SOL-KiT -- fully implicit code for kinetic simulation of parallel electron transport in the tokamak Scrape-Off Layer
Stefan Mijin, Abetharan Antony, Fulvio Militello +1
Here we present a new code for modelling electron kinetics in the tokamak Scrape-Off Layer (SOL). SOL-KiT (Scrape-Off Layer Kinetic Transport) is a fully implicit 1D code with kine…
Dependence on ion temperature of shallow-angle magnetic presheaths with adiabatic electrons
Alessandro Geraldini, Felix I Parra, Fulvio Militello
The magnetic presheath is a boundary layer occurring when magnetized plasma is in contact with a wall and the angle between the wall and the magnetic field is oblique…
Stability of scrape-off layer plasma: a modified Rayleigh-Benard problem
Fryderyk Wilczynski, David W. Hughes, Sven Van Loo +2
We present a linear stability analysis of a two-dimensional fluid model used to study the plasma dynamics in the scrape-off layer of tokamaks. The model equations are based on the…
Influence of plasma background on 3D scrape-off layer filaments
David Schwörer, Nicholas R Walkden, Huw Leggate +4
This paper presents the effect of self-consistent plasma backgrounds including plasma-neutral interactions, on the dynamics of filament propagation. The principle focus is on the i…
Quiescence near the X-point of MAST measured by high speed visible imaging
N. R. Walkden, J. Harrison, S. A. Silburn +5
Using high speed imaging of the divertor volume, the region close to the X-point in MAST is shown to be quiescent. This is confirmed by three different analysis techniques and the…
Effect of current corrugations on the stability of the tearing mode
F. Militello, M. Romanelli, R. J. Hastie +1
The generation of zonal magnetic fields in laboratory fusion plasmas is predicted by theoretical and numerical models and was recently observed experimentally. It is shown that the…
