10:00:18 From Volker Naulin to Denis Kalupin(Direct Message): I say a few words and then to you? 10:18:20 From Joaquim Loizu to Everyone: Just a comment: here the simulations are electrostatic and so no MHD 10:18:37 From Hartmut Zohm to Everyone: Thanks, Joaquim! 10:21:33 From Marina Becoulet to Everyone: But BOUT++ is also fluid? 10:22:16 From Volker Naulin to Everyone: yes, it is. 10:26:55 From Andreas Dinklage to Everyone: Er is given by grad Ti in the edge?! 10:27:49 From Andreas Dinklage to Everyone: Just a google QCM W7-AS reference https://aip.scitation.org/doi/pdf/10.1063/1.2909159 10:28:06 From Joaquim Loizu to Everyone: We observe a negative radial electric field in the core and a positive Er in the SOL. The core neoclassical physics is missing. 10:28:44 From Joaquim Loizu to Everyone: The core results are only valid if you think of it as a low temperature machine (e.g. TJ-K) where nu_star>>1 in the core as well 10:28:59 From Andreas Dinklage to Everyone: @Joaquim: yes - that makes sense - but Er outside the LCFS is not self-consistently calculated, right? 10:29:25 From Joaquim Loizu to Everyone: yes, outside Er is probably set by the sheath, i.e. phi~3T_e 10:29:40 From Joaquim Loizu to Everyone: so it is self-consistent 10:31:48 From Joaquim Loizu to Everyone: One last comment: GBS is not aiming at studying stellarator core physics. Only boundary. But we simulate the full volume because it is simpler than looking for appropriate core-boundary boundary conditions 10:33:34 From Matthias Hoelzl to Everyone: JOREK is also extended to stellarators and we will try first simplified W7-X applications this year (so far only tested for simple configurations) 11:01:05 From Gloria Falchetto to Everyone: IMAS can be extended 11:01:41 From Gloria Falchetto to Everyone: datastructures to be added can be identified and proposed (JITRA trackers) 11:01:46 From Gloria Falchetto to Everyone: JIRA 11:02:35 From Samuel Lazerson to Everyone: @Matthias, yes I’m looking forward to seeing the JOREK simulations of W7-X. 11:03:39 From Matthias Hoelzl to Everyone: @Samuel: Let's see how far we get there. Garching and Greifswald are working together on this in the future. From Greifswald side, Ksenia Aleynikova is involved since very recently. From Greifswald side, the main developer Nikita Nikulsin is leaving and we have to clarify who will continue the work from our side 11:04:08 From Matthias Hoelzl to Everyone: Sorry, typo: From Garching side, the main developer Nikita Nikulsin... 11:40:23 From Joaquim Loizu to Everyone: @Hartmut: not sure this is rigorous enough for these goals, but here is some attempt: 11:40:24 From Joaquim Loizu to Everyone: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0029-5515/55/6/063026 11:41:25 From Samuel Lazerson to Everyone: That paper has some VERY spurious conclusions. Which were later shown to be incorrect. 11:42:00 From Joaquim Loizu to Everyone: Not gonna defend it :) 11:42:27 From Joaquim Loizu to Everyone: I am curious about these incorrect conclusions, maybe you can explain to me offline 11:42:43 From Samuel Lazerson to Everyone: http://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/journal/pop/22/7/10.1063/1.4923017 11:42:56 From Samuel Lazerson to Everyone: That’s the more rigorous version. 11:43:10 From Joaquim Loizu to Everyone: thanks! 11:43:51 From Samuel Lazerson to Everyone: The general conclusion about VMEC from the A. Reiman paper was that it was doing something ‘wrong’. This was later found to be just due to how the code was being run. 11:45:17 From Samuel Lazerson to Everyone: And the paper which attempts to understand what VMEC does at a rational surface is here (shameless self-promotion warning): 11:45:19 From Samuel Lazerson to Everyone: http://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/journal/pop/23/1/10.1063/1.4939881 11:47:12 From Joaquim Loizu to Everyone: looking back, this was a great paper! 11:49:53 From Samuel Lazerson to Everyone: Also, we should keep in mind there is a peeling-ballooning code for VMEC called PB3D (https://pb3d.github.io/). 11:59:59 From Tilmann Lunt to Everyone: @Andreas&Hartmut: in a different context we discussed shoting an electron beam in the pure TF field and measure the poloidal displacement due to the drifts. I don't remember the main argument against that, but the experts were not convinced by this idea 12:01:53 From Samuel Lazerson to Everyone: @Tillman. Hasn’t someone done this in smaller Tokamaks? 12:03:49 From Hartmut Zohm to Everyone: @Denis: I think the host can dump all comment into a file. Would you please do this and send to me (there are very interesting comments in there which I could not follow during my talk)? 12:04:42 From Andreas Dinklage to Everyone: I'm interested as well - maybe you add it to the INDICO materials of the meeting ? Thanks 12:08:08 From Hartmut Zohm to Everyone: I was just informed how everyone can do that: klick on the three points and you can save it locally ;-) 12:08:20 From Hartmut Zohm to Everyone: (thanks, Mattia ;-) ) 12:09:50 From Andreas Dinklage to Everyone: right - but it's gone when the meeting is over ... think it would be great if Denis could take care that we keep the file on INDICO - thanks! 12:16:27 From Tilmann Lunt to Everyone: @Sam: could very well be, but in AUG I am not aware 12:20:19 From Samuel Lazerson to Everyone: @Tillman: it was KSTAR: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0920379610003418 12:24:19 From Joachim Geiger to Everyone: The bootstrap current in stelarators in General is much more complicated than using just a proportionality to the pressure Gradient. That's just to be remembered. 12:25:08 From Samuel Lazerson to Everyone: There is also the issue of the susceptance matrices for the equilibrium. Which relate current to changes in iota, irrespective of where the current arrises from (bootstrap or driven). 12:27:23 From Joachim Geiger to Everyone: Additionally for an optimized Stellarator like W7-X there are dependencies of the mono-energetic Transport coefficients on the self-consistent radial Electric field. It is not that easy. 12:29:07 From Joachim Geiger to Everyone: The pressure jumps are balanced by Surface currents. 12:30:21 From Joachim Geiger to Everyone: … on the interface surfaces. 12:32:55 From Joaquim Loizu to Everyone: @joachimgeiger: yes, I agree that bootstrap current can be very complicated…but we have to start somewhere :) In any case, SPEC is not gonna tell us what is the bootstrap current, so I am open to any improved model :) 12:36:41 From Joachim Geiger to Everyone: Dear Joacquim, my Statement is not against the Approach in the studies. Thus, we agree with each other.
