The scrape-off layer in a finite-aspect-ratio torus: the influence of limiter position

P.J. Harbour, A. Loarte1995年被引用 11Nuclear FusionIF 3出版社

The effect on the scrape-off layer (SOL) of changing the position of a tokamak limiter from the low field side (LFS) to the high field side (HFS) of the plasma is considered. Conservation of magnetic flux in the SOL requires that the area, A||, for flow of particles and energy parallel to the magnetic field, be smaller on the HFS. The effect that this reduction in A|| has on the SOL is that, when the limiter is on the HFS, as compared with the LFS, then the characteristic scrape-off thickness is increased and the plasma particle and energy densities are higher. Such increases are described. They were observed in an experiment in JET in which the plasma was limited first on the LFS and then, during the same discharge, on the HFS. The magnitude of the effect was larger than expected, with the line integrated density of the SOL, nλn, having an average increase by a factor of 5.8 ± 1.1 and an increase by a factor of 7 at the respective limiter. Moreover, there was an increase in the characteristic scrape-off thickness for power flow, λp, by a factor of 2.5 ± 0.4 on average, and a corresponding increase by a factor of 3.0 at the respective limiter. Such an increase in n λn can substantially improve the screening of recycled particles and can increase wall pumping, although not strongly in the experiments described, which were in helium to avoid these effects. The large increase in λp measured in JET is useful in spreading power over a larger area of a limiter on the HFS. Evidence is presented which suggests that either the observed enhancement of the effect on the SOL above expectations is due to a reduction in the Mach number at the limiter sheath when on the HFS or there are fundamental problems with the modelling procedure usually used for the SOL. Related experiments are discussed

トカマクのリミターの位置をプラズマの低磁場側(LFS)から高磁場側(HFS)に変更した場合のスクレイプオフ層(SOL)への影響について考察する。SOLにおける磁束の保存は、磁場に平行な粒子およびエネルギーの流れのための面積A||がHFSではより小さくなることを要求する。A||のこの減少がSOLに及ぼす影響は、リミターがLFSにある場合と比較してHFSにある場合、特性スクレイプオフ厚さが増加し、プラズマの粒子密度およびエネルギー密度が高くなることである。そのような増加について述べる。これらは、JETにおいて、プラズマが最初にLFSで制限され、その後同じ放電中にHFSで制限された実験で観測された。その効果の大きさは予想よりも大きく、SOLの線積分密度nλnは平均で5.8 ± 1.1倍の増加を示し、それぞれのリミターでは7倍の増加を示した。さらに、電力流のための特性スクレイプオフ厚さλpは、平均で2.5 ± 0.4倍の増加があり、それぞれのリミターでは対応する3.0倍の増加があった。このようなnλnの増加は、リサイクル粒子の遮蔽を大幅に改善し、壁のポンピングを増加させ得るが、記述された実験では強くは見られなかった。これらの実験は、これらの影響を避けるためにヘリウム中で行われた。JETで測定されたλpの大きな増加は、HFS上のリミターのより広い面積に電力を分散させるのに有用である。SOLへの効果の観測された増強が予想を上回るのは、HFSにあるときのリミターシースにおけるマッハ数の減少によるか、あるいは通常SOLに使用されるモデリング手順に根本的な問題があることを示唆する証拠が提示される。関連する実験について議論する。
