Plasma boundary phenomena in tokamaks

Abstract: Effects of the plasma boundary can have a substantial influence on the behaviour of the entire plasma in tokamaks. Progress in the field, particularly that over the last decade, is reviewed, with emphasis on experimental observation. Simple modelling for interpretation is also included.

“…Other factors may however over-ride the simple picture. Reverse flow in the scrape-off layer (SOL), as observed in 2-D fluid calculations [1], is one possibility and the ion temperature gradient force acting away from the target plate is another.…”

“…Poloidal ergodic divertors constitute a prime technique in the management of impurities [1], magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stabilization [2] and high performance mode inducement [3] for present day and future tokamaks. In particular, the challenge posed by the heat flux impact on the vessel target inner surfaces has been considerably averted by means of divertor dissipative techniques [4].…”

“…Plasma momentum has been interested in fusion oriented devices and, for an example, plasma flow in a scrape-off layer is linked to tokamak confinement [1]. The plasma momentum has also attracted researchers' attention in other applied fields, such as electric propulsions [2] and plasma actuators [3].…”
