Formation of convective cells in the scrape-off layer of the CASTOR tokamak [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Understanding of the scrape-off layer (SOL) physics in tokamaks requires diagnostics with sufficient temporal and spatial resolution. This contribution describes results of experiments performed in the SOL of the CASTOR tokamak (R=40 cm, a = 6 cm) by ...

SOL parallel momentum loss in ASDEX Upgrade and comparison with SOLPS

open access: yesNuclear Materials and Energy, 2017
An H-mode database of ASDEX Upgrade plasmas with improved diagnostics for a variety of different plasma conditions has been analysed to study the momentum removal in the Scrape-Off Layer (SOL).

Radial convection of finite ion temperature, high amplitude plasma blobs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We present results from simulations of seeded blob convection in the scrape-off-layer of magnetically confined fusion plasmas. We consistently incorporate high fluctuation amplitude levels and finite Larmor radius (FLR) effects using a fully nonlinear ...

Convergence of statistical moments of particle density time series in scrape-off layer plasmas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Particle density fluctuations in the scrape-off layer of magnetically confined plasmas, as measured by gas-puff imaging or Langmuir probes, are modeled as the realization of a stochastic process in which a superposition of pulses with a fixed shape, an ...

Transient analysis of high-Z impurity screening by additional injection of low-Z impurity using integrated divertor code SONIC

open access: yesNuclear Fusion, 2023
The dynamics of the screening effect of Ar impurity by the injection of additional Ne has been studied through time-dependent analysis with the integrated divertor code SONIC. In the preceding study (Yamoto et al 2020 Plasma Phys. Control.

Reduced physics model of the tokamak Scrape-Off-Layer for pulse design

open access: yesNuclear Materials and Energy, 2023
The dynamic interplay between the core and the edge plasma has important consequences in the confinement and heating of fusion plasma. The transport of the Scrape-Off-Layer (SOL) plasma imposes boundary conditions on the core plasma, and neutral ...

Velocity shear, turbulent saturation, and steep plasma gradients in the scrape-off layer of inner-wall limited tokamaks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The narrow power decay-length ($\lambda_q$), recently found in the scrape-off layer (SOL) of inner-wall limited (IWL) discharges in tokamaks, is studied using 3D, flux-driven, global two-fluid turbulence simulations.

On the Turbulent Behavior of a Magnetically Confined Plasma near the X-Point

open access: yesFluids, 2022
We construct a model for the turbulence near the X-point of a Tokamak device and, under suitable assumptions, we arrive to a closed equation for the electric field potential fluctuations.

A Drift-Kinetic Analytical Model for SOL Plasma Dynamics at Arbitrary Collisionality [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A drift-kinetic model to describe the plasma dynamics in the scrape-off layer region of tokamak devices at arbitrary collisionality is derived. Our formulation is based on a gyroaveraged Lagrangian description of the charged particle motion, and the ...

Scrape‐Off Layer Turbulence Theory and Simulations [PDF]

open access: yesContributions to Plasma Physics, 1998
AbstractSignificant investigations in the area of scrape‐off layer (SOL) turbulence theory and simulations are reviewed. The paper begins with description and derivation of the various models investigating specific linear modes as well as a discussion of the regions of validity.
