Correlation between the relative blob fraction and plasma parameters in NSTX

Journal Article Zweben, S. J. ; Banerjee, S. ; Bisai, N. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Here, we present a simple analysis of the fraction of blobs observed in the scrape-off layer of NSTX and calculates the correlation between this blob fraction and various plasma parameters. The measurements were made using the gas puff imaging (GPI) diagnostic on a database of 103 shots from 2010 with neutral beam power P_NBI = 0–6 MW. The blob fraction ranged from f_b = 0.1% to 4.8%, where f_b is defined as the fraction of time the GPI signal was larger than three times its average value within 0–7.5 cm outside the separatrix. The blob fraction generally decreased with increasingmore »« less

MHD-blob correlations in NSTX

Dataset SJ, Zweben ; ED, Fredrickson ; Myra, JR ; ...

This paper describes a study of the cross-correlations between edge fluctuations as seen in the gas puff imaging (GPI) diagnostic and low frequency coherent magnetic fluctuations (MHD) in H-mode plasmas in NSTX. The main new result was that large blobs in the SOL were significantly correlated with MHD activity the 3-6 kHz range in 21 of the 223 shots examined. There were also many other shots in which fluctuations in the GPI signal level and its peak radius Rpeak were correlated with MHD activity, but without any significant correlation of the MHD with large blobs.

Blob wakes in NSTX

Dataset

Transient small-scale structures were identified in the wake of blobs movingpoloidally through the SOL of high-powered H-mode plasmas in NSTX, using the gaspuff imaging (GPI) diagnostic. These blob wakes had a poloidal wavelength in therange 3.5 cm, which is significantly smaller than the average blob scale of~12 cm, and the wakes had a poloidal velocity of 1.5 km/sec in theelectron diamagnetic direction, which is opposite to the blob poloidal velocity inthese shots. These wakes were radially localized 0-4 cm outside the separatrix andoccurred within ~50 microsec after the passage of a blob through the GPI field of view.The clearest wakesmore »« less
