International Stellarator/Heliotron Database Activities on High-Beta Confinement and Operational Boundaries
The ISS04 scaling of the energy confinement in stellarators/helical systems has been derived from selected data of the International Stellarator/Heliotron Confinement Database (ISHCDB), taking only few high-β data into account. Therefore, the basis for extrapolations to the reactor regime is insufficient. In the last years, regimes with reactor relevant beta became accessible in the Large Helic...
متن کاملPhysical model assessment of the energy confinement time scaling in stellarators
The International Stellarator Confinement Database (ISCDB) is a joint effort of the helical device community. It is publicly available at http://www.ipp.mpg.de/ISS and http://iscdb.nifs.ac.jp. The validity of physics models is investigated employing ISCDB data. Bayesian model comparison shows differences in the confinement scaling of data subgroups. Theory-based assessment of pure neoclassical ...
متن کاملOn Impurity Handling in High Performance Stellarator/Heliotron Plasmas
The Large Helical Device (LHD) and Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X, under construction) are experiments specially designed to demonstrate long pulse (quasi steady-state) operation, which is an intrinsic property of Stellarators and Heliotrons. Significant progress was made in establishment of high performance plasmas. A crucial point is the increasing impurity confinement towards high density as observed...
متن کاملEnergy confinement scaling for W7-AS high-β plasmas
High-β energy confinement data are subjected to comparisons of scaling invariant, first-principle physical models. The models differ in the inclusion of basic equations indicating the nature of transport. The result for high-β data of the W7-AS stellarator is that global transport is described best with a collisional high-β model, which is different from previous outcomes for low-β data. Model ...
متن کاملComparative Divertor-Transport Study for Helical Devices
Using the island divertors (ID) of W7-AS and W7-X and the helical divertor (HD) of LHD as examples, the paper presents a comparative divertor transport study for three typical helical devices of different machine-size following two distinct divertor concepts, aiming at identifying common physics issues/effects for mutual validation and combined studies. Based on EMC3/EIRENE simulations supporte...
