Kinetic modelling of edge-localised modes in fusion plasmas. Ghent University
Nuclear fusion is one of the most promising options to produce zero-carbon energy on large scales. For the stable operation of fusion reactors it is essential that we understand and are able to control the many plasma instabilities arising in the reactor. ELMs in particular are instabilities that can be detrimental to the energy confinement and lifetime of the reactor. While ELMs have been successfully modelled with MHD, this approach ...
