Impact of Plasma Shaping on Electron Heat Transport in TCV L-mode Plasmas at Various Collisionalities
The impact of plasma shaping on electron heat transport is investigated in TCV L-mode plasmas. The study is motivated by the observation of an increase of the energy confinement time with decreasing plasma triangularity that may not be explained by a change in the temperature gradient induced by changes in the geometry of the flux surfaces. The plasma triangularity is varied over a wide range, ...
متن کاملHeat loads in inboard limited L-mode plasmas in TCV
Infrared thermography is used in TCV to measure the heat flux deposited onto the graphite tiles of the inner wall. The heat flux radial profile is found to be well described by the sum of a main parallel component and a non negligible cross-field component. The latter accounts for about 20% of the deposited heat flux. The parallel component shows an enhancement around the contact point in all d...
متن کاملCollisionality dependent transport in TCV SOL plasmas
Results are presented from probe measurements at the outboard midplane scrapeoff layer region of TCV current scan experiments. It is shown that with decreasing plasma current, or increasing magnetic connection length, the radial particle density profile becomes broader and the fluctuation levels and turbulence driven radial transport increases. In the far scrape-off layer the fluctuations exhib...
متن کاملNon-local heat transport in Alcator C-Mod ohmic L-mode plasmas
Non-local heat transport experiments were performed in Alcator C-Mod Ohmic L-mode plasmas by inducing edge cooling with laser blow-off impurity (CaF2) injection. The non-local effect, a cooling of the edge electron temperature with a rapid rise of the central electron temperature, which contradicts the assumption of “local” transport, was observed in low collisionality linear Ohmic confinement ...
متن کاملAdvanced simulation of electron heat transport in fusion plasmas
Electron transport in burning plasmas is more important since fusion products first heat electrons. First-principles simulations of electron turbulence are much more challenging due to the multi-scale dynamics of the electron turbulence, and have been made possible by close collaborations between plasma physicists and computational scientists. The GTC simulations of collisionless trapped electr...
