Behaviour of multiple discrete waiting times between mass loss events in a sandpile model

Applications of Sandpile Algorithms to Modelling Edge Localised Mode Phenomenology in Magnetically Confined Fusion Plasmas

“…Importantly, in the model developed here, avalanche size reduction is achieved via continuous (or quasi-continuous) addition of fuel in the pedestal, rather than by synchronising pellets to waiting times between avalanches, and it is conjectured that this may also be true for a fusion plasma. Some of this research has been published in [1][2][3][4][5].…”
