Abstract Edge fluid–plasma/kinetic–neutral modeling of well-diagnosed DIII-D experiments is performed in order to document in detail how well certain aspects of experimental measurements are…
Interpretations of the impact of cross-field drifts on divertor flows in DIII-D with UEDGE
- A. JaervinenS. Allen G. Porter
- 1 August 2017
Physics
Abstract Simulations using the multi-fluid code UEDGE indicates that, in low confinement (L-mode) plasmas in DIII-D, poloidal projection of the ionization driven flows dominate poloidal particle…
