Comparison of gas puff imaging data in NSTX with DEGAS 2 simulations
نویسنده
چکیده
Gas-Puff-Imaging (GPI) is a two dimensional diagnostic which measures the edge Dα light emission from a neutral D2 gas puff nears the outer mid-plane of NSTX. DEGAS 2 is a 3-D Monte Carlo code used to model neutral transport and atomic physics in tokamak plasmas. In this paper we compare measurements of the Dα light emission obtained by GPI on NSTX with DEGAS 2 simulations of Dα light emission for specific experiments. Both the simulated spatial distribution and absolute intensity of the Dα light emission agree well with the experimental data obtained between ELMs in H-mode.

Progress towards the validation of models of the behavior of neutral helium in gas puff imaging experiments
Gas puff imaging (GPI) experiments are designed to provide high time and space resolution data on the structure of plasma turbulence in the plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. We first examine the temporal behavior of the helium atoms used as the emitting species for GPI and show that for the time scales of interest (& 1 μs), the atomic physics model underlying the conventional interpret...
متن کاملPPPL-3705_Cover copy
Visible imaging of gas puffs has been used on the Alcator C-Mod tokamak to characterize edge plasma turbulence, yielding data that can be compared with plasma turbulence codes. Simulations of these experiments with the DEGAS 2 Monte Carlo neutral transport code have been carried out to explore the relationship between the plasma fluctuations and the observed light emission. By imposing two-dime...

Investigating multi cyclic gas (N2 and CO2) huff and puff have been conducted by long sandpack simulations with four different crude oils from Jiangsu oilfield. According to the production differential pressure and the production regularity during huff and puff, the production process was divided into three sections; the first one is free gas production section; the second section is low viscou...
متن کاملSimulations of diffusive lithium evaporation onto the NSTX vessel walls
A model for simulating the diffusive evaporation of lithium into a helium filled NSTX vacuum vessel is described and validated against an initial set of deposition experiments. The DEGAS 2 based model consists of a three-dimensional representation of the vacuum vessel, the elastic scattering process, and a kinetic description of the evaporated atoms. Additional assumptions are required to accou...
