The Effect of Controlled Mixing on ROY Polymorphism Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Overview of the TCV tokamak experimental programme KU Leuven
The tokamak à configuration variable (TCV) continues to leverage its unique shaping capabilities, flexible heating systems and modern control system to address critical issues in preparation for ITER and a fusion power plant. For the 2019–20 campaign its configurational flexibility has been enhanced with the installation of removable divertor gas baffles, its diagnostic capabilities with an extensive set of upgrades and its heating systems with ...
Effects of Mesh Topology on MHD Solution Features in Coronal Simulations KU Leuven
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the solar corona have become more popularwith the increased availability of computational power. Modern computational plasmacodes, relying upon computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods, allow the coronalfeatures to be resolved using solar surface magnetograms as inputs. These computationsare carried out in a full three-dimensional domain and, thus, selection of the correctmesh configuration is essential ...
Identification of high order closure terms from fully kinetic simulations using machine learning KU Leuven
Simulations of large-scale plasma systems are typically based on a fluid approximation approach. These models construct a moment-based system of equations that approximate the particle-based physics as a fluid, but as a result lack the small-scale physical processes available to fully kinetic models. Traditionally, empirical closure relations are used to close the moment-based system of equations, which typically approximate the pressure tensor ...
