2 Boundary flows move particles poloidally around the plasma to the divertors. Motivation for boundary flow studies Poloidal motion of entrained impurities macroscopic erosion and redeposition of divertor surfaces co-deposition of tritium. It is difficult to produce a theoretical description of these flows because they are driven in part by anomalous transport. Diverted Tokamak Plasma Γ r LSN Γ Near Sonic Parallel Flows Observed Other reasons for Boundary flow studies: Impurity screening Flow-shear turbulence suppression Core rotation boundary condition Topology-Dependence of H-Mode power threshold Poloidal projection of parallel flows driven by ballooning transport asymmetry in Inner upper and lower single null Divertor Outer Divertor Γ r USN
3 Parallel Mach # toward inner divertor r / a = 1.02 Strong, poloidally asymmetric plasma flows are observed in tokamak boundaries Near-sonic (M ~ 0.5) parallel flow is persistently observed in the High Field Side () SOL (C-Mod [1], JET [2], JT60-U [3]). Outer Divertor --- Position along field line --- Inner Divertor Parallel flow data from Tore Supra imply a strong ballooning-like transport asymmetry, localized within a 30 sector at the low-field side () midplane [4]. What are the contributions of different drive mechanisms? Strong ballooning-like transport asymmetry (transport-driven) Neo-classical Pfirsch-Schlüter flows (drift-driven) Toroidal Rotation (drift-driven) Mechanism that closes flow loop? [1] LaBombard, B.

32 Poloidal flux ratio, divertor/ midplane poloidal particle flux not accounted for at divertor Inner divertor flux is comparable to poloidal particle flux observed at midplane Line-averaged discharge density [10 20 m -3 ]
33 Poloidal flux ratio, divertor/ midplane poloidal particle flux not accounted for at divertor Inner divertor flux is comparable to poloidal particle flux observed at midplane. KN1D simulations [5, 6] indicate that neutral penetration to core/private zone from inner divertor is <10% due to short neutral MFP Line-averaged discharge density [10 20 m -3 ] [5] LaBombard, B.

34 Poloidal flux ratio, divertor/ midplane poloidal particle flux not accounted for at divertor Inner divertor flux is comparable to poloidal particle flux observed at midplane. KN1D simulations [5, 6] indicate that neutral penetration to core/private zone from inner divertor is <10% due to short neutral MFP. Thus, continuity requires that some other mechanism is diverting particles from the SOL. Inner divertor recycling does not explain closure of flow loop Line-averaged discharge density [10 20 m -3 ] [5] LaBombard, B.

35 Hypothesis: turbulent pinch closes flow loop Could particles be returning to the core via a turbulent pinch? This is a solution commonly employed by 2-D edge codes to explain flows. [7, 8, 9] -Γ r? Γ r [7] Pigarov, A.Y. Contrib. Plasma Phys. 48 (2008) [8] Elder, J.D. J. Nucl. Mater (2009) [9] Kirnev, G.S. J. Nucl. Mater. 337 (2005) Ballooning Particle Pinch?
36 Γ r /n e [m/s] Measurements rule out midplane turbulent pinch DIV radial particle flux is robustly zero at midplane location. -Γ r? Γ r DIV Ballooning Particle Pinch?
37 Γ r /n e [m/s] Measurements rule out midplane turbulent pinch DIV X -Γr? Γ r radial particle flux is robustly zero at midplane location. DIV Ballooning Particle Pinch?
38 Γ r /n e [m/s] Measurements rule out midplane turbulent pinch DIV X -Γr? Γ r radial particle flux is robustly zero at midplane location. DIV Caveat: Particle pinch at other locations along the inner divertor leg cannot be ruled out Ballooning Particle Pinch?
39 Hypothesis: Volume recombination closes flow loop Could a volume recombination zone be present in the far SOL of the inner divertor leg, returning particles to the core as neutrals? [10] Γ r Γ n [10] Bonnin, X. J. Nucl. Mater. 313 (2003) Volume Recombination Zone?
40 Hypothesis: Volume recombination closes flow loop Could a volume recombination zone be present in the far SOL of the inner divertor leg, returning particles to the core as neutrals? [10] KN1D modeling indicates recombining plasma would have to impinge on closed field lines to allow sufficient neutral penetration to close loop. Γ r Γ n Volume Recombination Zone? [10] Bonnin, X. J. Nucl. Mater. 313 (2003)
41 LCFS Hypothesis: Volume recombination closes flow loop Could a volume recombination zone be present in the far SOL of the inner divertor leg, returning particles to the core as neutrals? [10] KN1D modeling indicates recombining plasma would have to impinge on closed field lines to allow sufficient neutral penetration to close loop. This is inconsistent with observation of partially attached inner divertor. Neutral penetration from volume recombination zone does not close mass flow loop. Midplane X Midplane Γ n Γ r Attached Detached? [10] Bonnin, X. J. Nucl. Mater. 313 (2003)
42 Future work: Other candidates for closing mass flow loop must be investigated Having eliminated the most obvious closure mechanisms for the poloidal flow loop, we must look to other candidates: Radial convection (E θ x B) X-point specific physics Pinch or diffusion into private flux zone?
43 Conclusions Total flow vector has been measured and shown to be consistent with physical expectations. Measured drift-driven flows are divergence-free. Transport-driven poloidal particle flux is consistent with measured fluctuationinduced radial particle flux. Pfirsch-Schlüter, toroidal rotation and and transport-driven contributions to parallel flow are uniquely identified. Transport-driven parallel flows dominate poloidal particle flux, carrying plasma toward active X-point. Convection is important in poloidal heat transport. Closure mechanism for transport driven flow loop: Divertor recycling cannot account for transport-driven poloidal particle flux. midplane turbulent particle pinch is zero KN1D simulations show that direct neutral penetration from recombining plasma zone does not close the flow loop.
