Predictive power-sharing scaling law in double-null L-mode plasmas
K. Lim, P. Ricci, L. Stenger +5
The physical mechanisms regulating the power sharing at the outer targets of L-mode double-null (DN) configurations are investigated using nonlinear, flux-driven, three-dimensional…

SPLEND1D, a reduced one-dimensional model to investigate the physics of plasma detachment
O. Février, S. Gorno, C. Theiler +3
Studying the process of divertor detachment and the associated complex interplay of plasma dynamics and atomic physics processes is of utmost importance for future fusion reactors.…

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…
