On the relation between non-exponential Scrape Off Layer profiles and the dynamics of filaments
F. Militello, J. T. Omotani
A theoretical framework is developed to clarify the relation between the profiles of density and temperature in the Scrape Off Layer (SOL) with the fluctuations (filaments) that ge…
Characterisation of the L-mode Scrape Off Layer in MAST: decay lengths
F. Militello, L. Garzotti, J. Harrison +7
This work presents a detailed characterisation of the MAST Scrape Off Layer in L-mode. Scans in line averaged density, plasma current and toroidal magnetic field were performed. A…
The effects of shape and amplitude on the velocity of scrape-off layer filaments
J. T. Omotani, F. Militello, L. Easy +1
A complete model of the dynamics of scrape-off layer filaments will be rather complex, including temperature evolution, three dimensional geometry and finite Larmor radius effects.…
The deceiving delta: on the equilibrium dependent dynamics of nonlinear magnetic islands
F. Militello, D. Grasso, D. Borgogno
The linear stability parameter delta is commonly used as a figure of merit for the nonlinear dynamics of the tearing mode. It is shown, through state of the art numerical simulatio…
Finite system size effects on Drift Wave stability
F. Militello, M. Ottaviani, A. Wynn
Unstable electrostatic resistive modes, driven by density gradients, are identified in a bounded sheared slab. The boundary conditions play a crucial role and are shown to change t…
