Book Description
We report the observation of the first H-mode transitions in the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX). Energy confinement time transiently increased by more than a factor of 2, to order 100 ms. The heating power requirement for accessing the H-mode regime (power threshold) was significantly higher than predicted by a multi-machine database compiled from conventional aspect ratio tokamaks. Our power threshold results are similar to other STs, such as the START and MAST machines. These H-mode observations in STs challenge and extend the existing international power threshold and energy confinement time scalings based on conventional aspect ratio tokamaks. The remainder of this paper discusses characteristics of the H-modes in NSTX.

Semiempirical Models of H-mode Discharges
Author: Active Control of Magneto-hydrodynamic Instabilities in Hot Plasmas
Author: Valentin IgochinePublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3662442221
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
During the past century, world-wide energy consumption has risen dramatically, which leads to a quest for new energy sources. Fusion of hydrogen atoms in hot plasmas is an attractive approach to solve the energy problem, with abundant fuel, inherent safety and no long-lived radioactivity. However, one of the limits on plasma performance is due to the various classes of magneto-hydrodynamic instabilities that may occur. The physics and control of these instabilities in modern magnetic confinement fusion devices is the subject of this book. Written by foremost experts, the contributions will provide valuable reference and up-to-date research reviews for "old hands" and newcomers alike.

Book Description
This book contains the papers presented at the Course on "Tokamak Startup - Problems and Scenarios Related to the Transient Phases of a Thermonuclear Fusion Reactor" which was held in Erice, July 14-20, 1985. The fact that the critical startup and transient phases of a tokamak reactor are now the specific subject of a comprehensive international gathering of fusion specialists seems indicative of the substantial pro gress made in recent years towards attaining controlled ignition of a nuclear fusion fuel, i.e. towards demonstrating the scientific feasibili ty of controlled thermonuclear fusion. In fact, the steady-state burning phase has attracted so far most of the attention of fusion physicists and engineers, as it is conceptually more rewarding, and theoretically easier to handle. However, as for many large engineering systems, - nuclear fis- ... ':1' " . 10 ' ...
