摘要

在 DIII-D 中使用 V 形封闭槽钨 (W) 涂层 SAS-VW 分流器进行的实验研究了 BT 方向对封闭槽分流器配置侵蚀钨的堆芯污染的影响。通过软 X 射线断层扫描（SXR）和真空紫外光谱（SPRED）推断出堆芯中的钨含量，而通过槽内滤波器（滤波光电倍增管）测量的钨发射可见光谱（400.9 纳米）推断出钨分流器的侵蚀情况。活动结束后的分析发现，瓦片错位导致前缘在不利的 BT 方向（离子 B→×∇B→ 漂离偏转器）出现明显的侵蚀，而诊断仪很可能无法捕捉到这种侵蚀。然而，经验研究结果表明，即使不考虑来自前缘的额外 W 侵蚀，在有利的 BT 方向上，堆芯污染也会增加 2-3 倍。为了估算前缘侵蚀的影响，并比较 BT 方向相反的两对 H 模式放电的 W 污染情况，得出了一个 "源到堆芯效率系数"。虽然绝对参数不同，但相似的堆芯杂质密度梯度表明堆芯杂质传输具有可比性。这些结果表明，对于来自外侧分流器区域的 W 杂质来说，有利的 BT 可能具有更强的源到堆芯的路径。可能的解释包括 E→×B→ 漂移对 W 在刮离层（SOL）中的传输的影响，以及先前确定的在有利 BT 中快速 SOL 内靶定向流的影响。

Investigating the effect of BT direction on W source-to-core pathways during the SAS-VW campaign on DIII-D

Experiments using the V-shaped closed slot tungsten (W) coated SAS-VW divertor in DIII-D studied the effects of the B_T direction on core contamination of eroded tungsten from a closed slot divertor configuration. Core W content is inferred using soft-X ray tomography (SXR) and vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy (SPRED), while W divertor erosion is inferred from visible spectroscopy of W emission (400.9 nm) measured by in-slot filterscopes (filtered photo-multipliers). Post-mortem analysis from the campaign discovered tile misalignment leading to suspected pronounced leading-edge erosion in the unfavorable B_T direction (ion

\vec{B} \times \nabla \vec{B}

drift away from divertor) likely not captured by diagnostics. However, empirical findings show up to ∼ 2-3x larger core contamination in the favorable B_T direction even considering no additional W erosion from leading edges. A “source-to-core efficiency factor” is derived to estimate the effects of leading-edge erosion and compare W contamination for two pairs of H-mode discharges in opposite B_T directions. While having differing absolute parameters, similar core impurity density gradients suggest comparable core impurity transport. These results show that favorable B_T may have stronger source-to-core pathways for W impurities sourced from the outer divertor region. Possible explanations could include the effects of

drifts on W transport in the scrape-off-layer (SOL) as well as previously determined fast SOL inner target directed flows in favorable B_T.
