Intermittent fluctuations in the TCV scrape-off layer
Probe measurements in the scrape-off layer of tokamak plasmas show that the ion saturation current signal is dominated by large amplitude bursts. Analysis of data time series from tokamak á configuration variable of unprecedented duration reveals that both burst amplitudes and waiting times are exponentially distributed. The average burst wave form has an exponential shape with a characteristic...
متن کاملScrape-Off Layer physics in limited plasmas in TCV
Controlled nuclear fusion is the most promising candidate for being an inexhaustible, clean and intrinsically safe energy source. Research in the last 60 years has focused on the fusion reactor concept called tokamak, in which a high temperature plasma is confined using magnetic fields, producing fusion reactions. Because of turbulence, the confined plasma diffuses to the outermost region of th...
متن کاملConvective transport in the scrape-off layer of tokamaks
A detailed study of blob formation, dynamics, and the associated convective transport in the scrape-off layer sSOLd of tokamak plasmas is presented. Dissipation level in the system, in addition to the blob size, is shown to play an important role in determining whether a blob propagates as a coherent object. Nonlinear SOL interchange/ballooning modes are shown to be capable of creating blobs ne...
متن کاملTurbulent regimes in the tokamak Scrape-Off layer
◮ We study Scrape-Off Layer (SOL) turbulence through simulations that evolve the plasma dynamics as the interplay of plasma source from the core, perpendicular transport, and losses at the limiter plates ◮ We identify the SOL turbulence regimes, defining the regions of existence of the Ballooning Modes [resistive (RBM) and inertial (IBM)] and the Drift Waves [resistive (RDW) and inertial (IDW)]...
متن کاملModeling of supersonic plasma flow in the scrape-off layer
The substantial drop of the plasma temperature along magnetic field lines with increasing plasma density is one of the main features in tokamak divertors. As a result the temperature gradient at the divertor plates becomes very steep and the boundary condition normally applied for the parallel Mach number M at the target, Mt = 1, cannot be satisfied. In this case the value of Mt based on the ge...
