Stability limits against external kink modes driven by large current density and pressure gradient values in the pedestal region are investigated for tokamak plasmas with separatrix. Stability diagrams for modes with different toroidal wave numbers under v ...
Although ohmic H-modes have long been produced on the TCV tokamak and the effects of ELMs at the divertor targets studied in some detail [1], no attempt has yet been made to model the scrape-off layer (SOL) in these plasmas. This contribution describes det ...
EDGE2D simulations show that high SOL flows can be generated when an additional radial convective transport is applied in the SOL and pedestal region along with a 'ballooning-like' poloidal variation in transport. This model produces an inward particle flu ...
