JT-60SA, the largest tokamak that will operate before ITER, has been designed and built jointly by Japan and Europe, and is due to start operation in 2020. Its main missions are to support ITER exploitation and to contribute ...

In this work, we analyze a recently proposed stabilized finite element formulation for the approximation of the resistive magnetohydrodynamics equations. The novelty of this formulation with respect to existing ones is the ...

In this work, a stabilized formulation to solve the inductionless magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) problem using the finite element method is presented. The important feature of this formulation resides in the design of the ...

The thermally coupled incompressible inductionless magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) problem models the ow of an electrically charged fuid under the in uence of an external electromagnetic eld with thermal coupling. This system ...

Electron cyclotron waves are widely used in magnetic confinement devices, specially in those involved in nuclear fusion research, to heat the electrons and achieve the ignition temperature. A still unsolved issue is ...

The European Community is committed to the development of a DEMOnstration fusion power plant whose operation could start as soon as 2050. The blanket is one of the most critical components in a fusion reactor; three of the ...

In this work, we propose a new stabilized finite element formulation for the approximation of the resistive magnetohydrodynamics equations. The novelty of this formulation is the fact that it always converges to the physical ...

The radial structure of the continuum spectrum of shear Alfvén and Alfvén-acoustic waves in the beta-induced Alfvén eigenmode (BAE) frequency range is modeled for tokamak plasmas in the presence of 3D effects obtained from ...
