SOLPS-ITER simulation of an X-point radiator in TCV
G. Sun, O. Pan, M. Bernert +7
SOLPS-ITER simulation is performed to reproduce the X-point radiator recently observed in nitrogen-seeded TCV experiments, which is a scenario that may be favorable to solve the po…
Performance assessment of a tightly baffled, long-legged divertor configuration in TCV with SOLPS-ITER
G. Sun, H. Reimerdes, C. Theiler +5
Numerical simulations explore the possibility to test the tightly baffled, long-legged divertor (TBLLD) concept in a future upgrade of the Tokamak à configuration variable (TCV). T…
Investigating the impact of the molecular charge-exchange rate on detached SOLPS-ITER simulations
Kevin Verhaegh, Aelwyn C Williams, David Moulton +7
Plasma-molecular interactions generate molecular ions which react with the plasma and contribute to detachment through molecular activated recombination (MAR), reducing the ion tar…
Power exhaust and core-divertor compatibility of the baffled snowflake divertor in TCV
Sophie Gorno, Claudia Colandrea, Olivier Février +8
A baffled Snowflake Minus Low-Field Side (SF-LFS) is geometrically-optimised in TCV, increasing divertor neutral pressure, to evaluate the roles of divertor closure (comparing with…
New insights on divertor parallel flows, ExB drifts, and fluctuations from in situ, two-dimensional probe measurement in the Tokamak à Configuration Variable
H. De Oliveira, C. Theiler, O. Février +6
In-situ, two-dimensional (2D) Langmuir probe measurements across a large part of the TCV divertor are reported in L-mode discharges with and without divertor baffles. This provides…
Validation of edge turbulence codes against the TCV-X21 diverted L-mode reference case
D. S. Oliveira, T. Body, D. Galassi +27
Self-consistent full-size turbulent-transport simulations of the divertor and SOL of existing tokamaks have recently become feasible. This enables the direct comparison of turbulen…
Theory-based scaling laws of near and far scrape-off layer widths in single-null L-mode discharges
M. Giacomin, A. Stagni, P. Ricci +4
Theory-based scaling laws of the near and far scrape-off layer (SOL) widths are analytically derived for L-mode diverted tokamak discharges by using a two-fluid model. The near SOL…
An improved understanding of the roles of atomic processes and power balance in divertor target ion current loss during detachment
Kevin Verhaegh, Bruce Lipschultz, Basil Duval +16
The process of divertor detachment, whereby heat and particle fluxes to divertor surfaces are strongly diminished, is required to reduce heat loading and erosion in a magnetic fusi…
