The Effect of Inclined U-Notch Geometry on Mode Ratio (KII/KI) under Mixed Mode (I + II) Loading
In inclined U-notches, the mixed mode (I + II) loading occurs and the mode ratio can be increased by varying the notch angle. In this paper, the effect of the inclined U-notch geometry, i.e. the notch depth, the notch angle, the notch root radius, and the position of the notch with respect to supports, on the mode ratio (KII/KI) have been studied. Three-point bending and plane strain condition ...
متن کاملDissipative Divertor Operation in the Alcator C-mod Tokamak Dissipative Divertor Operation in the Alcator C-mod Tokamak
The achievement of large volumetric power losses (dissipation) in the Alcator C-Mod divertor region is demonstrated in two operational modes: radiative divertor and detached divertor. During radiative divertor operation, the fraction of SOL power lost by radiation is P R/PSOL0.8 with single null plasmas, n e < 2x10 20 m-3 and I < 1 MA. These plasmas sometimes have very high recycling, with nedi...
متن کاملHeat-flux footprints for I-mode and EDA H-mode plasmas on Alcator C-Mod
IR thermography is used to measure the heat flux footprints on C-Mod’s outer target in Imode and EDA H-mode plasmas. The footprint profiles are fit to a function with a simple physical interpretation. The fit parameter that is sensitive to the power decay length into the SOL, λSOL, is ~1-3x larger in I-modes than in H-modes at similar plasma current, which is the dominant dependence for the H-m...
متن کاملInduced tungsten melting events in the divertor of ASDEX Upgrade and their influence on plasma performance
Tungsten rods of 1×1×3mm were exposed at the outer divertor plate of ASDEX Upgrade using a manipulator system. Controlled melting of the W rod in H-mode discharges was induced by moving the outer strike point towards the W-rod position. Visible light emission of ejected W droplets was recorded by fast camera systems. The resulting increase of tungsten concentration in the confined plasma was co...
متن کاملGlobal electromagnetic simulations of the outer core of an ASDEX Upgrade L-mode plasma
The outer core of a low confinement discharge performed at the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak is investigated using both global and local nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations. Previous work [D. Told et al., Phys. Plasmas 20, 122312 (2013)] had shown that local gyrokinetic simulations agree reasonably well with experimental results in terms of transport levels, with minor discrepancies that can be resolved ...
