The boundary region of magnetically confined plasmas has been known to have inherently
fluctuating parameters ever since the first probe measurements were made [1–5]. Until …

With increasing size of a tokamak device and associated fusion power gain an increasing
power flux density towards the divertor needs to be handled. A solution for handling this …

Recent research in scrape-off layer (SOL) and divertor physics is reviewed; new and existing
data from a variety of experiments have been used to make cross-experiment comparisons …

Self-consistent full-size turbulent-transport simulations of the divertor and scrape-off-layer
(SOL) of existing tokamaks have recently become feasible. This enables the direct …

High-speed high-spatial-resolution data obtained by the gas puff imaging (GPI) diagnostic
on the National Spherical Torus Experiment [M. Ono, MG Bell, RE Bell et al Plasma Phys …

Robust power exhaust schemes employing impurity seeding are needed for target
operational scenarios in present day tokamak devices with metallic plasma-facing …

The transport of heat and particles in the relatively collisional edge regions of magnetically
confined plasmas is a scientifically challenging and technologically important problem …

BOUT++ is a 3D nonlinear finite-difference plasma simulation code, capable of solving quite
general systems of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), but targeted particularly on studies …

A stochastic model is presented for intermittent fluctuations in the scrape-off layer of
magnetically confined plasmas. The fluctuations in the plasma density are modeled by a …

A global electromagnetic gyrofluid model based on the full-F gyrokinetic model is derived.
The gyrofluid moment variables are not split into fluctuating and equilibrium parts. Profiles …
