In the context of the investigations on JET of the effects of an ITER-like wall on the plasma performance, this contribution presents a comprehensive picture of the W transport in the core of JET H-mode plasmas with up to 2.5 MA of plasma current, based on a successful agreement between experiment, interpretative simulations and theoretical predictions. The main outcome is that W is...

Temporal and spatial responses of the electron and ion temperatures (Te and Ti), the electron density (ne), and the toroidal rotation velocity (Vφ) with electron cyclotron heating (ECH) have been clarified for the first time with fast measurements in positive shear (PS) H-mode plasmas, weak shear (WS) plasmas with internal transport barriers (ITBs) and reversed shear (RS) plasmas with ITBs on...

We report the results of L- and H-mode toroidal rotation experiments in KSTAR. Both NBI and ECH with varying resonance conditions were used for the heating mix and turbulence population control. The experimental results show that ECH causes a counter-current rotation increment both in L- and H-mode plasmas. In the H-mode case, the rotation profiles are flattened by on-axis ECH with a clear...

The integrated framework for toroidal momentum transport is developed, which self-consistently calculates the neoclassical toroidal viscosity (NTV), the radial electric field Er and the resultant toroidal rotation together with the scrape-off-layer (SOL) physics-based boundary model. The coupling of TOPICS, VMEC and FORTEC-3D makes it possible to calculate the NTV due to the non-axisymmetric...

Scaling laws for the prediction of neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs) onset in next generation fusion devices such as ITER have been carried out. However, it is difficult to extrapolate current island width thresholds for the NTM onset to ITER due to the uncertainty physics behind the threshold mechanisms. And some events can also influence the mode onset, such as the large sawtooth period and...

Extensive linear and non-linear gyrokinetic simulations, including kinetic electrons, collisions, flow shear, realistic geometry, electromagnetic effects, impurities as well as perpendicular and parallel magnetic fluctuations, and linear MHD analyses performed respectively with the GENE and MISHKA codes, have shown for the first time that the large population of fast ions found in the plasma...
