2 3D shaping offers a large design space for stellarator configurations Recent stellarator optimizations have reduced crossfield neoclassical losses << anomalous losses Ripple reduction, quasi-symmetry, isodynamicity, omnigeneity Hybrid with plasma current) devices, aspect ratios down to ~ 2 Within these devices a variety of parallel momentum transport characteristics are present poloidal/toroidal velocity shearing two-dimensional flow structure within magnetic surfaces Parallel transport: a new dimension for stellarator optimizations?
3 Motivation for parallel transport/flow analysis: Universal nature of E x B shearing for shredding eddies over a wide range of configurations/turbulence mechanisms Tokamak specific drives: grad p Stellarator specific drives: Γ i - Γ e Drives shared in common: momentum, Reynold s stress, orbit loss ITER/DEMO H-mode power thresholds K. Burrell, POP ) to 200 MW 1999 ITER Basis document) Current design: 40 to 70 MW DEMO: up to 300 MW Will alpha heating power isotropic) count the same way as power anisotropic) on which these scaling estimates are based? Could a stellarator lower these power thresholds by optimizing around E x B shearing rates?
4 Advances in stellarator optimization have allowed the design of 3D configurations with magnetic structures that approximate: straight helix/tokamak/connected mirrors: HSX <a>=0.15 m <R> = 1.2 m Quasi-helical symmetry B ~ B mθ - nζ) NCSX QPS <a> = 0.32 m <R> = 1.4 m <a> = 0.34 m <R> = 1 m Quasi-toroidal symmetry B ~ B θ) Quasi-poloidal symmetry B ~ B ζ) U U U
