Scrape-off layer plasma and neutral characteristics and their interactions with walls for FNSF

Journal Article Rognlien, T. D. ; Rensink, M. E. ; Stotler, D. P. - Fusion Engineering and Design

Simulations of the heat flux on plasma facing components from exhausting core plasma are reported for two possible Fusion Nuclear Science Facility (FNSF) divertor configurations. One configuration utilizes divertor plates strongly inclined with respect to the poloidal magnetic flux surfaces like that planned for ITER and results in a partially detached divertor-plasma. The second configuration has divertor plates orthogonal to the flux surfaces, which leads to a fully detached divertor-plasma if the width of the divertor region is sufficient. Both configurations use scrape-off layer impurity seeding to yield an acceptable peak heat flux of ~10 MW/m ² or smaller onmore »« less

Plasma Interactions with Mixed Materials and Impurity Transport

Technical Report Rognlien, T. D. ; Beiersdorfer, Peter ; Chernov, A. ; ...

The project brings together three discipline areas at LLNL to develop advanced capability to predict the impact of plasma/material interactions (PMI) on metallic surfaces in magnetic fusion energy (MFE) devices. These areas are (1) modeling transport of wall impurity ions through the edge plasma to the core plasma, (2) construction of a laser blow-off (LBO) system for injecting precise amounts of metallic atoms into a tokamak plasma, and (3) material science analysis of fundamental processes that modify metallic surfaces during plasma bombardment. The focus is on tungsten (W), which is being used for the ITER divertor and in designs ofmore »« less

2D imaging of helium ion velocity in the DIII-D divertor

Journal Article Samuell, C. M. ; Porter, G. D. ; Meyer, W. H. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Two-dimensional imaging of parallel ion velocities are compared to fluid modeling simulations to understand the role of ions in determining divertor conditions and benchmark the UEDGE fluid modeling code. Pure helium discharges are used so that spectroscopic He+measurements represent the main-ion population at small electron temperatures. Electron temperatures and densities in the divertor match simulated values to within about 20-30% establishing the experiment/model match as being at least as good as those normally obtained in the more regularly simulated deuterium plasmas. He ⁺ brightness (HeII) comparison indicates that the degree of detachment is captured well by UEDGE, principally due tomore »« less

Attainment of a stable, fully detached plasma state in innovative divertor configurations

Journal Article Umansky, M. V. ; LaBombard, B. ; Brunner, D. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

A computational study of long-legged tokamak divertor configurations is performed with the edge transport code UEDGE. Several divertor configurations are considered, with radially or vertically extended, tightly baffled, outer divertor legs and with or without a secondary X-point in the divertor leg volume. For otherwise identical conditions, a scan of the input power from the core plasma is performed. As the power is reduced to a threshold value, the plasma in the outer leg transitions to a fully detached state, which defines the upper limit on the power for detached divertor operation. Reducing the power further results in the detachmentmore »« less
