3D Tungsten transport in an ELM-suppressed ASDEX Upgrade plasma
Simulation of (trace) tungsten transport in an ASDEX Upgrade plasma where edge instabilities are suppressed by external 3D magnetic fields. The figure shows the contours of high tungsten density in 3D. The left poloidal cross-section depicts the axisymmetric projection of the tungsten density while the right poloidal cross-section shows the plasma density with ExB drift contours in white. The 3D perturbations to suppress edge instabilities are created by the two rows of 'RMP' coils included in black. The whole study is documented in [S.Q. Korving, V. Mitterauer et al, PoP 31, 052504 (2024)].
