An alternative justification for the stationary assumption made by many reduced models for nonlocal electron heat flow in plasmas Open
Nonlocal models are widely used for approximating kinetic effects on electron heat flow in fusion-relevant plasmas. Almost universally, such models have no explicit time dependence and are designed to make heat flow predictions based direc…

Incorporating nonlocal parallel thermal transport in 1D ITER SOL modelling Open
Accurate modelling of the thermal transport in the 'scrape-off-layer' (SOL) is of great importance for assessing the divertor exhaust power handling in future high-power tokamak devices. In conditions of low collisionality and/or steep tem…

Nonlocal transport in fusion-relevant plasmas Open
Trying to accurately predict results of fusion experiments by means of computer simulations has long been a formidable challenge in both inertial and magnetic confinement approaches. This thesis evaluates and builds on three different mode…

AWBS kinetic modeling of electrons with nonlocal Ohms law in plasmas relevant to inertial confinement fusion Open
The interaction of lasers with plasmas very often leads to nonlocal transport conditions, where the classical hydrodynamic model fails to describe important microscopic physics related to highly mobile particles. In this study we analyze a…

Incorporating kinetic effects on Nernst advection in inertial fusion simulations Open
We present a simple method to incorporate nonlocal effects on the Nernst advection of magnetic fields down steep temperature gradients, and demonstrate its effectiveness in a number of inertial fusion scenarios. This is based on assuming t…

Testing nonlocal models of electron thermal conduction for magnetic and inertial confinement fusion applications Open
Three models for nonlocal electron thermal transport are here compared against Vlasov-Fokker-Planck (VFP) codes to assess their accuracy in situations relevant to both inertial fusion hohlraums and tokamak scrape-off layers. The models tes…

A comparison of non-local electron transport models for laser-plasmas relevant to inertial confinement fusion Open
We compare the reduced non-local electron transport model developed by Schurtz et al. [Phys. Plasmas 7, 4238 (2000)] to Vlasov-Fokker-Planck simulations. Two new test cases are considered: the propagation of a heat wave through a high dens…
