Models of SOL transport and their relation to scaling of the divertor heat flux width in DIII-D

Journal Article Makowski, M. A. ; Lasnier, C. J. ; Leonard, A. W. ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

Strong support for the critical pressure gradient model for the heat flux width has been obtained, in that the measured separatrix pressure gradient lies below and scales similarly to the pressure gradient limit obtained from the ideal, infinite-n stability codes, BALOO and 2DX, in all cases that have been examined. Predictions of a heuristic drift model for the heat flux width are also in qualitative agreement with the measurements. We obtained these results by using an improved high rep-rate and higher edge spatial resolution Thomson scattering system on DIII-D to measure the upstream electron temperature and density profiles.

A multi-machine scaling of halo current rotation

Journal Article Myers, C. E. ; Eidietis, N. W. ; Gerasimov, S. N. ; ... - Nuclear Fusion

Halo currents generated during unmitigated tokamak disruptions are known to develop rotating asymmetric features that are of great concern to ITER because they can dynamically amplify the mechanical stresses on the machine. This paper presents a multi-machine analysis of these phenomena. More specifically, data from C-Mod, NSTX, ASDEX Upgrade, DIII-D, and JET are used to develop empirical scalings of three key quantities: the machine-specific minimum current quench time,more »« less

Multi-scale transport in the DIII-D ITER baseline scenario with direct electron heating and projection to ITER

Journal Article Grierson, B. A. ; Staebler, G. M. ; Solomon, W. M. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Multi-scale fluctuations measured by turbulence diagnostics spanning long and short wavelength spatial scales impact energy confinement and the scale-lengths of plasma kinetic profiles in the DIII-D ITER baseline scenario with direct electron heating. Contrasting discharge phases with ECH + neutral beam injection (NBI) and NBI only at similar rotation reveal higher energy confinement and lower fluctuations when only NBI heating is used. Modeling of the core transport with TGYRO using the TGLF turbulent transport model and NEO neoclassical transport reproduces the experimental profile changes upon application of direct electron heating and indicates that multi-scale transport mechanisms are responsible for changesmore »« less

Impact of a narrow limiter SOL heat flux channel on the ITER first wall panel shaping

Journal Article Kocan, M. ; Pitts, R. A. ; Arnoux, G. ; ... - Nuclear Fusion

We report the inboard limiters for ITER were initially designed on the assumption that the parallel heat flux density in the scrape-off layer (SOL) could be approximated by a single exponential with decay length λ_q. This assumption was found not to be adequate in 2012, when infra-red (IR) thermography measurements on the inner column during JET limiter discharges clearly revealed the presence of a narrow heat flux channel adjacent to the last closed flux surface. This near-SOL decay occurs with λ_q ~ few mm, much shorter than the main SOL λ_q, and can raise the heat flux at the limitermore »« less
