Abstract
Formation of a high-field-side high-density (HFSHD) regime and the role of the high-field-side (HFS) poloidal electric field in the scrape-off layer of the spherical tokamak Globus-M2 are analyzed using SOLPS-ITER edge plasma simulations. The dependence of the HFS poloidal electric field sign and, consequently, radial drift fluxes on the discharge density is discussed. It is demonstrated that the HFS poloidal electric field is the key element in the formation of a HFSHD regime in the Globus-M2 tokamak as in ASDEX Upgrade. It is demonstrated that the physics of HFSHD formation in a small spherical tokamak is similar to that suggested by Kaveeva et al (2009 36th EPS Conf. on Plasma Physics) and is in line with experimental observations and modeling, performed later on ASDEX Upgrade.
期刊介绍:
Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion covers all aspects of the physics of hot, highly ionised plasmas. This includes results of current experimental and theoretical research on all aspects of the physics of high-temperature plasmas and of controlled nuclear fusion, including the basic phenomena in highly-ionised gases in the laboratory, in the ionosphere and in space, in magnetic-confinement and inertial-confinement fusion as well as related diagnostic methods.
Papers with a technological emphasis, for example in such topics as plasma control, fusion technology and diagnostics, are welcomed when the plasma physics is an integral part of the paper or when the technology is unique to plasma applications or new to the field of plasma physics. Papers on dusty plasma physics are welcome when there is a clear relevance to fusion.
