  2. 1. Collisional transport in edge transport barriers and stellarators

    Author : Stefan Buller; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fusion; tokamak; plasma physics; stellarator; impurity transport; collisional transport; transport; pedestal;

    Abstract : Nuclear fusion has the potential to generate abundant and clean energy. In magnetic confinement fusion, the temperatures needed to achieve fusion are obtained by confining a hot plasma with magnetic fields. READ MORE

  4. 2. Turbulent and neoclassical transport in tokamak plasmas

    Author : Istvan Pusztai; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; thermonuclear fusion; tokamaks; microinstabilities; transport analysis; isotope effect; impurity transport; neoclassical transport; transport barriers; turbulent transport;

    Abstract : One of the greatest challenges of thermonuclear fusion is to understand, predict and to some extent control particle and energy transport in fusion plasmas. In the present thesis we consider theoretical and experimental aspects of collisional and turbulent transport in tokamak plasmas. READ MORE

  5. 3. Radially global neoclassical transport in tokamak pedestals

    Author : Stefan Buller; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; tokamak; transport; global effects; collisional transport; fusion; drift-kinetics; plasma physics;

    Abstract : Nuclear fusion has the potential to become a sustainable energy sourcein the foreseeable future. The most developed system for fusion powerproduction is the tokamak, which magnetically confines a plasma at highenough temperature for fusion reactions to take place. READ MORE

  6. 4. Impurity transport in magnetically confined fusion plasmas

    Author : Albert Mollén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fusion plasma physics; transport; turbulence; tokamak; gyrokinetic; impurity; stellarator; drift-kinetic; poloidal asymmetry;

    Abstract : Nuclear fusion is foreseen as one of the options for future energy production. In establishing the physics basis of future magnetic fusion reactors it is necessary to find scenarios where the impurity content in the core can be kept low. READ MORE

  7. 5. Modelling and measuring transport in fusion plasmas

    Author : Istvan Pusztai; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fusion plasmas; ITG stability; microinstabilities; de-convolution; Lorentz operator; gyrokinetic equation; transport; quasilinear flux; beam emission spectroscopy; ion temperature gradient mode; electron density measurement; trapped electron response;

    Abstract : In the present thesis we consider theoretical and experimental aspects of the turbulent transport which is a crucial issue in fusion plasma physics.Experimental observations and gyrokinetic simulations show that collisions strongly influence the turbulent flux of particles. READ MORE
