Structural Design of High Field Tokamaks
نویسنده
چکیده
Interest in high field non-superconducting tokamaks was strong after the US left the ITER project at the end of 1999. This class of tokamaks, including Alcator C-Mod, IGNITOR, and FIRE, has many challenging and interesting structural characteristics. Structural behavior of these tokamaks is discussed along with the special structural features employed to sustain the huge loads resulting from their high fields. This paper was originally intended to be a part of a special journal on high field tokamaks that was canceled with the renewed interest in ITER.

Numerical Studies and Simulation of the Lower Hybrid Waves Current Drive by using Fokker – Planck Equation in NSST and HT-7 Tokamaks
Recent experiments on the spherical tokamak have discovered the conditions to create a powerful plasma and ensure easy shaping and amplification of stability, high bootstrap current and confinement energy. The spherical tours (ST) fusion energy development path is complementary to the tokamak burning plasma experiment such as NSTX and higher toroidal beta regimes and improves the design of a po...

متن کاملZonal flow and zonal magnetic field generation by finite beta drift waves: a theory for low to high transitions in tokamaks.
The understanding of low to high (L-H) transition in tokamaks has been an important area of investigation for more than a decade. Recent 3D finite beta simulations of drift-resistive ballooning modes in a flux tube geometry by Rogers et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 4396 (1998)] have provided a unique parametrization of the transition in a two-dimensional phase space. Comparison of the threshold cu...

متن کاملBreakdown of adiabatic invariance in spherical tokamaks
Thermal ions in spherical tokamaks have two adiabatic invariants: the magnetic moment and the longitudinal invariant. For hot ions, variations in magnetic-field strength over a gyro period can become sufficiently large to cause breakdown of the adiabatic invariance. The magnetic moment is more sensitive to perturbations than the longitudinal invariant and there exists an intermediate regime, su...
