This book offers a thorough coverage of the magnetic control of a plasma in a tokamak. A
plasma is a gas in which an important fraction of the particles is ionized, so that the electrons …

With reference to toroidal fusion devices, we solve axisymmetric nonlinear evolutionary
equilibrium equations, describing the plasma behaviour, self-consistently coupled to eddy …

In several cases, substations have become incapable of supporting faults due to increase in
short-circuit levels. Fault current limiters (FCLs) are a potential solution for this problem …

We develop an adaptive finite element method for solving the eddy current model with
voltage excitations for complicated three-dimensional structures. The mathematical model is …

In this paper, a coupling strategy based on the control surface concept is used to self-
consistently couple linear MHD solvers to 3D codes for the eddy current computation of eddy …

We present a systematic study of how to take into account external excitation in the eddy
current model. Emphasis is put on mathematically sound variational formulations and on …

In this paper we analyse the effects of three-dimensional ITER conducting structures on
resistive wall modes (RWMs) growth rates. In particular, a highly detailed description of the …

This paper illustrates the development of a recursive QR technique for the analysis of
transient events, such as disruptions or scenario evolution, in fusion devices with three …

This paper focuses on the coupling procedure between a 3-D integral formulation of the
eddy currents problem and a linearized MHD model solved with a differential approach. The …

A new integrated simulator for experiments of resistive wall mode (RWM) closed-loop control
and its benchmark against experimental data are presented. The numerical tool couples in a …
