Self-consistent modeling of electron runaway in tokamak disruptions

O Linder - 2022 - mediatum.ub.tum.de
In this dissertation we investigate plasma terminating disruptions, which threaten the
integrity of reactor-relevant tokamaks. With a coupled 1.5 D transport framework, I model the …

WJ Roog - 2023 - research.tue.nl
One of the main issues facing future tokamaks is a rapid loss of thermal and magnetic
energy: a disruption. To protect the machine the thermal and magnetic energy are dissipated …

F Wouters - 2024 - pure.tue.nl
The collisional drag experienced by electrons in a plasma decreases with increasing
electron speed. When the electric field is large enough, there are electron speeds for which …
