2. 11. Modeling RF waves in hot plasmas using the finite element method and wavelet decomposition : Theory and applications for ion cyclotron resonance heating in toroidal plasmas

   Author : Pablo Vallejos; Thomas Jonsson; Torbjörn Hellsten; Philippe Lamalle; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : Fusion energy has the potential to provide a sustainable solution for generating large quantities of clean energy for human societies. The tokamak fusion reactor is a toroidal device where the hot ionized fuel (plasma) is confined by magnetic fields. Several heating systems are used in order to reach fusion relevant temperatures.

4. 12. Nonlinear dynamics of frequency sweeping energetic particle modes in tokamaks

   Author : Frida Eriksson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; wave-particle interaction; Fusion plasma physics; bump-on-tail; toroidal Alfvén eigenmode; holes and clumps;

   Abstract : In a burning plasma, such as the next generation tokamak experiment ITER, significant numbers of highly energetic particles will be produced via nuclear reactions. The presence of energetic particles, be it fusion born alpha particles or ions accelerated by auxiliary heating schemes, may excite kinetic instabilities and thereby affect the heating and transport of all particles in the plasma.

5. 13. The dynamics of Alfvén eigenmodes excited by energetic ions in toroidal plasmas

   Author : Emmi Tholerus; Thomas Johnson; Torbjörn Hellsten; Duarte Borba; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fusion plasma physics; Tokamak; Wave–particle interactions; Toroidal Alfvén eigenmodes; Bump-on-tail instabilities; Magnetohydrodynamics; Nonlinear dynamics; Quasilinear dynamics; Hamiltonian mechanics; Monte Carlo method; ICRH; FWCD; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : The future fusion power plants that are based on magnetic confinement will deal with plasmas that inevitably contain energetic (non-thermal) particles. These particles come, for instance, from fusion reactions or from external heating of the plasma. READ MORE

   Abstract : This thesis addresses solitary waves and their significance for auroral particle acceleration, coronal heating and incoherent scatter radar spectra. Solitary waves are formed due to a balance of nonlinear and dispersive effects. READ MORE

7. 15. Flame Dynamics and Deflagration-to-Detonation Transition

   Author : Damir Valiev; Börje Johansson; R. J. M. (Rob) Bastiaans; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; flame; premixed; instability; fractal; deflagration; detonation; DDT; simulation; Physics; Fysik;

   Abstract : Various premixed flame phenomena are studied by means of direct numerical simulations of the complete system of hydrodynamic equations. Rigorous study of flame dynamics is essential for all premixed combustion problems where multidimensional effects cannot be disregarded.The present thesis consists of six parts. READ MORE
