Left: geometry of the SPARC tokamak showing the pump volume and the "louver" actuator that restricts gas flow between the plasma and pumping chambers. Right: neutral gas pressure increases ...

The group's research is primarily in magnetic fusion tokamak turbulence and transport ... These are three dimensional simulations using realistic geometry. We are also active in developing nonlinear ...

The Globus-M2 spherical tokamak that Bakharev his team are working on may be an important first step towards this goal. Tokamaks confine plasma – a hot, ionized gas – using magnetic fields ...
