Safety Factor Profile Control in a Tokamak

by Emmanuel Witrant, Christophe Prieur, Federico Bribiesca Argomedo

Control of the Safety Factor Profile in a Tokamak uses Lyapunov techniques to address a challenging problem for which even the simplest physically relevant models are represented by nonlinear, time-dependent, partial differential equations (PDEs). This is because of the spatiotemporal dynamics of transport phenomena (magnetic flux, heat, densities, etc.) in the anisotropic plasma medium.

Robustness considerations are ubiquitous in...
