This paper reviews current understanding of key physics elements that control the H-mode
pedestal structure, which exists at the boundary of magnetically confined plasmas. The …

Tokamak operation with W PFCs is associated with specific challenges for impurity control,
which may be particularly demanding in the transition from stationary H-mode to L-mode. To …

A geometric approach is used to find the threshold energies for ion orbit loss in experimental
tokamak geometry, like that of ASDEX Upgrade. The effects of any pre-existing radial electric …

The ion orbit loss (IOL) can drive the bulk ions co-current rotation at the edge of the tokamak
plasmas. The effect of triangularity on the IOL is investigated by using an analytical tokamak …

Fluid theory expressions for the radial particle and energy fluxes and the radial distributions
of pressure and temperature in the edge plasma are derived from fundamental conservation …

A modified Ohm's Law, derived from the conservation of deuterium and carbon ions and
electron momentum and the requirement for charge neutrality, yields an expression for the …

The dynamics of burning plasmas in tokamaks are crucial for advancing controlled
thermonuclear fusion. This study introduces the NeuralPlasmaODE, a multi-region multi …

By scanning toroidal rotation with a combination of co-and counter-current direction neutral
beam injection (NBI) on the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak, it is found …

The SOL width is a parameter of paramount importance in modern tokamaks as it controls
the power density deposited at the divertor plates, critical for plasma-facing material …

Fusion alpha heating introduces new phenomena into plasma dynamics and control. On the
worrisome side is the well-known fact that the σ υ fus≃ T ion 2 dependence of the …
