) method. Because of the substantial differences in the energy content of ITER plasma and those in present experiments, reliable 3D MHD modeling, benchmarked against present experiments is needed to project to ITER plasmas. In support of these needs, the depth of SPI fragment penetration in DIII-D plasmas was investigated by injecting SPI into two discharges with vastly different energy content and pedestal height. 400 Torr-Lmore »« less

Interpretive MHD modeling of dispersive shell pellet injection for rapid shutdown in tokamaks

Journal Article Izzo, Valerie A. - Nuclear Fusion

Dispersive shell pellet (DSP) injection is modeled with the extended-MHD code NIMROD for interpretive insight into the results of recent DIII-D DSP experiments and to explore the dynamics of an inside-out thermal quench for disruption mitigation in tokamaks. Simulations of the pre-thermal quench (TQ) phase indicate that the upper bound for the quantity of ablated carbon shell material that will not perturb the flux surfaces is in the ballpark of, but somewhat below the experimental quantity. Even below this quantity, sufficient electrons are added to the plasma by the shell material to produce significant dilution cooling before the TQ ismore »« less

Shattered pellet injection simulations with NIMROD

Journal Article Kim, Charlson C. ; Liu, Yueqiang ; Parks, Paul B. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Optimal strategies for disruption mitigation benefit from the understanding of details both spatially and temporally. Beyond the assessment of the efficacy of a particular proposed Disruption Mitigation System (DMS), ITER's longevity will require accounting of both mitigated and unmitigated disruptions. Accurate models and validated simulations that detail multiple ITER scenarios with mitigated and unmitigated disruptions are essential for accurate estimates of load damage. The primary candidate for ITER's DMS is Shattered Pellet Injection (SPI); its efficacy must be evaluated within the next several years. To perform critical time dependent 3-D nonlinear simulations, we have developed a particle based SPI modelmore »« less
