This work investigates the behavior of impurities in edge plasma of tokamaks using high-resolution numerical simulations based on Hasegawa–Wakatani equations. Specifically, it focuses on the behavior of inertial particles, which has not been extensively studied in the field of plasma physics. Our simulations utilize one-way coupling of a large number of inertial point particles, which model plasma impurities. We observe that with Stokes number (St), which characterizes the inertia of particles being much less than one, such light impurities closely track the fluid flow without pronounced clustering. For intermediate St values, distinct clustering appears, with larger Stokes values, i.e., heavy impurities even generating more substantial clusters. When St is significantly large, very heavy impurities tend to detach from the flow and maintain their trajectory, resulting in fewer observable clusters and corresponding to random motion. A core component of this work involves machine learning techniques. Applying three different neural networks—Autoencoder, U-Net, and Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)—to synthesize preferential concentration fields of impurities, we use vorticity as input and predict impurity number density fields. GAN outperforms the two others by aligning closely with direct numerical simulation data in terms of probability density functions of the particle distribution and energy spectra. This machine learning technique holds the potential to reduce computational costs by eliminating the need to track millions of particles modeling impurities in simulations.
