In this recently published article, SepOS predictions are made for SPARC. The paper contains the previously unpublished SepOS databases for ASDEX upgrade for different magnetic field strengths and plasma currents. The minimum of the heating power limit of the L-H transition is analytically derived from SepOS. And the SepOS for SPARC parameters is presented.

An overview article about the SepOS was published. The SepOS concept has been pedagogically revised to make the concept more accessible. The work is more closely related to the Rogers, Drake and Zeiler (RDZ) model. This paper summarizes the recent developments regarding the turbulent control parameter and the SepOS. The outlook includes many new ideas.
