Book Description
Plasmas in edge regions of tokamaks can be very optically thick to hydrogen lines. Strong line radiation introduces a non-local coupling between different regions of the plasma and can significantly affect the ionization and energy balance. These effects can be very important, but they are not included in current edge plasma simulations. We report here on progress in self-consistently including the effects of a magnetic field, line radiation and plasma transport in modeling tokamak edge plasmas.

Book Description
Hydrogenic resonance line radiation interacts with the high-density low-temperature plasma at the tokamak edge. As a result, there exists a significant nonlocal plasma energy transport channel, local atomic level populations are altered by global plasma properties, and plasma transport is affected. In this dissertation, new theoretical and computational models of partially ionized plasma transport, which include line radiation interactions, are developed and then applied to the study of plasma phenomena at the tokamak edge. First, to include the effects of an external magnetic field on nonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) mlodels, TotalB, a computationally efficient spectral line shape code that describes the broadening of radiative transitions due to an applied magnetic field, the ion microfield, and electron perturbers, is developed using standard line broadening theory. Second, to enable the study of plasma transport and line radiation interactions, PIP, a partially ionized plasma transport model that includes the charge-exchange coupling of ions with neutral atoms, the transport of potential energy, the effects of resonance line radiation interactions on atomic rates, and the transport of an arbitrary number of atomic levels, is developed and coupled with an existing NLTE radiation transport model. Finally, the combined capabilities model is applied to the simulation of a tokamak divertor and the significant effect of line radiation interactions on plasma transport at the tokamak edge is demonstrated. In addition, since the solution of the radiation field is an integral part of the calculation, several spectroscopic diagnostic techniques are developed.

Book Description
Plasmas at the tokamak edge can be very optically thick to hydrogen resonance lines. The resulting strong line radiation can significantly affect the ionization and energy balance in these plasmas. One method of account for effects is to self-consistently couple a partially ionized plasma transport model with a nonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) model incorporating line radiation transfer. This approach has been implemented in one dimension, but would be computationally challenging and expensive to implement in multiple dimensions. Approximate treatments of radiation transfer can decrease the computational time, but would still require coupling to a multidimensional plasma transport model to address realistic geometries, e.g. the tokamak divertor. Here, we consider the development of atomic hydrogen data tables that include radiation interactions and can be easily applied to multidimensional geometries.

Book Description
Energy from nuclear fusion of Hydrogen isotopes is a possible alternative to fossil fuels. For this to be of practical utility, confinement of Hydrogen in a plasma state for a minimum duration is necessary. Since confinement is strongly affected by radial transport processes, understanding the observed modes of radial transport in confined plasma is of vital importance for progress towards fusion energy. The present dissertation is aimed at studying radial (cross-field) transport in the tokamak edge plasma. The present thesis is divided into three parts : In the first part, we present a model of generation of intermittent convective meso-scale structures (blobs) based on the synergy of the interchange drive and nonlinear effects associated with drift-wave turbulence. In the second part, we attempt to explain the preferential propagation of blobs radially outward as a consequence of the radially decreasing density of a confined plasma. In the third part, we present a model for simulating anomalous radial transport in kinetic codes for tokamak edge plasma.

Book Description
This book reviews the current state of understanding concerning edge plasma, which bridges hot fusion plasma, with a temperature of roughly one million degrees Kelvin with plasma-facing materials, which have melting points of only a few thousand degrees Kelvin. In a fact, edge plasma is one of the keys to solution for harnessing fusion energy in magnetic fusion devices. The physics governing the processes at work in the edge plasma involves classical and anomalous transport of multispecies plasma, neutral gas dynamics, atomic physics effects, radiation transport, plasma-material interactions, and even the transport of plasma species within the plasma-facing materials. The book starts with simple physical models, then moves on to rigorous theoretical considerations and state-of-the-art simulation tools that are capable of capturing the most important features of the edge plasma phenomena. The authors compare the conclusions arising from the theoretical and computational analysis with the available experimental data. They also discuss the remaining gaps in their models and make projections for phenomena related to edge plasma in magnetic fusion reactors.

Book Description
The edge plasma plays key roles in tokamak devices: generates the edge transport-barrier yielding the L-H core confinement transition, distributes the core charged-particle energy to surrounding material surfaces, shields the core from impurities, and removes helium ash in fusion plasmas. The transport of density, momentum, and energy in the near-separatrix edge region, and the corresponding self-consistent electrostatic potential, require a two-dimensional description, here incorporated into the UEDGE code. In the direction across the B-field, both turbulent transport and classical cross-field flows are important. The role of classical flows is analyzed in detail in the presence of an assumed diffusive turbulent transport. Results and explanations are given for the generation of radial electric field near the separatrix, edge plasma asymmetries and differences between double-null DIII-D and NSTX devices, comparisons with DIII-D diagnostics for single-null divertor, and core/edge transport coupling.

Book Description
The progress that has been made during this fiscal year is significant in the area of tokamak edge plasma transport. Important contributions on the extension of the drift-rippling mode model ([approximately] [tau], [approximately]n, [approximately]T, [approximately][nu][sub [parallel]]) of edge turbulent transport. In particular, the research areas on which we have concentrated include the following topics: (1) The theoretical investigation of the radiatively enhanced transport due to the effects of impurity driven radiation instabilities has been expanded to include a situation with multiple impurities (such as carbon, C[sup 4+], and oxygen, O[sup 6+]); (2) In order to validate the use of the impurity radiation input from the tokamak bolometer experiments in our theoretical edge turbulent transport calculations, the analysis that is utilized to transform impurity brightness data to radiated power profiles has been checked for state population and Abel inversion correctness; (3) The drift-rippling model of edge turbulent transport has been extended to include ionization particle sources in addition to the impurity driven thermal instability drive; and (4) The detailed limiter and realistic edge geometric effects on the edge turbulent transport has been included in the drift-rippling model.
