Advances in understanding of high- Z material erosion and re-deposition in low-Z wall environment in DIII-D

Journal Article Ding, R. ; Rudakov, D. L. ; Stangeby, P. C. ; ... - Nuclear Fusion

Dedicated DIII-D experiments coupled with modeling reveal that the net erosion rate of high-Z materials, i.e. Mo and W, is strongly affected by carbon concentration in the plasma and the magnetic pre-sheath properties. Different methods such as electrical biasing and local gas injection have been investigated to control high-Z material erosion. The net erosion rate of high-Z materials is significantly reduced due to the high local re-deposition ratio. The ERO modeling shows that the local re-deposition ratio is mainly controlled by the electric field and plasma density within the magnetic pre-sheath. The net erosion can be significantly suppressed by reducingmore »« less

Simulation of gross and net erosion of high-Z materials in the DIII-D divertor

Journal Article Wampler, William R. ; Ding, R. ; Stangeby, P. C. ; ... - Nuclear Fusion

The three-dimensional Monte Carlo code ERO has been used to simulate dedicated DIII-D experiments in which Mo and W samples with different sizes were exposed to controlled and well-diagnosed divertor plasma conditions to measure the gross and net erosion rates. Experimentally, the net erosion rate is significantly reduced due to the high local redeposition probability of eroded high-Z materials, which according to the modelling is mainly controlled by the electric field and plasma density within the Chodura sheath. Similar redeposition ratios were obtained from ERO modelling with three different sheath models for small angles between the magnetic field and themore »« less

Reduced model of high-Z impurity redeposition and erosion in tokamak divertor and its application to DIII-D experiments

Journal Article Guterl, J. ; Wampler, W. R. ; Rudakov, D. ; ... - Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion

A reduced model of high-Z impurities erosion and redeposition is presented to analyze net erosion of tungsten material in divertor attached plasma conditions measured in DIII-D experiments. This reduced model is tailored to quantify the redeposition and the net erosion on high-Z material samples of sufficiently small dimensions to be considered exposed to uniform plasma conditions. For those uniform plasma conditions, the spatial distribution of redeposited high-Z impurities is well approximated by an analytical distribution characterized by a few parameters. The fraction of high-Z impurity eroding and redepositing on a material sample is then obtained by integrating this distribution acrossmore »« less

OEDGE modeling for the planned tungsten ring experiment on DIII-D

Journal Article Elder, J. D. ; Stangeby, P. C. ; Abrams, T. ; ... - Nuclear Materials and Energy

The OEDGE code is used to model tungsten erosion and transport for DIII-D experiments with toroidal rings of high-Z metal tiles. Such modeling is needed for both experimental and diagnostic design to have estimates of the expected core and edge tungsten density and to understand the various factors contributing to the uncertainties in these calculations. OEDGE simulations are performed using the planned experimental magnetic geometries and plasma conditions typical of both L-mode and inter-ELM H-mode discharges in DIII-D. OEDGE plasma reconstruction based on specific representative discharges for similar geometries is used to determine the plasma conditions applied to tungsten plasmamore »« less
