Electricity access and rural development: Review of complex socio-economic dynamics and casual diagrams for more appropriate energy modelling

TL;DR: A comprehensive review and extensive analysis of the peer-reviewed literature on electricity access and its impact on rural socio- economic development, and vice versa, confirms that electricity use is interconnected through complex casual relations with multiple dimensions of socio-economic development.
Journal ArticleDOI

The GBS code for tokamak scrape-off layer simulations

TL;DR: A new version of GBS, a 3D global, flux-driven plasma turbulence code to simulate the turbulent dynamics in the tokamak scrape-off layer (SOL), superseding the code presented by Ricci et al. (2012) is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blob dynamics in the TORPEX experiment: a multi-code validation

TL;DR: In this article, three-dimensional and two-dimensional seeded blob simulations are performed with five different fluid models, all based on the drift-reduced Braginskii equations, and the numerical results are compared among themselves and validated against experimental measurements provided by the TORPEX device.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overview of the TCV tokamak program: scientific progress and facility upgrades

Stefano Coda, +199 more
- 23 Jun 2017 - 
TL;DR: The TCV tokamak has been extensively upgraded with ion heating, additional electron heating compatible with high densities, and variable divertor geometry, in a multifaceted upgrade program designed to broaden its operational range without sacrificing its fundamental flexibility.
Journal ArticleDOI

Simulation of plasma turbulence in the periphery of diverted tokamak by using the GBS code

TL;DR: In this paper, the drift-reduced Braginskii's equations are used to evolve plasma turbulence in the tokamak periphery by solving the driftreduced reduced Bragsinskii equations.
