Transport analysis and modelling of high radiation and high density plasmas at ASDEX Upgrade
Future fusion reactors will require high divertor and core radiation by impurity seeding to limit divertor heat loads. In addition, high core densities are required to maximize the fusion power. A well established technique to reduce heat loads on divertor target plates is to insert low and medium Z impurities in the plasma to convert the heat flux into radiation [1]. Radiative cooling by nitro...
متن کاملBenefits and Challenges of the Use of High-Z Plasma Facing Materials in Fusion Devices
The use of high-Z plasma facing components requires intensive research in all areas, i.e. in plasma wall-interaction, in the physics of the confined plasma, diagnostic, and in material development. Only a few present day divertor tokamaks mainly Alcator C-Mod and ASDEX Upgrade gained experience with the refractory metals molybdenum and tungsten, respectively. ASDEX Upgrade was stepwise converte...
متن کاملConfinement enhancement in ASDEX Upgrade improved H-mode discharges with nitrogen seeding
1 Introduction Tungsten has been studied for 10 years on ASDEX Upgrade as a possible first wall material for fusion reactors [1]. The feasibility and the performance of the advanced scenarios are assessed, in order to deal with the technological challenges of a burning plasma. In particular hybrid scenarios, such as ASDEX Upgrade's improved H-mode discharges, require high heating power, a chall...
متن کاملDynamic and static deuterium inventory in ASDEX Upgrade with tungsten first wall
Deuterium retention in the divertor tokamak ASDEX Upgrade is studied by surface analysis and gas balances. Comparing C and W plasma facing components, the deuterium content of deposits at the divertor plates is dropped by a factor of 13. At the outer divertor significant implantation into the W coating is found. Deposition at remote areas is reduced by a factor of 14. Gas balances for ITER rele...
متن کاملOngoing work towards real-time reflectometry density profile measurements on ASDEX Upgrade
Previous studies performed in ASDEX Upgrade ELMy H-mode regimes (Santos et al. [2003]), ITER reference scenario, have shown that O-mode FM-CW reflectometry should meet the accuracy required on ITER for using reflectometry for position control purposes. This application, however, requires the development of robust unsupervised methods to evaluate the density profiles in real time. To allow a sta...
