Theory Of Toroidally Confined Plasmas, The (Third Edition)
This graduate level textbook develops the theory of magnetically confined plasma, with the aim of bringing the reader to the level of current research in the field of thermonuclear fusion. It begins with the basic concepts of magnetic field description, plasma equilibria and stability, and goes on to derive the equations for guiding center particle motion in an equilibrium field. Topics include linear and nonlinear ideal and resistive modes and particle transport. It is of use to workers in the field of fusion both for its wide-ranging account of tokamak physics and as a kind of handbook or formulary.This edition has been extended in a number of ways. The material on mode-particle interactio...
Finite Element Methods in Linear Ideal Magnetohydrodynamics
For more than ten years we have been working with the ideal linear MHD equations used to study the stability of thermonuc1ear plasmas. Even though the equations are simple and the problem is mathematically well formulated, the numerical problems were much harder to solve than anticipated. Already in the one-dimensional cylindrical case, what we called "spectral pollution" appeared. We were able to eliminate it by our "ecological solution". This solution was applied to the two-dimensional axisymmetric toroidal geometry. Even though the spectrum was unpolluted the precision was not good enough. Too many mesh points were necessary to obtain the demanded precision. Our solution was what we calle...
Systems Approaches to Nuclear Fusion Reactors
This book offers an overall review, applying systems engineering and architecture approaches, of the design, optimization, operation and results of leading fusion experiments. These approaches provide a unified means of evaluating reactor design. Methodologies are developed for more coherent construction or evaluation of fusion devices, associated experiments and operating procedures. The main focus is on tokamaks, with almost all machines and their important results being integrated into a systems design space. Case studies focus on DIII-D, TCV, JET, WEST, the fusion reactor prototype ITER and the EU DEMO concept. Stellarator, Mirror and Laser inertial confinement experiments are similarly ...
The Fusion Quest
To help answer this question, Fowler explains the physical principles on which fusion is based, describes the experiments that have led to the present state of the art, and shows how all these considerations would affect the design of possible fusion-based nuclear power plants.
Theory of Tokamak Plasmas
This is a graduate textbook on tokamak physics, designed to provide a basic introduction to plasma equilibrium, particle orbits, transport, and those ideal and resistive magnetohydrodynamic instabilities which dominate the behavior of a tokamak discharge, and to develop the mathematical methods necessary for their theoretical analysis.
Europe's Experiment in Fusion
JET is the joint European project to build and operate a large thermonuclear fusion device at a site in Oxfordshire, England. The largest tokamak ever built, JET is unique amongst contemporary experiments. Its subsequent, and continuing, technical success is the result of a dynamic involvement of all the major fusion laboratories of western Europe. The project is a major step in the unification of the European Fusion Programme and an outstanding example of community spirit within Europe. Europe's Experiment in Fusion'' is comprehensively written and traces the background leading up to the JET project. The author details the practical setting-up of the operation, from technical and financial aspects through to the problems encountered in any such joint European effort. The final design decisions are summarised and the programmes of construction and operation fully described. Extensive colour illustrations are provided and the book concludes with the inauguration of the device by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
