Jerry Hughes,P. B. Snyder,Matthew Reinke,B. LaBombard,Saskia Mordijck,S. D. Scott,E.A. Tolman,Seung Gyou Baek,Theodore Golfinopoulos,Robert Granetz,Martin Greenwald,Amanda Hubbard,Earl Marmar,J. E. Rice,Anne White,D.G. Whyte,Theresa Wilks,S.M. Wolfe +17 more
Journal ArticleDOI
The Future of Low-Carbon Electricity
Jeffery B. Greenblatt,Nicholas R. Brown,Rachel N. Slaybaugh,Theresa Wilks,Emma Stewart,Sean T. McCoy +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review future global demand for electricity and major technologies positioned to supply it with minimal greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions: renewables (wind, solar, water, geothermal, and biomass), nuclear fission, and fossil power with CO2 capture and sequestration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scaling trends of the critical E × B shear for edge harmonic oscillation onset in DIII-D quiescent H-mode plasmas
TL;DR: In this paper, a nonlinear phase-dynamics model relating the pressure and velocity perturbations in the edge pedestal region was proposed to predict the critical E × B shear and EHO frequency.
Journal ArticleDOI
A dispersion and pulse width correction algorithm for the pulsed wire method
Diego Arbelaez,Theresa Wilks,Theresa Wilks,A. Madur,Soren Prestemon,Steve Marks,Ross Schlueter +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a general solution for dispersive wave motion in pulsed wire measurements is presented and demonstrated through experimental examples, and the results are compared with Hall probe measurements on a short undulator.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dependence of the impurity transport on the dominant turbulent regime in ELM-y H-mode discharges on the DIII-D tokamak
Tomas Odstrcil,Nathan Howard,F. Sciortino,Colin Chrystal,Christopher Holland,Eric Hollmann,George McKee,Kathreen Thome,Theresa Wilks +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a set of laser blow-off injections of aluminum and tungsten have been performed on the DIII-D tokamak to investigate the variation of impurity transport.
