Massively-parallel Lagrangian particle code and applications

Massively-parallel, distributed-memory algorithms for the Lagrangian particle hydrodynamic method (Samulyak et al., 2018) have been developed, verified, and implemented. The key component of parallel algorithms is a particle management module that includes a parallel construction of octree databases, dynamic adaptation and refinement of octrees, and particle migration between parallel subdomains. The particle management module is based on the p4est (parallel forest of k-trees) library. The massively-parallel Lagrangian particle code has been applied to a variety of fundamental science and applied problems. A summary of Lagrangian particle code applications to the injection of impurities into thermonuclear fusion devices and to the simulation of supersonic hydrogen jets in support of laser-plasma wakefield acceleration research has also been presented.

Integrated modelling: Coupling of surface evolution and plasma-impurity transport

During the interaction of the scrape off layer (SOL) plasma with the first wall the evolution of both wall and plasma are tightly coupled: The erosion of the first wall leads to an impurity concentration in the plasma which affects the particle and power balance in the plasma. In turn the impurities, when leaving the plasma via transport, can form deposits and mixed materials, far away from their initial source location. These deposits can be eroded, allowing the impurities to stepwise migrate through the fusion device until they end up at a location where the plasma at the wall is cold enough and no further erosion occurs. To describe these processes an integrated model of surface evolution and plasma transport of impurities is needed. The WallDYN code achieves this required coupling of processes by parameterising the output of surface evolution- and plasma impurity-migration-codes by analytical models. For a given fixed background plasma it evolves the surface composition, derives impurity flux into and from the plasma and can from this derive the impurity densities in the plasma. This paper will show the importance of including this recycling of impurities at the wall in impurity migration modelling: The 13 CH 4 seeding experiment performed in the Wendelstein 7-X Stellerator is modelled using the recent extension of the WallDYN code to 3D plasma and wall geometries. A comparison with post mortem analysis of the 13 C deposition shows both qualitative and quantitative agreement with the WallDYN calculations.

Corrosion of 304 stainless steel in static liquid lithium under high vacuum

To study the compatibility especially the corrosion characteristic of structural material stainless steel (SS) with liquid lithium (Li) is an important factor for the simultaneous application of liquid Li and SS as a blanket material or potential plasma facing material (PFM) in future fusion devices. Here, the corrosion behaviors of 304SS exposed to liquid Li at 700 K for 1320 hr under high vacuum were investigated. After exposure to liquid Li, 304SS produces non-uniform corrosion which includes corrosion products and grain boundary corrosion. Compared with the corrosion behaviors at 600 K and 640 K, temperature plays an important role in the corrosion behaviors of 304SS in static liquid Li. The weight loss, corrosion depth and corrosion products of 304SS specimens increase with the corrosion temperature. In general, the compatibility between 304SS and static liquid Li is relatively good under the experimental conditions. And besides, it is unexpectedly found that the compatibility of copper with Li is not good.

Exploration of Sn 70 Li 30 alloy as possible material for flowing liquid metal plasma facing components

As an advanced alternative to solid materials, Liquid Metals (LM) may offer more resilient and feasible Plasma Facing Components (PFCs). Particularly, regarding the unavoidable material erosion/degradation produced by particle/heat fluxes in future fusion devices where much longer duty cycles are expected. Furthermore, configurations that propose a flowing LM surface can add the advantage of a continuously fresh and clean layer facing the plasma. Although lithium is the most widely tested option, tin-lithium (SnLi) alloys have been proposed to attempt to combine the positive characteristics of both pure elements and ameliorate the specific issues of lithium. In this work, the potential use of Sn70Li30 alloy in such flowing concepts has been explored by addressing several preliminary and mandatory aspects for its utilization. Key issues such as wettability and compatibility of the alloy with relevant substrates have been studied in a multidisciplinary approach. The data obtained from deposited liquid tin-lithium droplets indicates approximate wetting temperatures of 360 °C, 390 °C and 405 °C for the fresh alloy on 316 stainless steel, molybdenum, and tungsten, respectively. However, the alloy contamination appeared to strongly affect the wetting characteristics of materials, increasing their wetting temperature by ~130 °C in the worst observed cases. Interestingly, in some instances, the instability of the liquid alloy surface was observed in the form of sudden gaseous ejection. The deposited droplets were posteriorly characterized in terms of absolute composition and depth profile by Inductively Coupled PlasmaOptical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS-ToF). Additionally, the nature and composition of the boundaries between the substrates and alloy microparticles was investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS), and 3D Laser microscopy. The overall results of this post-mortem characterization revealed that first signs of corrosion induced by both alloy elements (lithium-chromium association and iron-tin intermetallic mixing) were present on 316 stainless steel after short exposures (≤3 h) at temperatures lower than 550 °C. Conversely, molybdenum and tungsten showed good compatibility with the alloy in equivalent conditions. The global implications of these results are finally addressed, focusing on the future perspectives and the more viable scenarios for the eventual utilization of these alloys in flowing liquid metal configurations.

