Abstract:L-mode negative triangularity (NT) operation is a promising alternative to the positive triangularity (PT) H-mode as a high-confinement ELM-free operational regime. In this work, two TCV Ohmic L-mode core density ramps with opposite triangularity δ ≅± 0.3 are investigated using SOLPS-ITER modelling. This numerical study aims to investigate the power exhaust differences between NT and PT focusing, in particular, on the geometrical effect of triangularity. To disentangle the latter from differences related to cr… Show more
