Update on equilibrium and TSC simulation. C. Kessel Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory ARIES Project meeting, Gaithersburg, MD, July 27-28, 2011. Generated a new equilibrium to remove “wave” on inboard side of plasma. Solenoid is now composed of 2 coils rather than 5 coils . ✕.

Update on equilibrium and TSC simulation C. Kessel Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory ARIES Project meeting, Gaithersburg, MD, July 27-28, 2011
Generated a new equilibrium to remove “wave” on inboard side of plasma Solenoid is now composed of 2 coils rather than 5 coils ✕ Will send out new eqdsk
TSC simulation is progressing, not there yet Plasma lays on inner wall
Work to do • Started using new equilibria in time-dependent scenario, keep plasma diverted • Raise parameters to power plant levels….obtain high fusion power • Raise density • Increase impurity/radiated power • Establish 100% non-inductive current • Establish L-H transition and ITB transition • PTRANSP for more source modeling consistency • Begin disruption sequence based on ITER disruption prescriptions • Start to examine structure configurations for disruption analysis • FW conductors, toroidally continuous vs non-continuous • Other structures/configurations that could pose conducting paths (manifolds, shield, strong-back…)