Modeling and experimental validation of a W f /W-fabrication by chemical vapor deposition and infiltration

Tungsten (W) has a unique combination of excellent thermal properties, low sputter yield, low hydrogen retention, and acceptable activation. Therefore, W is presently the main candidate for the first wall material in future fusion devices. However, its intrinsic brittleness and its further embrittlement during operation bears the risk of a sudden and catastrophic component failure. As a countermeasure, tungsten fiber-reinforced tungsten (W f /W) with extrinsic toughening is being developed. A possible synthesis route is chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using heated W fabrics as substrate. The challenge is that the growing CVD-W can isolate domains from precursor access leading to strength-reducing pores. To deepen the process understanding and to optimize the CVD parameters, models were developed with COMSOL Multiphysics and validated experimentally. W deposition rate equations as function of the temperature and the partial pressures of the precursors H 2 and WF 6 were experimentally validated in previous work. In the present article, these equations are applied to obtain partial pressures within the CVD reactor. The results are taken as input for transient simulations in the microscale, in which W coatings, growing onto multiple adjacent W fibers, were simulated via mesh deformation and remeshing. The surface-to-surface contact of the W coatings and the corresponding potential pore formation were simulated by implementing sophisticated deposition rate stop conditions. Within the measuring uncertainties of ≃ ±1%, the models are validated successfully by experimental comparison regarding the deposition rate, pore structure, and relative densities ranging from 0.6 to 0.9.

Impurity temperature screening in stellarators close to quasisymmetry

Impurity temperature screening is a favourable neoclassical phenomenon involving an outward radial flux of impurity ions from the core of fusion devices. Quasisymmetric magnetic fields lead to intrinsically ambipolar neoclassical fluxes that give rise to temperature screening for low enough $\unicode[STIX]{x1D702}^{-1}\equiv d\ln n/d\ln T$ . In contrast, neoclassical fluxes in generic stellarators will depend on the radial electric field, which is predicted to be inward for ion-root plasmas, potentially leading to impurity accumulation. Here, we examine the impurity particle flux in a number of approximately quasisymmetric stellarator configurations and parameter regimes while varying the amount of symmetry breaking in the magnetic field. For the majority of this work, neoclassical fluxes have been obtained using the SFINCS drift-kinetic equation solver with electrostatic potential $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}=\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}(r)$ , where $r$ is a flux-surface label. Results indicate that achieving temperature screening is possible, but unlikely, at low-collisionality reactor-relevant conditions in the core. Thus, the small departures from symmetry in nominally quasisymmetric stellarators are large enough to significantly alter the neoclassical impurity transport. A further look at the magnitude of these fluxes when compared to a gyro-Bohm turbulence estimate suggests that neoclassical fluxes are small in configurations optimized for quasisymmetry when compared to turbulent fluxes.

Comprehensive analysis of disruption mitigation methods using gas and pellet-like injections in ITER-like Tokamaks

Abstract Inert-gas shielding could be an effective mechanism for protection of plasma facing surfaces (PFS) against plasma particles impact and photon radiation heat loads during transient events in fusion devices. Neutral gas injection is one promising way to mitigate erosion of tokamak components and contamination. The objective of this work is to study and optimize mitigation methods using neutral gas and pellet-like injections to decrease the heat load to the divertor surfaces and to prevent vaporization of the various internal surfaces due to transient events in ITER-like devices. The integrated self-consistent models implemented in the HEIGHTS package was used for detailed analysis of the potential secondary plasma generation from the injected inert gas, its radiative characteristics, and shielding effectiveness. We varied the density, size, and location of an argon gas cloud to minimize the disruption energy deposited into the divertor components. We also investigated innovative ways for minor changes in ITER-like internal design to mitigate disruptions. We found the optimum parameters to fully protect ITER tokamak surfaces from erosion and vaporization during plasma instabilities. This preliminary analysis showed that using Ar gas injection methods could lead to enhancement in components lifetime in ITER-like and future DEMO devices with minor design changes.

