Meta-analysis of Tokamak reactor designs
The long-term interest in nuclear fusion using tokamaks has yielded many published reactor designs. This study performs the first meta-analysis of tokamak reactor designs in an attempt to unveil new understanding not available in the traditional bottom-up method of looking at each design …

Radial Electric Fields for Improved Tokamak Performance
… ash build-up in a TFTR-sized, fusing tokamak plasma is explored. In an idealized tokamak plasma, an externally-imposed radial electric field leads to plasma rotation, but no charge current flows across the magnetic fields. However, a realistically-low neutral density profile generates …

Rotation generation and transport in tokamak plasmas
… of bi-directional rotation on a single tokamak. These observations help to explain differences in rotation seen among the various devices running lower hybrid. The LHCD rotation reverses direction as a function of plasma current, and this occurs in a similar parameter space as the Ohmic …

Multi-Tokamak Assessment of Modeled Temperature Profiles
… experimental data from three well-documented tokamak discharges: Holland (2011) [1], White (2014) [2], and Zagorski (2015) [3]. The validation study uses the iterative TRANSP and PORTALS transport solvers to achieve flux-matching and self-consistency between heat sources and transport. The …

Characterisation of Detached Plasmas on the MAST Tokamak
… conventional and tight aspect-ratio Tokamaks. Currently, the most attractive means of reducing this heat loading is the so-called “detached” regime, which is the primary focus of this study. This thesis describes work that was carried out on the MAST tokamak to accurately characterise …

Effects of suprathermal fusion particles in tokamak plasmas
… is derived for a low-B, symmetric (non-ripple) tokamak. Velocity-space scattering is ignored. Among the important implications of this theory are: (1) the net inward drift of fusion particles during their slow-down phase, and (2) the importance of the plasma density and temperature in …

Particle transport on the Alcator C-Mod tokamak
… to perform experiments on the Alcator C-Mod tokamak. It views plasma Bremsstrahlung in a narrow spectral region free from atomic lines. Signals from thirty chordal views on the midplane are digitized and then Abel inverted to obtain emissivity as a function of minor radius. A procedure based …

Experimental Inference of Particle Transport in Tokamak Plasmas
The achievement of sustainable operation in tokamaks depends crucially on accurate understanding of fuel, impurity, and neutral particle dynamics. In this work, radial profiles of experimental particle transport coefficients have been inferred following laser blow-off (LBO) impurity injections into …

Finite drift orbit effects in a tokamak pedestal
This thesis aims at better understanding of the tokamak pedestal, which is a defining feature of the so-called "High Confinement Mode" or "H Mode" of tokamak operation. This region is characterized by a drastic plasma density drop over a relatively short radial distance, typically of order of the …

Vertical compact torus injection into the STOR-M Tokamak
… is a fundamental issue in the neat generation tokamak – ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor). It is essential for optimization of the bootstrap current which is proportional to the pressure gradient of trapped particles. The conventional tokamak fuelling techniques, such as …

Thermal helium buildup and control in a fusing tokamak
… ash accumulation potentially stops ignition of tokamaks, such as TIBER II/ETR-type, if ash concentration exceeds $\sim$10%. It is also shown that ash buildup is sensitive to the ratio of helium to fuel ion transport coefficient, and to the magnitude of the helium inward pinch velocity. Sawteeth …
