Cross-field Particle Transport in the Edge of Plasma of Tokamak Experiments and Implications for ITER
Author: Brian LaBombard
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 20
Book Description
Particle transport in the edge plasma and scrape-off layer will play a key role in the performance and operation of a tokamak fusion reactor: setting the width of the scrape-off layer density profile and its impurity screening characteristics, regulating the energetic particle fluxes onto first-wall components and associated impurity generation rates, and determining the effectiveness of the divertor in receiving particle exhaust and controlling neutral pressures in the main-chamber. The processes which govern particle transport involve plasma turbulence, phenomena which can not yet be reliably computed from a first-principles numerical simulation. Thus, in order to project to a reactor-scale experiment, such as ITER, one must first develop an understanding of particle transport phenomena based on experimental measurements in existing plasma fusion devices. Over the past few years of research, a number of fundamental advances in the understanding of the cross-field particle transport physics have occurred, replacing crude, incorrect, and often misleading transport models such as the "constant diffusion coefficient" model with a more appropriate description of the phenomenon. It should be noted that this description applies to transport processes in the absence of ELM phenomenon, i.e., physics underlying the "background" plasma state. In this letter, we first review the experimental support for this understanding which is based extensively on data from L-mode discharges and from H-mode discharges at time intervals without ELMs. We then comment on its implications for ITER.
