Scrape-off layer properties of ITER-like limiter start-up plasmas at JET
Original language description
Recent experiments at JET combining reciprocating probe measurements and infrared thermography on plasmas in limiter configurations show that the common approach to predicting the power load on the limiter underestimates the heat flux at the contact point by a factor 1.5 ? 3. The current model and scaling laws used for predicting the power load onto the first wall during limiter current ramp-up/down in ITER are uncertain and a better understanding of the heat transport to the PFCs is required. The heatloads on PFCs are usually predicted by projecting the parallel heat flux associated with scrape-off layer (SOL) properties at the outer mid-plane along the magnetic field lines to the limiter surface and deducing the surface heat flux through a cosine law, thus ignoring any local effect of the PFC on transport within the SOL. The underestimate of the heat flux is systematic in inner wall limite configurations, whereas in outer limiter configuration this is not observed.
