Download or read book Active Control of Magneto hydrodynamic Instabilities in Hot Plasmas written by Valentin Igochine and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-09-15 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past century, world-wide energy consumption has risen dramatically, which leads to a quest for new energy sources. Fusion of hydrogen atoms in hot plasmas is an attractive approach to solve the energy problem, with abundant fuel, inherent safety and no long-lived radioactivity. However, one of the limits on plasma performance is due to the various classes of magneto-hydrodynamic instabilities that may occur. The physics and control of these instabilities in modern magnetic confinement fusion devices is the subject of this book. Written by foremost experts, the contributions will provide valuable reference and up-to-date research reviews for "old hands" and newcomers alike.
Download or read book Fusion Technology 1990 written by B.E. Keen and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 1039 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the biennial series of symposia on Fusion Technology, organized by the European Fusion Laboratories, is the exchange of information on the design, construction and operation of fusion experiments. The coverage of the volume includes the technology aspects of fusion reactors to provide a link to the technology of new developments and form a guideline for the definition of future work. These proceedings comprise two volumes and contain both the invited lectures and contributed papers presented at the Symposium, which was attended by 556 participants from around the globe. The 312 papers in this volume, including 17 invited papers, give a broad and current overview of the progress and trends fusion technology is experiencing now, and the future for fusion devices.
Download or read book The Effect of Current Profile Changes on Confinement in the DIII D Tokamak written by and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiments in the DIII-D tokamak have demonstrated that the effect of changes in the current profile on plasma confinement varies with the discharge shape. The results are similar in many respects to those from other tokamaks. In all cases, a rapid change in the plasma current in an L-mode, circular or moderately elongated, discharge has been used to produce a transient change in the current density profile. Although the detailed results vary among tokamaks, it is generally observed that during and immediately following a negative plasma current ramp, the stored energy does not follow the L-mode scaling that predicts that confinement should be proportional to the total plasma current. The stored energy changes on the time scale of the relaxation of the current density profile rather than the shorter time scales of the energy confinement time or the change in the total current. Because of the discharge having capability of the DIII-K tokamak it has been possible to extend these current ramp experiments beyond the L-mode, moderate elongation case to highly elongated double-null divertor discharges in H-mode. In separate experiments, a rapid change in the discharge elongation has also been used to vary the current density profile. This paper shows that the dependence of the plasma confinement on the current profile changes when the discharge shape is changed. This variation with discharge shape provides evidence for a model that predicts that changes in the local magnetic shear resulting from the changes in the current profile can result in decreased local transport.

Download or read book Systems Approaches to Nuclear Fusion Reactors written by Frederick B. Marcus and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-01 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an overall review, applying systems engineering and architecture approaches, of the design, optimization, operation and results of leading fusion experiments. These approaches provide a unified means of evaluating reactor design. Methodologies are developed for more coherent construction or evaluation of fusion devices, associated experiments and operating procedures. The main focus is on tokamaks, with almost all machines and their important results being integrated into a systems design space. Case studies focus on DIII-D, TCV, JET, WEST, the fusion reactor prototype ITER and the EU DEMO concept. Stellarator, Mirror and Laser inertial confinement experiments are similarly analysed, including reactor implications of breakeven at NIF. The book examines the engineering and physics design and optimization process for each machine, analysing their performance and major results achieved, thus establishing a basis for the improvement of future machines. The reader will gain a broad historical and up-to-date perspective of the status of nuclear fusion research from both an engineering and physics point of view. Explanations are given of the computational tools needed to design and operate successful experiments and reactor-relevant machines. This book is aimed at both graduate students and practitioners of nuclear fusion science and engineering, as well as those specializing in other fields demanding large and integrated experimental equipment. Systems engineers will obtain valuable insights into fusion applications. References are given to associated complex mathematical derivations, which are beyond the scope of this book. The general reader interested in nuclear fusion will find here an accessible summary of the current state of nuclear fusion.
