A blob-filament (or simply “blob”) is a magnetic-field-aligned plasma structure which is
considerably denser than the surrounding background plasma and highly localized in the …

In ITER, as in any tokamak, the first wall and divertor plasma-facing components (PFC) must
provide adequate protection of in-vessel structures, sufficient heat exhaust capability and be …

In this paper we review some theoretical aspects of the dynamics of the mesoscale filaments
extending along the magnetic field lines in the edge plasma, which are often called 'blobs' …

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 …

The new code TOKAM3X simulates plasma turbulence in full torus geometry including the
open field lines of the Scrape-off Layer (SOL) and the edge closed field lines region in the …

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 …

The GRILLIX code is presented with which plasma turbulence/transport in various
geometries can be simulated in 3D. The distinguishing feature of the code is that it is based …

A two-equation model to self-consistently determine cross-field fluxes in the edge and
scrape-off layer (SOL) region of diverted plasma is used to complete 2D mean-field edge …

The inboard limiters for ITER were initially designed on the assumption that the parallel heat
flux density in the scrape-off layer (SOL) could be approximated by a single exponential with …

This paper uses data from limited HL-2A Ohmic-plasma to answer the question of how
turbulent transport broadens the heat flux width. A key issue in this study is the determination …
