Abstract

Significant progress has been made on ASDEX Upgrade during the last two years in the basic understanding of transport, in the extension of the improved H-mode in parameter space and towards an integrated operating scenario and in the development of control methods for major performance limiting instabilities. The important features were the understanding of particle transport and the control of impurity accumulation based on it, the satisfactory operation with predominantly tungsten-clad walls, the improved H-mode operation over density ranges and for temperature ratios covering (non-simultaneously) the ITER requirements on ν*, n/nGW and Te/Ti, the ELM frequency control by pellet injection and the optimization of NTM suppression by DC-ECCD through variation of the launching angle. From these experiments an integrated scenario has emerged which extrapolates to a 50% improvement in n T τ or a 30% reduction of the required current when compared with the ITER base-line assumptions, with moderately peaked electron and controllable high-Z density profiles.

Abstract

A new high speed gas valve was developed for disruption mitigation studies in the tokamak ASDEX Upgrade. The valve was designed to operate inside the vacuum vessel to reduce the time of flight of the injected gas and to prevent dispersion of the gas cloud before the gas reaches the plasma. A spring-driven mechanism was chosen for the valve as it is robust against the high magnetic fields and electromagnetic disturbances inside the vessel. The internal gas reservoir (128 cm3) of the valve, which holds the mitigation gas, is opened within 1.5 ms, and the maximal stroke between the valve plate and nozzle (diameter 13 mm) is 4.5 mm. This allows a peak flow rate of 72 kPam3/s after 1 ms which was determined both analytically and numerically. The highest gas velocity (approximately 560 m/s) is reached 0.6 ms after the valve is opened. The gas cloud expands in a pear shape with an opening angle of 49°.

Abstract

The ASDEX Upgrade programme is directed towards physics input to critical elements of the ITER design and the preparation of ITER operation, as well as addressing physics issues for a future DEMO design. After the finalization of the tungsten coating of the plasma facing components, the re-availability of all flywheel-generators allowed high-power operation with up to 20 MW heating power at I p up to 1.2 MA. Implementation of alternative ECRH schemes (140 GHz O2- and X3-mode) facilitated central heating above n e = 1.2 × 1020 m−3 and low q 95 operation at B t = 1.8 T. Central O2-mode heating was successfully used in high P/R discharges with 20 MW total heating power and divertor load control with nitrogen seeding. Improved energy confinement is obtained with nitrogen seeding both for type-I and type-III ELMy conditions. The main contributor is increased plasma temperature, no significant changes in the density profile have been observed. This behaviour may be explained by higher pedestal temperatures caused by ion dilution in combination with a pressure limited pedestal and hollow nitrogen profiles. Core particle transport simulations with gyrokinetic calculations have been benchmarked by dedicated discharges using variations of the ECRH deposition location. The reaction of normalized electron density gradients to variations of temperature gradients and the T e/T i ratio could be well reproduced. Doppler reflectometry studies at the L–H transition allowed the disentanglement of the interplay between the oscillatory geodesic acoustic modes, turbulent fluctuations and the mean equilibrium E × B flow in the edge negative E r well region just inside the separatrix. Improved pedestal diagnostics revealed also a refined picture of the pedestal transport in the fully developed H-mode type-I ELM cycle. Impurity ion transport turned out to be neoclassical in between ELMs. Electron and energy transport remain anomalous, but exhibit different recovery time scales after an ELM. After recovery of the pre-ELM profiles, strong fluctuations develop in the gradients of n e and T e. The occurrence of the next ELM cannot be explained by the local current diffusion time scale, since this turns out to be too short. Fast ion losses induced by shear Alfvén eigenmodes have been investigated by time-resolved energy and pitch angle measurements. This allowed the separation of the convective and diffusive loss mechanisms.

Abstract

Experiments of disruption mitigation with massive gas injection are conducted in ASDEX Upgrade with fast valves located close to the plasma. The valves and the dedicated experiment are described in this paper. The dependence of the fuelling efficiency on plasma and gas parameters is documented and discussed. Several sources of uncertainties affecting its evaluation and physical interpretation have been addressed. An actual fuelling efficiency of 40% has been reached for neon injection with valves close to the plasma and for gas quantities relevant for the thermal and current quench mitigation of ITER. Refuelling the plasma after thermal quench is shown to be feasible; this result opens the possibility of raising the density in a runaway beam and therefore of increasing the collisional drag on and the radiative energy losses of the fast electrons.