Wisconsin In Situ Penning (WISP) gauge: A versatile neutral pressure gauge to measure partial pressures in strong magnetic fields

A new type of in-vessel Penning gauge, the Wisconsin In Situ Penning (WISP) gauge, has been developed and successfully operated in the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) island divertor baffle and vacuum vessel. The capacity of the quantitative measurements of the neutral reservoir for light impurities, in particular, helium, is important for tokamaks as well as stellarator divertors in order to avoid fuel dilution and radiative energy loss. Penning gauges assisted by spectroscopy are a powerful tool to obtain the total neutral pressure as well as fractional neutral pressures of specific impurities. The WISP gauge is a miniaturized Penning gauge arrangement, which exploits the ambient magnetic field of magnetic confinement fusion experiments to establish the Penning discharge. Then, in situ spectroscopy is conducted to separate the fractional neutral pressures of hydrogen, helium, and possibly also other impurities. The WISP probe head was qualified using the magnetic field of the Magnetized Dusty Plasma Experiment at Auburn University between 0.25 T and 3.5 T [E. Thomas et al ., J. Plasma Phys. 81, 345810206 (2015)]. The in-depth quantitative evaluation for hydrogen and helium will be shown as well as an exploration of nitrogen, argon, and neon. A power law scaling between current I and pressure p, I = f (Gas,V) p n⁽Gas, B⁾ , was shown. The factor f is gas and anode potential dependent, while n is gas and magnetic field strength dependent. Pressure measurements from 0.1 mbar and down to 1 × 10 -5 mbar were achieved, demonstrating a reliable operating range for relevant pressure levels in the divertor and main vessel regions in current and future fusion devices, with a time resolution of up to 1 kHz. The lowest achievable pressure measurement increases with an increase in B and can be shifted with the anode potential V . At W7-X, the WISP probe head was mounted on an immersion tube setup that passes through the cryostat and places the probe head close to the plasma. Two probe heads were positioned in different divertor pump gaps, top and bottom, and one close to the plasma on the midplane in one module. The gauges were in situ calibrated together with the ASDEX pressure gauges [G. Haas and H.-S. Bosch, Vacuum 51, 39 (1998)]. Data were taken during the entire operation phase 1.2b, and measurements were coherent with other neutral gas pressure gauges. For the spectroscopic partial pressure measurements, channels of a spectroscopic detection system based on photo-multipliers, a so-called filterscope [R. J. Colchin et al ., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 74, 2068 (2003)], provided by the Oak Ridge National Lab were used.

A 1D coupled transport/cold plasma wave model for parallel ponderomotive density modification near RF actuators

The plasma density profile close to RF actuators plays a vital role in the efficiency of power coupling from the antenna to the core plasma of fusion devices. Nonlinear interactions can be significant when considering the interaction of applied RF power and the tenuous SOL plasma, and the inclusion of this region in computational analysis is essential to providing robust predictive simulations of plasma response to RF application. Of particular interest is the observed density modification during RF operation. Here we present a self consistent description of the nonlinear ponderomotive force in the antenna near field region, via coupling a 1D field aligned transport model with a 1D cold plasma wave model. Results are presented, which show a parallel electric field of 300 Vm -1 drove a density reduction of ~ 20% over 25 RF periods.

Fiber-optic silicon Fabry–Perot interferometric bolometer with improved detection limit for magnetic confinement fusion

Fiber-optic bolometers (FOBs) intended for plasma radiation measurement in magnetically confined fusion have been previously developed using a silicon pillar that functions as both a Fabry–Perot interferometer (FPI) for temperature measurement and an absorber for the radiation. We report an FOB design that can significantly improve the detection sensitivity over earlier designs by engineering the absorber of the FOB. Our design uses the fact that, compared with a silicon pillar, a gold film with the same x-ray absorption thickness will show a much higher temperature rise from a given power density of the radiation. Therefore, the responsivity of an FOB can be improved by attaching a large gold disk to the silicon FPI as the absorber. We have developed a fabrication method for FOBs of such design and obtained an FOB with a 4-µm-thick, 0.6-mm-diameter gold disk attached to a 200-µm-diameter, 100-µm-thick silicon FPI. We have characterized the noise, responsivity, response time, and noise-equivalent power density (NEPD) and compared these with the earlier design where the absorber is mainly the silicon FPI itself. The experimental result suggests that the FOB with the gold disk achieves a responsivity of ∼2.8 mK/(W/m2) and a noise-equivalent-power-density of 0.13 W/m2, which are, respectively, more than nine times larger and six times smaller compared to the FOB using a previous design. Improved NEPD and good absorption over a broad frequency range will make the FOB more attractive for applications in magnetic-confinement fusion devices.

