Divertor Similarity Database Parameters

چکیده
A set of experimentally-determined dimensionless parameters is proposed for characterizing the regime of divertor operation. The objective is to be able to compare as unambiguously as possible the operation of different divertors and to understand what physical similarities and differences they represent. Examples from Alcator C-Mod are given.

Confinement and divertor studies in Alcator C - Mod
Early results from the Alcator C-Mod tokamak indicate that ohmic energy confinement does not obey the Neo-Alcator scaling. Instead 'Ohmic L-mode' confinement, close to ITER89-P, is obtained, which substantially exceeds Neo-Alcator under some circumstances. ICRF-heated plasmas follow the same scaling. H-modes are observed both in ohmic and ICRF heated plasmas, with confinement enhancements of ab...
متن کاملUWFDM-1077 Three-Dimensional Neutronics Analysis for the ITER Divertor Cassette Design Options
Three-dimensional neutronics calculations have been performed for the ITER divertor cassette design options to determine the nuclear parameters in the cassettes and assess the impact of streaming on vacuum vessel and toroidal field (TF) coil damage. The local nuclear parameters in the components of the reference cassette design are similar or lower than those in the cassette design option with ...
متن کاملDamage to nearby divertor components of ITER-like devices during giant ELMs and disruptions
During normal operation of the high confinement mode in future ITER devices, edge-localized modes (ELMs) are a potential threat to the divertor components lifetime and plasma contamination. To predict the outcome of the direct ELM plasma impact on the divertor plate, conversion of plasma energy into radiation in the shielding layer, and then the resulting energy deposition of radiation flux to ...
متن کاملComprehensive modeling of ELMs and their effect on plasma-facing surfaces during normal tokamak operation
During the normal operation of the high confinement regime (H-mode) in next generation tokamaks, edge-localized modes (ELMs) are a serious concern for divertor plasma-facing components. The periodic relaxation of edge pressure gradient results in pulses of energy and particles transported across the Separatrix to the scrape-off-layer (SOL) and eventually to the divertor surface. ELMs could, the...
متن کاملICRF and Enhanced Confinement Modes in Alcator C-Mod
Introduction Understanding divertor detachment is essential to predicting the operation of future diverted tokamaks. The current plan for ITER operation assumes that the plasma is detached from the divertor, that f e be near the Greenwald limit [1] and that the main plasma is not diluted by impurities. However, we do not know whether these conditions can be achieved simultaneously. In this set ...
