Modern tokamaks have achieved significant fusion production, but further progress towards steady-state operation has been stymied by a host of kinetic and MHD instabilities. Control …
Alfvén eigenmodes (AEs) are an important and complex class of plasma dynamics commonly observed in tokamaks and other plasma devices. In this work, we manually …
We have developed a new global eigenvalue code, multiscale analysis for plasma stabilities (MAS), for studying plasma problems with wave toroidal mode number (n) and frequency (ω) …
Although the stability of ellipticity, toroidal and reversed-shear Alfvén eigenmodes (EAE, TAE, RSAE) are relatively well understood, less is known about the stability of lower …
Shear Alfvén wave (SAW)/drift Alfvén wave (DAW) fluctuations can be destabilized by energetic particles (EPs) as well as thermal plasma components, which play a key role in the …
Beam modulation effects on Alfvén eigenmode stability have been investigated in a recent DIII-D experiment and show that variations in neutral beam modulation period can have an …
Global gyrokinetic simulations find that a beta-induced Alfvén eigenmode (BAE) and a low- frequency mode (LFM) co-exist in the DIII-D tokamak experiments. The simulated LFM mode …
Abstract A Machine-Learning (ML) based detection scheme that automatically detects Alfvén Eigenmodes (AE) in a labelled DIII-D database is presented here. Controlling AEs is …