Particle transport constraints via Bayesian spectral fitting of multiple atomic lines

Optimized operation of fusion devices demands detailed understanding of plasma transport, a problem that must be addressed with advances in both measurement and data analysis techniques. In this work, we adopt Bayesian inference methods to determine experimental particle transport, leveraging opportunities from high-resolution He-like ion spectra in a tokamak plasma. The Bayesian spectral fitting code is used to analyze resonance (w), forbidden (z), intercombination (x, y), and satellite (k, j) lines of He-like Ca following laser blow-off injections on Alcator C-Mod. This offers powerful transport constraints since these lines depend differently on electron temperature and density, but also differ in their relation to Li-like, He-like, and H-like ion densities, often the dominant Ca charge states over most of the C-Mod plasma radius. Using synthetic diagnostics based on the AURORA package, we demonstrate improved effectiveness of impurity transport inferences when spectroscopic data from a progressively larger number of lines are included.

Hole formation effect on surface morphological response of plasma-facing tungsten

We report simulation results on the effect of helium (He) bubble bursting-mediated surface hole formation on the surface morphological response of tungsten plasma-facing components (PFCs) in nuclear fusion devices. Our analysis is based on an atomistically informed, continuum-scale model, which is capable of accessing the spatiotemporal scales relevant to the fuzz nanostructure formation process on the surface of PFC tungsten. Our simulations account, in an empirical fashion, for two types of subsurface bubble dynamical phenomena in the nanobubble region of PFC tungsten during He plasma irradiation, involving bubble bursting and surface crater formation. We demonstrate that the hole formation effect on the PFC tungsten surface accelerates the growth rate of nanotendrils and the onset of fuzz formation. As a result, the predicted incubation time for surface nanotendril growth is shortened, in agreement with experimental data of incubation fluence at comparable plasma exposure conditions. We also explore systematically the dependence of the PFC surface morphological response on the areal density of holes introduced at regular time intervals onto the He-implanted tungsten surface, a parameter in our analysis that serves as a proxy for the rate of He bubble bursting. More importantly, our simulations capture fine surface features in the PFC tungsten surface morphology and predict that the average spacing between nanotendrils is on the order of 100 nm, consistent with the experimental findings.

Simultaneous reproduction of experimental profiles, fluxes, transport coefficients, and turbulence characteristics via nonlinear gyrokinetic profile predictions in a DIII-D ITER similar shape plasma

Experimental conditions obtained on the DIII-D tokamak in the ITER Similar Shape (ISS) have been compared extensively with nonlinear gyrokinetic simulation using the CGYRO code [Candy et al., J. Comput. Phys. 324, 73–93 (2016)] with comparisons spanning ion and electron heat fluxes, electron and impurity particle transport, and turbulent fluctuation levels and characteristics. Bayesian optimization techniques [Rodriguez-Fernandez et al., Nucl. Fusion 62(7), 076036 (2022)], combined with nonlinear gyrokinetics, have been used to obtain simultaneously Qi, Qe, and Γe flux-matched profiles that are found to be in good agreement with experimental profile measurements. Synthetic diagnostics were used to compare measured beam emission spectroscopy and correlation electron cyclotron emission turbulent fluctuations with nonlinear simulation. Although some disagreements exist, nonlinear simulations are found to be in generally good agreement with measured fluctuation levels, spectral shapes, and measured radial trends in low-k δne/ne and δTe/Te. Low (Li and C) and mid-Z (Ca) impurity transport was also compared with these flux-matched simulations. Fully stripped, low-Z impurities are well reproduced by the gyrokinetic modeling while clear disagreement exists in comparisons with mid-Z impurities. Nonlinear gyrokinetic investigation into the Z dependence of impurity transport in the ISS conditions is also performed, demonstrating clear trends of impurity diffusion with impurity Z (both D∝Z and D∝1/Z) that vary with the radial location studied. These trends are shown to result from the local dominance of ion temperature gradient or ∇n driven trapped electron mode turbulence and may contribute to the disagreement between simulation and experiment in mid-Z impurity transport. The results of this work represent one of the most complete validation studies of the gyrokinetic model performed to date and provide an example of new capabilities for predicting performance in future fusion devices.

Low latency optical-based mode tracking with machine learning deployed on FPGAs on a tokamak

Active feedback control in magnetic confinement fusion devices is desirable to mitigate plasma instabilities and enable robust operation. Optical high-speed cameras provide a powerful, non-invasive diagnostic and can be suitable for these applications. Here, in this study, we process high-speed camera data, at rates exceeding 100 kfps, on in situ field-programmable gate array (FPGA) hardware to track magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) mode evolution and generate control signals in real time. Our system utilizes a convolutional neural network (CNN) model, which predicts the n = 1 MHD mode amplitude and phase using camera images with better accuracy than other tested non-deep-learning-based methods. By implementing this model directly within the standard FPGA readout hardware of the high-speed camera diagnostic, our mode tracking system achieves a total trigger-to-output latency of 17.6 μs and a throughput of up to 120 kfps. This study at the High Beta Tokamak-Extended Pulse (HBT-EP) experiment demonstrates an FPGA-based high-speed camera data acquisition and processing system, enabling application in real-time machine-learning-based tokamak diagnostic and control as well as potential applications in other scientific domains.

