In order to simulate a full tokamak discharge, a fast integrated tokamak modelling tool for scenario design, METIS, is coupled with a quasi-static free-boundary magnetic equilibrium code, FEEQS. The first code is able to compute at each time the plasma equilibrium, the current density and plasma pressure profiles. The generated outputs are...

The stability with respect to a peeling–ballooning mode (PBM) was investigated numerically with extended MHD simulation codes in JET, JT-60U and future JT-60SA plasmas. The MINERVA-DI code was used to analyze the linear stability, including the effects of rotation and ion diamagnetic drift ( *w i), in JET-ILW and JT-60SA plasmas, and the JOREK...

The International Tokamak Physics Activity topical group on integrated operational scenarios has compiled a database of stationary H-mode discharges at q95 ~ 3 from AUG, C-Mod, DIII-D, JET and JT-60U, for both carbon wall and high-Z metal wall experiments with ~3300 entries. The analyses focus on discharges that are stationary for ⩾5...

Most of the present and future magnetic fusion devices rely on high power mm-waves injection for a variety of applications like plasma breakdown, heating and control. Since under specific operating conditions the mm-waves might not be fully absorbed, potentially damaging in-vessel components, the detection of the non-absorbed radiation is...
