چکیده

The penalization method is used to take account of obstacles, such as the limiter, in a tokamak. Because of the magnetic confinement of the plasma in a tokamak, the transport occurs essentially in the direction parallel to the magnetic field lines. We study a 1D nonlinear hyperbolic system as a simplified model of the plasma transport in the area close to the wall. A penalization which cuts the flux term of the momentum is studied. We show numerically that this penalization creates a Dirac measure at the plasma-limiter interface which prevents us from defining the transport term in the usual distribution sense. Hence, a new penalty method is proposed for this hyperbolic system. For this penalty method, an asymptotic expansion and numerical tests give an optimal rate of convergence without spurious boundary layer. Another two-fields penalization has also been implemented and the numerical convergence analysis when the penalization parameter tends to 0 reveals the presence of a boundary layer.

High order approximation of a tokamak edge plasma transport minimal model with Bohm boundary conditions

In the recent paper [2], a penalty method is proposed to address the so-called Bohm boundary conditions which are generally imposed to model the limiters, i.e. the walls that intercept in a tokamak the magnetic field lines. This approach is validated by considering a simple one-dimensional hyperbolic system, that constitutes a minimal transport model for ionic density and momentum. In [1] this ...

Mathematical Modeling for an Integrated Inventory System with Two-level Trade Credit and Random Defectiveness in Transport

Modern business environment focuses on improving the operational efficiency of supplier, retailer and customers through integrating their inventory. Although a smoothly running integrated inventory system is ideal, the reality is to deal with imperfectness in transportation. In actual production environments, inventory items are not perfect and defectiveness occurs in random process.  In this p...
