CRONOS is a suite of numerical codes for the predictive/interpretative simulation of a full
tokamak discharge. It integrates, in a modular structure, a 1D transport solver with general …

In this paper, we review the thermal plasma confinement and transport properties observed
and predicted in low aspect ratio tokamaks, or spherical tokamaks (STs), which can depart …

The trapped gyro-Landau fluid (TGLF) transport model computes the quasilinear particle
and energy driftwave fluxes in tokamaks with shaped geometry, finite aspect ratio and …

The mega amp spherical tokamak (MAST) was a low aspect ratio device (R/a= 0.85/0.65~
1.3) with similar poloidal cross-section to other medium-size tokamaks. The physics …
