Observation of electric currents in diverted tokamak scrape-off layers

M.J. Schaffer, B.J. Leikind1991年被引用 36Nuclear FusionIF 3出版社

A prototype tile current array, consisting of resistors to sense current flowing from six divertor tiles into the metallic vacuum vessel, was installed in DIII-D. Data show that typically 1-2 kA circulates poloidally around the single-null divertor scrapeoff layer (SOL). A current of similar magnitude flows vertically in the outer SOL of double-null plasmas and a much smaller current in the inner SOL. Little or no current flows across the short SOL connecting the inner and outer divertor strike points. The SOL current increases with core plasma current and edge localized modes (ELMs); it decreases at the onset of the H-mode and with heavy gas puffing. The SOL current jumps rapidly to 5-10 kA during giant ELM events. Three possible mechanisms to drive the SOL current are examined qualitatively with respect to the data, but the evidence is insufficient to identify the dominant one. During disruptions, poloidal current in excess of 100 kA flows to the wall.

DIII-Dに設置された、6枚のダイバータタイルから金属真空容器へ流れる電流を検出する抵抗からなるプロトタイプ・タイル電流アレイにより、データが得られた。データは、単一ヌル・ダイバータのスクレイプオフ層(SOL)において、典型的には1〜2 kAの電流がポロイダル方向に循環することを示している。二重ヌル・ダイバータでは、同程度の大きさの電流が外側SOLを垂直に流れ、内側SOLでははるかに小さい電流となる。内側と外側のダイバータ打撃点を結ぶ短いSOLを横切る電流はほとんど流れない。SOL電流はプラズマ電流および周辺局在モード(ELM)とともに増加し、Hモードへの遷移時および大量ガス入射時には減少する。巨大ELM事象中には、SOL電流は5〜10 kAへと急激に上昇する。SOL電流を駆動する3つの可能なメカニズムについてデータとの定性的比較が行われたが、支配的なメカニズムを特定するには証拠が不十分である。ディスラプション中には、100 kAを超えるポロイダル電流が壁へ流れる。
