Plasma-surface interactions in magnetic-fusion systems. Annual report, FY81

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6154674
The general scope of the work has been to develop our understanding of the plasma boundary and plasma-wall interactions through theory and computer modelling research on plasma edge physics, on the role of electric potentials at boundaries, on neutral-gas recycle including atomic and surface-physics processes, on neutral-atom transport in plasmas, on neutral atom flows in ducts connected to components such as pump limiters or divertors, and on techniques to modify plasma particle and heat flows in the edge in order to make the particle and heat fluxes to components more manageable. We have also investigated the possibility of simulating in a benchtop experiment some key physics and engineering issues.
