Computation of the MHD equilibrium of a tokamak plasma is reviewed as comprehensively
as possible. The basic equation of this problem is the Grad-Shafranov equation. General …

The code NICE (Newton direct and Inverse Computation for Equilibrium) enables to solve
numerically several problems of plasma free-boundary equilibrium computations in a …

We describe an accurate and efficient model for studying the evolution of tokamak plasmas.
The equilibrium problem for a plasma with a free boundary is solved using the" inverse …

Tokamaks are the most promising way for nuclear fusion reactors. Disruption in tokamaks is
a violent event that terminates a confined plasma and causes unacceptable damage to the …

Largely self-contained, this text covers the computational mathematics and techniques
needed to simulate magnetically confined plasmas in modern magnetic fusion experiments …

A selection of achievements and first physics results are presented of the European
Integrated Tokamak Modelling Task Force (EFDA ITM-TF) simulation framework, which aims …

This paper focuses on the numerical methods recently developed in order to simulate the
time evolution of a tokamak plasma equilibrium at the resistive diffusion time scale. Starting …

Many effects influence toroidal flow evolution in tokamak plasmas. Momentum sources and
radial plasma transport due to collisional processes and microturbulence-induced …

The real-time control of plasma position, shape and current in a tokamak has to be ensured
by a number of electrical circuits consisting of voltage suppliers and axisymmetric coils …

A study of plasma equilibrium and stability in a tokamak with an unsaturated iron cpre is
presented. A spool model is developed for the iron core. Both a simplified force balance …
