متن کاملPlasma shaping effects on tokamak scrape-off layer turbulence
The impact of plasma shaping on tokamak scrape-off layer (SOL) turbulence is investigated. The drift-reduced Braginskii equations are written for arbitrary magnetic geometries, and an analytical equilibrium model is used to introduce the dependence of turbulence equations on tokamak inverse aspect ratio ( ), Shafranov’s shift (∆), elongation (κ), and triangularity (δ). A linear study of plasma ...
متن کاملA theoretical interpretation of the main scrape-off layer heat-flux width scaling for tokamak inner-wall limited plasmas
The International Tokamak Physics Activity Topical Group on scrape-off layer and divertor physics has amassed a database comprising hundreds of reciprocating Langmuir probe measurements of the main scrape-off layer heat-flux width λq in inner-wall limited discharges. We have carried out an analysis, based on turbulent transport theory, of the variation of λq with respect to the dimensionless pl...
متن کاملThe Scrape - Off - Layer in Alcator C - Mod – Transport , Turbulence , and Flows
Research on the scrape-off-layer plasma of the Alcator C-Mod Tokamak is reviewed. The research has focused on understanding the transport of energy and particles both parallel and perpendicular to the magnetic field. Large differences between the inboard, high-field side scrape-off-layer and the outboard, low-field side are found. On the outboard side large levels of anomalous cross-field trans...
متن کاملTheory of the scrape-off layer width in inner-wall limited tokamak plasmas
We develop a predictive theory applicable to the scrape-off layer (SOL) of inner-wall limited plasmas. Using the non-linear flattening of the pressure profile as a saturation mechanism for resistive ballooning modes, we are able to demonstrate and quantify the increase of the SOL width with plasma size, connection length, plasma β, and collisionality. Individual aspects of the theory, such as s...
