A reciprocating probe in the lower divertor of ASDEX Upgrade, capable of accessing the low-field (LFS) and high-field side (HFS) scrape-off layers (SOLs) as well as the private flux region, was equipped with a Mach probe and used to measure flows in the vicinity of the lower x-point. We report on our measurements from ohmic and low-power H-mode discharges with ion B × ∇B drift towards the bottom x-point, and discuss their relevance to the current SOL/divertor flow understanding. In ohmic discharges, we present the evolution of divertor SOL and private flux flow profiles for increasing central ⟨ne⟩. We show that the private flux flow is mainly directed from the HFS to the LFS at low densities. At medium-high densities the flow profile becomes more symmetric, and at very high densities the flow direction reverses on the LFS separatrix, having a LFS to HFS direction inside the private flux. We discuss the possible mechanisms that could affect divertor flows and produce such behaviour and conclude that pressure asymmetry between the two divertor legs combined with an E × B drift towards the inner divertor is a likely driving mechanism. At the HFS SOL, very large Mach numbers (typically exceeding M = 1) were observed in most cases. In low-power H-mode discharges inter-ELM flows were observed to be very similar to ohmic ones.

ASDEX Upgradeの下部ダイバータに設置された往復プローブは、低磁場側(LFS)および高磁場側(HFS)のスクレープオフ層(SOL)とプライベートフラックス領域にアクセス可能であり、下部X点近傍の流れを測定するためにマッハプローブを装備した。我々は、イオンB×∇Bドリフトが底部X点方向に向かうオーミック放電および低出力Hモード放電からの測定結果を報告し、現在のSOL/ダイバータ流れの理解との関連性について議論する。オーミック放電において、中心密度⟨ne⟩の増加に伴うダイバータSOLおよびプライベートフラックス流れプロファイルの進化を示す。低密度では、プライベートフラックス流れは主にHFSからLFS方向であることを示す。中密度では流れプロファイルはより対称的になり、非常に高密度ではLFSセパラトリクス上で流れ方向が反転し、プライベートフラックス内ではLFSからHFS方向となる。ダイバータ流れに影響を与え、このような挙動を生み出す可能性のあるメカニズムについて議論し、2つのダイバータ脚部間の圧力非対称性と内側ダイバータ方向へのE×Bドリフトの組み合わせが有力な駆動メカニズムであると結論付ける。HFS SOLでは、ほとんどの場合において非常に大きなマッハ数(典型的にはM=1を超える)が観測された。低出力Hモード放電では、ELM間の流れはオーミック放電のものと非常に類似していることが観測された。
