Transport and losses of energetic particles in tokamaks in the presence of Alfvén activity using the new full orbit TAPaS code coupled to FAR3d
Résumé
Recent developments and tools integrated into the TAPaS code are presented, enabling realistic scenario simulations of particle dynamics within experimental tokamak magnetic equilibria. In particular, the enhanced capabilities of TAPaS enable seamless coupling with external simulations, provided the metric and equilibrium magnetic field of the external code are known. Coupling TAPaS with the gyro-fluid code FAR3d, the transport and losses of energetic particles in the presence Alfvén eigenmodes (AEs) in DIII-D plasma discharge #159243 were investigated. Detailed analyses of prompt losses with and without collisions were performed. Then, further analysis was performed in the presence of electromagnetic perturbations resulting from AEs activity. The results indicate that, for the energies and the initial conditions considered here, the presence of AEs enhances the particle losses.
