Double-null power-sharing dynamics in MAST-U

Maintaining an effective double-null (DN) configuration is expected to be challenging in reactor-scale tokamak devices. As divertor power-sharing is closely linked to the magnetic topology, even minor variations can lead to fast power-sharing fluctuations which exacerbate the already daunting exhaust challenge. While the static aspects of DN power-sharing have been extensively studied across various devices, this paper presents the first detailed investigation of its dynamic behaviour. We employ dedicated H-mode experiments in MAST-U, in Super-X divertor configuration, featuring perturbation frequencies up to 200 Hz. Our results clearly show no significant dynamic damping of the power-sharing within this frequency range: the divertor responds equally to both fast and slow perturbations. Moreover, the dynamic response also aligns with quasi-static results from slow ramps, implying that static power-sharing models remain valid even for fast fluctuations. Occasionally, some deviations from the otherwise mainly linear behaviour are observed, alongside notable scatter and asymmetries between upwards and downwards trajectories. These observations are likely linked to changes in core conditions, though the underlying mechanisms remain unclear and require further study.

この論文は、MAST-Uトカマクにおける二重ヌル(DN)配位の動的電力共有特性を詳細に調査したものです。実験では、Super-X ダイバータ配位でH-モードプラズマを用いて、最大200Hzまでの高速擾乱を加えています。その結果、電力共有は擾乱周波数に依存せず、静的な特性と一致することが明らかになりました。これらの知見は、次世代の大型トカマクにおけるダイバータ設計に役立つと考えられます。

This paper investigates the dynamic behavior of power-sharing in a double-null (DN) divertor configuration on the MAST-U tokamak. It shows that the divertor responds equally to both fast and slow perturbations, and that static power-sharing models remain valid even for fast fluctuations. Occasional deviations from linear behavior are observed, likely due to changes in core conditions, requiring further study.
