Journal ArticleDOI
The tokamak Monte Carlo fast ion module NUBEAM in the National Transport Code Collaboration library
TL;DR: The NUBEAM module as mentioned in this paper is a comprehensive computational model for Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) in tokamaks, which is used to compute power deposition, driven current, momentum transfer, fueling, and other profiles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pedestal stability comparison and ITER pedestal prediction

TL;DR: In this paper, a new predictive model for the pedestal height and width (EPED1) was developed by self-consistently combining a simple width model with peeling-ballooning stability calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of pedestal plasma transport
James D. Callen,R. J. Groebner,T.H. Osborne,John Canik,Larry W Owen,Alexei Pankin,Tariq Rafiq,T.D. Rognlien,Weston M. Stacey +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, an H-mode edge pedestal plasma transport benchmarking exercise was undertaken for a single DIII-D pedestal, where profiles for the edge plasma were obtained from Thomson and charge exchange recombination data averaged over the last 20% of the average 33.53 ms repetition time between type I edge localized modes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Burning plasma projections using drift wave transport models and scalings for the h-mode pedestal
J. E. Kinsey,Glenn Bateman,Thawatchai Onjun,Arnold H. Kritz,Alexei Pankin,G. M. Staebler,R. E. Waltz +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the GLF23 and multi-mode core transport models are used along with models for the H-mode pedestal to predict the fusion performance for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, Fusion Ignition Research Experiment, and IGNITOR tokamak designs.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, a model for pedestal pressure height has been proposed for a range in pressure of a factor of 20, which is found to be an extrapolation of 3 beyond the existing data set, with some areas needing further work also being identified.
