Modelling the effect of divertor closure on detachment onset in DIII-D with the SOLPS code

Journal Article Casali, L. ; Sang, C. ; Moser, A. L. ; ... - Contributions to Plasma Physics

SOLPS modelling has shown that divertor plasma detachment occurs at a lower upstream separatrix density in the more closed DIII‐D upper divertor than the open lower divertor, demonstrating the utility of the divertor closure in widening the range of acceptable densities for adequate heat handling. To achieve reduced heat flux and erosion at the plasma‐facing components, future devices will need to operate in at least partially detached divertor conditions . Two‐dimensional fluid plasma models coupled to Monte Carlo neutral transport simulations, such as SOLPS, have been widely used to predict the onset of detachment. In modelling the DIII‐D discharges, themore »« less

SOLPS modeling of the effect on plasma detachment of closing the lower divertor in DIII-D

Journal Article Sang, C. F. ; Stangeby, P. C. ; Guo, H. Y. ; ... - Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion

SOLPS modeling has been carried out to assess the effect of tightly closing the lower divertor in DIII-D, which at present is almost fully open, on the achievement of cold dissipative/detached divertor conditions. To isolate the impact of other factors on the divertor plasma solution and to make direct comparisons, most of the parameters including the meshes were kept as similar as possible. Only the neutral baffling was modified to compare a fully open divertor with a tightly closed one. The modeling shows that the tightly closed divertor greatly improves trapping of recycling neutrals, thereby increasing radiative and charge exchangemore »« less

Modeling of combined effects of divertor closure and advanced magnetic configuration on detachment in DIII-D by SOLPS

Journal Article Si, Hang ; Guo, Houyang Y. ; Covele, Brent ; ... - Nuclear Fusion

One of the major challenges facing the design and operation of next-step high-power steady-state fusion devices is to develop a divertor solution for handling power exhaust, while ensuring acceptable divertor target plate erosion, which necessitates access to divertor detachment at relative low main plasma densities compatible with current drive and high plasma confinement. Detailed modeling with SOLPS is carried out to examine the effect of divertor closure on detachment with the normal single null divertor (SD) configuration, as well as one of the advanced divertor configurations, such as x-divertor (XD) respectively. The SOLPS modeling for a high confinement plasma in DIII-D finds that increasing divertor closure with SD reduces the upstream separatrix density at the onset of detachment frommore »« less

An analysis of controlled detachment by seeding various impurity species in high performance scenarios on DIII-D and EAST

Journal Article Eldon, D. ; Wang, H. Q. ; Wang, L. ; ... - Nuclear Materials and Energy

Experiments at DIII-D and EAST have demonstrated simultaneous high confinement, divertor detachment, and active control of detachment level, all of which are required for ITER. Comparing detachment control via T_e and J_sat, it appears that is the most straightforward sensor to use for accessing detachment onset, while J_sat offers more precise control of degree of detachment. Based on these results, control using nitrogen seeding has so far shown the best ability to follow a target value with the low disruptivity and little to no degradation of performance when an Internal Transport Barrier (ITB) is present, but not all facilities allowmore »« less
