7 What are some key features of the edge pedestal? Barrier to cross-field transport forms in close proximity to last closed flux surface Edge gradients drive significant bootstrap current Local p, j provide drive for MHD instabilities which can limit pressure pedestal H-mode: barrier is in both particle and thermal transport, so that p has both n and T component Hughes / APS-DPP, Providence / 1 Nov 2012 / TI
8 Edge localized modes (ELMs) can be driven by peeling-ballooning instability PB modes: finite-n pressure gradient and edge current driven instabilities Peeling boundary: unstable modes at low n Linear stability typically calculated from experiments using measured pressure modeled edge current Ballooning boundary: unstable modes at moderate n Hughes / APS-DPP, Providence / 1 Nov 2012 / TI
9 Current Density (10 5 A/m 2 ) Current Density (10 5 A/m 2 ) Conventional models for (unmeasured) bootstrap current have been tested using kinetic codes NEO: ~10% 20% differences in the bootstrap current from simplified models Direct comparisons with Sauter s [PoP 99] model: XGC0: Agreement in banana/plateau regimes; departure in collisional regime [Koh, PoP 12] MIT Global Pedestal DK Code: Agreement in banana; disagreement in plateau [Landreman + Ernst, PPCF 12] DIII-D: n *e ~ 0.15 R/a ~ 3 XGC0 Sauter Normalized Psi Normalized Psi Hughes / APS-DPP, Providence / 1 Nov 2012 / TI Koh, Phys. Plasmas 19, (2012) 1 NSTX: n *e ~ 7.7 R/a ~ 1.3 XGC0 Sauter
10 Linear peeling-ballooning stability can explain onset of Type I ELMs in C-Mod, DIII-D and NSTX NSTX: (1) XGC0-derived j b used in edge current (2) Stability calculation extended to lower n C-Mod/DIII-D: Identity experiment with matched dimensionless parameters Hughes / APS-DPP, Providence / 1 Nov 2012 / TI
11 Bottom line: peeling-ballooning provides ultimate pedestal pressure limit Typical H-modes with PB constraint applied: pedestal height increases with width β ped Δ x, where x 3 4 Need a constraint for the width in pedestal model, preferably consistent with this (Obviously the experiment has such a constraint) Hughes / APS-DPP, Providence / 1 Nov 2012 / TI
12 Kinetic ballooning modes (KBMs) impose an additional limit to pedestal pressure gradient KBMs: smaller scale and more localized than PBMs Controlled by pedestal pressure gradient and magnetic shear (current density) Guidance from modeling gives a constraint of Δ β pol,ped x, where x 1 2 Hughes / APS-DPP, Providence / 1 Nov 2012 / TI
13 EPED model combines PBM and KBM constraints to predict maximum achievable height and width Combined models for bootstrap current, PB stability, KBM stability Inputs: B T, I P, R, a, κ, δ, m i, n ped, β global Outputs: Pedestal height and width (no free or fit parameters) Hypothesis: EPED prediction should match pressure height/width observed just prior to ELM onset Hughes / APS-DPP, Providence / 1 Nov 2012 / TI
14 KBM: Experiments reveal clear pedestal width trends with poloidal beta Data are taken prior to ELM crashes Pedestal Width (y n ) NSTX: a=1.06 DIII-D: a=0.50 C-Mod, DIII-D widths show approximately square root dependence on poloidal pedestal beta C-Mod: a=0.49 Dashed lines are fits to data of Δ ψ = c β pol,ped a NSTX: dependence is closer to linear Diallo, Nucl.

15 KBM: Modeling can closely reproduce width trends observed in experiment NSTX: a=0.8 Infinite-n ballooning limit used as a surrogate for KBM stability to yield critical gradients in pedestal Pedestal Width (y n ) Diallo, Nucl. Fusion 51 (2011) Walk, Nucl. Fusion 52 (2012) Dashed lines are model a predictions of Δ ψ = c β pol,ped Snyder, Phys. Plasmas 19 (2012) Pedestal Poloidal b C-Mod, DIII-D: a=0.5 Predictions: Snyder 2012 IAEA Predicted widths closely reproduce trends in C-Mod, DIII-D Captures stronger scaling on NSTX, but still underestimates Complex dependences on collisionality, shaping, etc. are seen in the model predictions at low aspect ratio Hughes / APS-DPP, Providence / 1 Nov 2012 / TI
16 KBM: Ballooning-like scalings appear to clamp pressure gradients across devices NSTX C-Mod (Pre-ELM) (Pre-ELM) (Post-ELM) (Post-ELM) Diallo, Nucl. Fusion 51 (2011) After ELM-induced degradation of pedestal, a rebuild with clamped gradient is often observed Pedestal width may expand for large portion of ELM-cycle Hughes / APS-DPP, Providence / 1 Nov 2012 / TI
