We illustrate how Fortran 90 supports object-oriented concepts by example of plasma particle computations on the IBM SP. Our experience shows that Fortran 90 and object-oriented m...

In the advanced tokamak (AT) operating mode of the DIII-D tokamak, an integrated multivariable controller takes into account highly coupled influences of plasma equilibrium shape,...

The central task of current profile control during the ramp-up phase of a tokamak discharge is to find the actuator trajectories that are necessary to achieve certain desired curre...
Abstract-- The control of the toroidal current density spatial profile in tokamak plasmas will be absolutely critical in future commercial-grade reactors to enable high fusion gain...