A novel closed-form inversion of the convection–diffusion equation for rapid convection, diffusion, and source profile estimation

To simplify and routinize particle transport analysis in fusion devices, a novel closed form linear inversion of the 1-D convection diffusion equation to estimate diffusion and convection profiles D(r ⃗ ), v(r ⃗ ) and source distribution s(r ⃗ ), of a single species from measured data is derived and demonstrated on synthetic data. Profile estimates of D(r ⃗ ), v(r ⃗ ), s(r ⃗ ) and their uncertainties are given as a matrix expression constructed directly from the incoming density data of the transported species in space and time, as well as physics assumptions such as particle conservation and experimental geometry. The derived matrix expression can be applied to a pumped or non-pumped recycling species, or a non-recycling species that is effectively “pumped” by plasma-facing surfaces.

Analysis of Design Alternatives of Actively Cooled RF Window for MPEX

The Materials Plasma Exposure eXperiment (MPEX) has been designed as a linear plasma divertor simulator in order to address plasma material interaction (PMI) science for next-generation fusion devices. It will have the capability to test neutron irradiated samples with plasma fluxes of greater than 10 24 m -2 s -1 . It is expected to operate steady state for up to 10 6 s to consider PMI affects through reactor end of life. The conceptual design of MPEX was completed in 2019, with preliminary design having begun in 2020. The plasma source for MPEX is a helicon antenna, where the energized helical antenna sits outside of the vacuum in order to minimize impurities in the plasma. It is expected to receive up to 200 kW of continuous power, and so the antenna and the window must be actively cooled. The water-cooled copper antenna has been operated at full power on the Proto-MPEX device (which is a test facility to demonstrate the plasma source and heating systems). The water-cooled window, however, is a novel component that must meet numerous competing requirements. It requires a low dielectric loss to allow the Radio Frequency (RF) power to create the plasma within the vacuum boundary. It must be structurally robust to handle the significant heat flux from the plasma and any heat from dielectric coupling. It must be compatible with the coolant (preferably water). It requires a vacuum seal that minimizes impurities into the plasma and does not compromise the structural integrity of the window. Two window designs have been tested. Results from these tests, where temperatures are measured and heat fluxes inferred from infrared camera data, have been correlated with thermal-structural simulations. When these simulations are extrapolated to the full power steady-state heat fluxes that are expected in MPEX, the designs do not appear to have the necessary structural robustness. This study explores design alternatives for the MPEX helicon antenna window, presents analysis results for several of the alternatives, and shows a viable solution that satisfies the requirements for MPEX operation.

Material Plasma Exposure eXperiment High Heat Flux Microwave Absorber Design, Manufacture, and Articles Test

The Material Plasma Exposure eXperiment (MPEX) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory is in the final design phase. MPEX will be capable of exposing neutron-irradiated materials to plasmas for the study of plasma-material interaction. This facility will provide information about the complex effects of plasmas on materials and contribute to examining new materials that can withstand high heat fluxes and high ion fluences for future fusion devices. MPEX plasma is heated by 70-GHz or 105-GHz electron Bernstein wave/electron cyclotron heating (ECH), and the high-frequency microwaves are prone to scattering microwave power, which can have detrimental effects, especially on diagnostic components. A large portion of the injected ECH power is expected to be absorbed by plasma, but the remainder requires that microwave absorbers be placed immediately upstream and downstream of the ECH launcher to minimize stray microwaves leaving the ECH region. These microwaves can inadvertently heat components that cannot be shielded or otherwise protected. The microwave absorber design is based on an array of pyramid-shaped ceramic tiles brazed to a water-cooled explosion-bonded heat sink and a stainless steel plate to produce one tile module. Computational fluid dynamics and structural analyses were performed to optimize and validate the design. Multiple test coupons were produced to validate the process for brazing the two different tile materials to the Glidcop AL-15 baseplate. The articles were tested to evaluate the reliability and thermal performance through exposure to an electron beam with a heat flux of up to 1.5 MW/m2. Nondestructive testing was performed before and after testing to identify voids or separations that may have been introduced by the high heat flux. This paper discusses the details of high heat flux microwave absorber design, manufacturing details and associated challenges, and test results, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed design.
