研究目的
Investigating the edge carbon impurity flow in the stochastic layer of the Large Helical Device (LHD) using 3D simulations with EMC3-EIRENE code and comparing with VUV measurements to understand the mechanisms of impurity transport influenced by magnetic field structure and plasma conditions.
研究成果
The EMC3-EIRENE code effectively models edge impurity flow in LHD's stochastic layer, showing good agreement with VUV measurements. The impurity flow direction is influenced by 3D magnetic structure and plasma conditions, with changes in magnetic axis position and upstream density leading to reversals in flow direction and alterations in impurity screening efficiency.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific LHD configurations and plasma conditions; it does not include self-consistent treatment of drift and volume recombination effects in the EMC3-EIRENE code, and the simulations are time-independent, potentially missing dynamic effects.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses the EMC3-EIRENE code for 3D edge plasma and impurity transport modeling in the LHD, incorporating Braginskii fluid equations for plasma and impurity transport, and Monte Carlo methods for steady-state solutions. The VUV spectrometer system is employed for experimental measurements of C3+ impurity flow via Doppler-shift spectroscopy.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Data from LHD discharge shot #126987 at specific timings (t = 3.25 s and t = 4.25 s) are used, with parameters such as magnetic axis position (Rax = 3.6 m), toroidal magnetic field (Bt = 2.75 T), upstream density, and input power from ECH and NBI heating.
3:25 s and t = 25 s) are used, with parameters such as magnetic axis position (Rax = 6 m), toroidal magnetic field (Bt = 75 T), upstream density, and input power from ECH and NBI heating.

3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Equipment includes the Large Helical Device (LHD), VUV spectrometer system with CCD detector, mirrors, and computational tools like EMC3-EIRENE code and ADAS database for emission coefficients.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Simulations are set up with boundary conditions at LCFS, impurity sources from divertor erosion, and cross-field transport coefficients. VUV measurements involve capturing CIV spectra, fitting Gaussian profiles to determine Doppler shifts, and calculating impurity flow velocities.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data analysis includes post-processing with a program to compute chord-integrated velocities from simulations, comparing with experimental data, and performing parameter scans on magnetic configurations and plasma densities.
