  • Novel Concept for Disruption Mitigation in the ADITYA
    28th IAEA Fusion Energy Conference (FEC 2020) Contribution ID: 1290 Type: Regular Poster Novel Concept for Disruption Mitigation in the ADITYA - U tokamak by Fast Time Response Electromagnetic Driven Pellet Impurity Injector Wednesday, 12 May 2021 17:00 (20 minutes) Implementation of suitable disruption mitigation technique remains the topmost priority for larger tokamaks including the ITER. The spontaneous disruption in ITER may probably be an unavoidable part, while operated with high performance D-T fuel [1]. Disruptions in ITER could produce very large heat loads on divertor tar- gets and other Plasma Facing Components (PFC), and large electromagnetic forces on the Vacuum Vessel (VV) can lead to structural damages [2]. In order to avoid these detrimental consequences, disruption mitigation is an essential part of tokamak research. The disruption mitigation system (DMS) in ITER is based on massive gas injection (MGI) of impurities, in order to radiate the plasma stored energy and mitigate the potentially damaging effects of disruptions [3]. Although, MGI based technique is suitable for most disruption mitiga- tion, there will be issues in case of having warning time less than 10 ms as may be the case for the onset of some disruptions in ITER [4]. This is due to the slow thermal velocity of the heavier impurity gas molecules, which limits the time needed to travel the distances before it reaches the plasma edge. At present, none of the currently planned disruption mitigations systems for ITER can respond on this time scale. The radiative dissipation of the plasma stored energy during major disruption in ITER by fast injection of massive pellets of low Z impurities, such as Li and Be pellet injection has been numerically modelled by Lukash et al.

The Monte Carlo neutral particle transport code DEGAS2 is used to model the experimental Hα spectral emissions. Through the modeling of the spectral line profile of Hα, it is found that the neutral hydrogen, which is produced from molecular hydrogen and molecular hydrogen ion dissociation processes contributes 56% to the total Hα emission, and the atoms which are produced from charge-exchange process have 30% contribution. Furthermore, the experimentally measured spatial profile of chord integrated brightness was modeled for the two plasma discharges having relatively high and low density to understand the neutral particle penetration.

  • An Application of Survival Analysis to Disruption Prediction Via Random Forests
    An application of survival analysis to disruption prediction via Random Forests R.A. Tinguelyy, K.J. Montes, C. Rea, R. Sweeney, and R.S. Granetz Plasma Science and Fusion Center, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA 02139 Abstract. One of the most pressing challenges facing the fusion community is adequately mitigating or, even better, avoiding disruptions of tokamak plasmas. However, before this can be done, disruptions must first be predicted with sufficient warning time to actuate a response. The established field of survival analysis provides a convenient statistical framework for time-to-event (i.e. time-to-disruption) studies. This paper demonstrates the integration of an existing disruption prediction machine learning algorithm with the Kaplan-Meier estimator of survival probability. Specifically discussed are the implied warning times from binary classification of disruption databases and the interpretation of output signals from Random Forest algorithms trained and tested on these databases. This survival analysis approach is applied to both smooth and noisy test data to highlight important features of the survival and hazard functions. In addition, this method is applied to three Alcator C-Mod plasma discharges and compared to a threshold-based scheme for triggering alarms. In one case, both techniques successfully predict the disruption; although, in another, neither warns of the impending disruption with enough time to mitigate. For the final discharge, the survival analysis approach could avoid the false alarm triggered by the threshold method. Limitations of this analysis and opportunities for future work are also presented. Keywords: tokamak plasma, disruption prediction, survival analysis, machine learning, Random Forest, binary classification 1.

  • Evaluation of an Oxygen Transport Coefficient in the Aditya Tokamak

This O4+ spectral line was recorded using a 1.0 m multi-track spectrometer capable of simultaneous measurements from eight lines of sight passing through the plasma. The oxygen transport coefficients were determined by reproducing the experimentally measured emissivity profiles of O4+, using a one-dimensional impurity transport code, STRAHL, and photon emissivity coefficient (PEC) belonging to that transition. The PEC values were obtained from both ADAS and NIFS atomic databases. Using both the databases, much higher values of diffusion coefficients compared to the neo-classical values were observed in both high and low magnetic field edge regions of typical Aditya tokamak Ohmic plasma.

    +44 20 8123 2220 [email protected] Analyzing Fusion Energy 2017 https://marketpublishers.com/r/AAF7C2E2BB4EN.html Date: March 2017 Pages: 185 Price: US$ 850.00 (Single User License) ID: AAF7C2E2BB4EN Abstracts Fusion power is the power generated by nuclear fusion reactions. In this kind of reaction, two light atomic nuclei fuse together to form a heavier nucleus and in doing so, release a large amount of energy. In a more general sense, the term can also refer to the production of net usable power from a fusion source, similar to the usage of the term "steam power." Most design studies for fusion power plants involve using the fusion reactions to create heat, which is then used to operate a steam turbine, which drives generators to produce electricity. Except for the use of a thermonuclear heat source, this is similar to most coal, oil, and gas-fired power stations as well as fission-driven nuclear power stations. Aruvian Research brings a research report on the lucrative field of fusion energy – Analyzing Fusion Energy 2017. The research report takes a look at the importance of fusion power in an era where the usage of renewable energy has become a norm. The report begins with an analysis of the basics of fusion energy, the various stages of development in fusion power, the magnetic concept, the Z-pinch concept, inertial confinement concept and many others. The role of tokamaks are analyzed in the report, along with the physics of fusion reactors. The concept of plasma heating is analyzed so as to provide a better understanding of fusion power.

The short gas puffs, injecting approximately ~1017 – 1018 molecules of fuel gas (hydrogen) at one toroidal location, are found to concomitantly decrease the drift-tearing mode rotation frequency and the mode amplitude during the period of injection and then recover back to its initial values when the gas pulse is over. This leads to a periodic modulation of the rotation frequency and amplitude of the drift-tearing modes that is correlated with the periodicity of the gas pulse injection. The underlying mechanism for this change in the mode characteristic appears to be related to gas puff induced change in the radial profile of the plasma pressure in the edge region that brings about a reduction in the diamagnetic drift frequency. Detailed experimental measurements and BOUT++ code simulations support such a reduction in diamagnetic drift frequency. Our results reveal a close interaction between the edge dynamics and core MHD phenomena in a tokamak that could help us better understand the rotation dynamics and amplitude pulsations of magnetic islands.
