Design and physics basis for the upcoming DIII-D SAS-VW campaign to quantify tungsten leakage and transport in a new slot divertor geometry
Abstract
A set of experiments are planned to exploit the high SOL collisionality enabled by a tightly baffled slot divertor geometry to suppress tungsten leakage in DIII-D. A toroidal row of graphite tiles from the Small Angle Slot (SAS) divertor is being coated with 10–15 μm of tungsten. New spectroscopic viewing chords with in-vacuo optics will measure the W gross erosion source from the divertor surface with high spatial and temporal resolution. In parallel, the bottom of the SAS divertor is changed from a flat to a ‘V’ shape. New SOLPS-ITER/DIVIMP simulations conducted with drifts using the planned ‘V’ shape predict a substantial reduction in W sourcing and SOL accumulation in either B × ∇B direction relative to either the old SAS divertor shape or the open, lower divertor. Dedicated studies are planned to carefully characterize the level of W sourcing, leakage, and scrape-off-layer (SOL) accumulation in DIII-D over a wide range of plasma scenarios. Various actuators will be assessed for their efficacy in further reducing high-Z impurity sources and leakage from the slot divertor geometry. Finally, this coupled code-experiment validation effort will be used to stress-test physics models and build confidence in extrapolations to advanced, high-Z divertor geometries for next-stepmore »
