Accurate predictions of fusion performance requires including the strong interplay that exists between core transport, pedestal structure, current profile and plasma equilibrium. An integrated modeling workflow capable of finding the steady-state self-consistent solution to this strongly coupled problem has been developed. The workflow, leverages first principles calculations and does not...

Experiments in DIII-D have validated advanced models of main-ion intrinsic rotation and used dimensionless parameter scans to predict a significant amount of intrinsic torque in ITER. Recent measurements of deuterium toroidal rotation using main ion spectroscopy in DIII-D have validated predictions of Reynolds stress induced toroidal flow in the plasma core and rotation induced by ion orbit...

A. The JT-60SA (JT-60 Super Advanced) project is a combined project of Japan’s program for national use and the Japan-EU Satellite Tokamak Program collaboration between Japan and the EU fusion community. The main objectives are to demonstrate steady-state high-beta plasma and to support ITER through the optimization of ITER operation scenario. The JT-60SA tokamak device is designed as a...

ELM suppression with 3D magnetic perturbations (MPs) is obtained for the first time in low
collisionality ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) plasmas following shape-matching experiments on DIII-D.
These experiments demonstrate the importance of low pedestal collisionality and strong shaping to
access ELM suppression, and reveal a remarkable similarity in the alignment of the ExB rotation profiles...

The main objective of the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) stellarator is to demonstrate the integrated reactor potential of the optimized stellarator line. An important element of this mission is the achievement of high heating-power, high confinement in fully controlled steady-state operation. In March 2014, after the installation of the last current lead in the outer vessel, the cryostat was...
