In this paper an extensive database of SPARC H-modes confinement predictions has been provided, to assess its variability with respect few input assumptions. The simulations have performed within the ASTRA framework, using quasi-linear model TGLF SAT2, including electromagnetic effects, for core transport, and a neural network trained on EPED predict pedestal height width self-consistently. developed starting from two H-mode discharges (12.2 T, i.e. Primary Reference Discharge or PRD, 8...

Abstract A newly developed tool to simulate a tokamak full--discharge is presented. The "flight--simulator" Fenix couples the control system with fast and reduced plasma model, yet realistic enough take into account several of non--linearities. Distinguishing feature this modeling that it only requires Pulse Schedule (PS) as input simulator. output virtual realization full discharge, which time traces can then be used judge if PS satisfies control/physics goals or needs revised. This thought...

Abstract Partially detached H‐modes are the baseline regime for future ITER operation. The ASDEX Upgrade partially H‐mode is modeled using SOLPS‐ITER code with drifts enabled and compared experimental data. For first time, boron (B) impurity simulated in Scrape‐off layer (SOL) divertor. A comparison between divertor diagnostics discrepancies Langmuir probe Divertor Thomson scattering/Stark broadening diagnostic discussed. In modeling, target profiles reproduced if level of radiation SOL...

Abstract In this work, a very fast integrated transport model involving every region that interacts directly with the plasma of tokamak, has been developed. The confined is modeled in 1.5D, while scrape-off layer 0D structure. For core region, physics-based analytical regression based on set simulations TGLF [Staebler 2005 Phys. Plasmas 12 102508] produced. H-mode regime, an average edge-localized-modes applied pedestal region. two-point for electron temperature (exhaust) and particle...
