ELM-free and inter-ELM divertor heat flux broadening induced by Edge Harmonics Oscillation in NSTX

Dataset Gan, K ; Ahn, J -W ; Gray, T K ; ...

A new n=1 dominated Edge Harmonic Oscillation (EHO) has been found in NSTX. The new EHO, rotating toroidally in the counter-current direction and the opposite direction of the neutral beam, was observed during certain inter-ELM and ELM-free periods of H-mode operation. This EHO is associated with a significant broadening of the integral heat flux width (?_int) by up to 150%, and a decrease in the divertor peak heat flux by >60%. An EHO induced filament was also observed by the gas puff imaging diagnostic. The toroidal rotating filaments could change the edge magnetic topology resulting in toroidal rotating strike pointmore »« less
Impact of edge harmonic oscillations on the divertor heat flux in NSTX

Journal Article Gan, K. F. ; Gray, T. K. ; Zweben, S. J. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Previously, ELM-free and inter-ELM divertor peak heat flux reduction induced by an edge harmonic oscillation (EHO) was observed in NSTX (K.F. Gan et al., 2017 Nucl. Fusion 57 126053). This paper introduces new analysis of the EHO impact on the divertor heat flux. It was found that enhanced edge turbulence significantly altered the divertor heat flux footprint in NSTX H-modes, relative to ELM-free discharges. When the background edge fluctuation level was low, the EHO significantly increased the heat flux width and decreased the divertor peak heat flux. When the background edge fluctuation level was high, the EHO actually increased themore »« less
