Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced confinement and stability in DIII-D discharges with reversed magnetic shear.
E. J. Strait,L. L. Lao,Michael E. Mauel,B. W. Rice,T. S. Taylor,Keith H. Burrell,Ming-Sheng Chu,E. A. Lazarus,T.H. Osborne,S. J. Thompson,A. D. Turnbull +10 more
TL;DR: Values of normalized beta, up to 4 ({percent}-{ital m}-T/MA), energy confinement are a factor of 3 better than {ital L} mode, and at least 50% of the noninductive plasma current in this regime demonstrates compatibility with requirements for a steady-state high-beta tokamak power plant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear magnetohydrodynamics simulation using high-order finite elements
Carl Sovinec,Alan H. Glasser,T. A. Gianakon,Daniel C. Barnes,R. A. Nebel,Scott Kruger,Dalton Schnack,Steven J. Plimpton,A. Tarditi,Ming-Sheng Chu +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, a semi-implicit time-advance approach was used to simulate the growth rate of resistive tearing modes in 3D nonlinear non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Noncircular, finite aspect ratio, local equilibrium model
TL;DR: In this paper, a tokamak equilibrium model, local to a flux surface, is introduced which is completely described in terms of nine parameters including aspect ratio, elongation, triangularity and safety factor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beta limits in long-pulse tokamak discharges
Olivier Sauter,R. J. LaHaye,Z. Chang,D.A. Gates,Y. Kamada,H. Zohm,Anders Bondeson,D. Boucher,James D. Callen,Ming-Sheng Chu,T. A. Gianakon,O. Gruber,R. W. Harvey,Chris Hegna,L. L. Lao,D. A.

TL;DR: In this paper, a quantitative comparison between both the conventional resistive and neoclassical theories, and the experimental results of several machines, which have all observed these low-min nonideal modes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stability and dynamics of the edge pedestal in the low collisionality regime: physics mechanisms for steady-state ELM-free operation
P. B. Snyder,Keith H. Burrell,H. R. Wilson,Ming-Sheng Chu,M.E. Fenstermacher,Anthony Leonard,R.A. Moyer,T.H. Osborne,Maxim Umansky,W.P. West,Xueqiao Xu +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, a peeling-ballooning model has been proposed to explain the physics of the edge pedestal and edge localized modes (ELMs) in the standard H-mode regime.
