An improved model for the accurate calculation of parallel heat fluxes at the JET bulk tungsten outer divertor

Parallel heat flux calculations at the JET divertor have been based on the assumption that all incoming heat is due to the projection of the heat flux parallel to the magnetic line, q, plus a constant background. This simplification led to inconsistencies ...

Long-lived coupled peeling ballooning modes preceding ELMs on JET

In some JET discharges, type-I edge localised modes (ELMs) are preceded by a class of low-frequency oscillations (Perez et al 2004 Nucl. Fusion 44 609). While in many cases the ELM is triggered during the growth phase of this oscillation, it is also observ ...

Observation of enhanced ion particle transport in mixed H/D isotope plasmas on JET

Particle transport in tokamak plasmas has been intensively studied in the past, particularly in relation to density peaking and the presence of anomalous inward particle convection in L-and H-modes. While in the L-mode case the presence of the anomalous in ...
