HEAT AND PARTICLE TRANSPORT OF SOL/DIVERTOR PLASMA IN THE W-SHAPED DIVERTOR ON JT-60U

摘要

The plasma profile and parallel flow in the scrape-off layer (SOL) were systematically measured using Mach probes installed at the midplane and the divertor x-point. Quantitative evaluation of a parallel flow: naturally produced in a torus to keep the pressure constant along the field line, was consistent with the measurement. Geometry effects of the W-shaped divertor on the divertor plasma and particle recycling at the newly installed baffle plates were evaluated quantitatively using the edge plasma data.
