Fourier-spectral element approximation of the two fluid ion-electron Braginskii system with application to tokamak edge plasma in divertor configuration
Due to the extreme conditions required to produce energy by nuclear fusion in tokamaks, simulating the plasma behavior is an important but challenging task. We focus on the edge part of the plasma, where fluid approaches are probably the best suited, and our approach relies on the Braginskii ion-electron model. Assuming that the electric field is electrostatic, this yields a set of 10 strongly ...
متن کاملFinite element modelling of transport in a tokamak edge and divertor
A finite element approach is described, for modelling transport in tokamak edge and divertor plasma. The method discretizes all transport equations on an unstructured triangular mesh. The advantages and difficulties of this approach are discussed. Results are presented and compared with experimental measurements made on TdeV. Example results are also given for JET, using a simplified physics mo...

Submitted for the DPP06 Meeting of The American Physical Society Status of BOUT fluid turbulence code: improvements and verification M.V. UMANSKY, L.L. LODESTRO, X.Q. XU, LLNL — BOUT is an electromagnetic fluid turbulence code for tokamak edge plasma [1]. BOUT performs time integration of reduced Braginskii plasma fluid equations, using spatial discretization in realistic geometry and employing...
متن کاملA novel flexible field-aligned coordinate system for tokamak edge plasma simulation
Tokamak plasmas are confined by amagnetic field that limits the particle and heat transport perpendicular to the field. Parallel to the field the ionised particles canmove freely, so to obtain confinement the field lines are ‘‘closed’’ (i.e. form closed surfaces of constant poloidal flux) in the core of a tokamak. Towards, the edge, however, the field lines intersect physical surfaces, leading ...
متن کاملDevelopment of vector following mesh generator for analysis of two-dimensional tokamak plasma transport
A field-based new adaptive mesh generator, VEGA (VEctor-following Grid generator for Adaptive mesh), is developed for 2-D core–edge coupled tokamak plasma transport simulations. VEGA can generate timevarying and spatially non-uniform grids by using a stretching function. It provides two operation modes for generating non-uniform radial distributions. One is so-called ionmodewhere the grid is au...
