Understanding the role of reconnection in filament separation and its impact on plasma exhaust in tokamaks, (2017-2018) - Responsabile Scientifico
UE-funded research - H2020 - Euratom
Abstract
The main objective of this Enabling Research proposal is to determine how plasma filaments separatefrom the well-confined region, and to understand the role that magnetic reconnection plays in the separation of afilament as well as the transport of its energy content towards the divertor target. This project will be addressingthe issue of magnetic reconnection during filament separation from three complementary perspectives: analyticaltheory, numerical computation, and experimental observations. This strategy benefits from ensuring stronginteractions between theoretical, numerical and experimental experts.Understanding the physics of the filament separation has important practical implications as itdetermines how energy transport occurs in the proximity of the separatrix, where parallel heat fluxes to thedivertor are large [28]. This project would provide an original and rigorous theoretical basis to shed some light onthe way ELM, inter-ELM and L-mode filaments interact with material surfaces and how reconnection mightaccelerate fast particles toward the divertor targets. This is an important issue for reactor relevant machines,where such filaments will be larger and will contain more kinetic and magnetic energy, possibly resulting inlarger divertor heat fluxes.Additionally, this project could improve the interpretation of some recent experimental observations. Forexample, the measurements of steeper heat flux profiles on JET limiters that led to the redesign of the ITERlimiter [29], or the non-exponential decay of density profiles which induces stronger interaction with unprotectedfirst wall surfaces [30], and the parametric dependence of upstream heat flux decay length, particularly itsdependence on the magnetic configuration and its lack of dependence on the major radius [6]. The connection toexperiments is a key aspect of the project, and one of the final goals is the comparison of numerical simulationsand analytical models with experimental observations.
