16th International Workshop on Plasma Edge Theory in Fusion Devices

27-29 septembre 2017, Palais du Pharo, Marseille

--> organisé par le M2P2 avec PIIM et IRFM:


SUBJECT MATTER
The 16th Plasma Edge Theory workshop is organised by Aix-Marseille University and the IRFM (Institute for Research on Magnetic Fusion) at CEA Cadarache. Like the preceding workshops, this workshop addresses plasma theory of the edge region in magnetic confinement fusion devices. It will reflect the present status of the theory for the boundary layer of fusion plasmas. The emphasis will be on the development of theory and of appropriate numerical methods, with a secondary interest in self-consistent modelling of experimental data (including also empirical elements).

The following topics are intended to be covered by invited and contributed lectures:


BASIC EDGE PLASMA THEORY
  • Magnetic boundary structure including magnetic stochasticity Sheath effects
  • Edge transport parallel and perpendicular to magnetic field Electric field effects
  • Instabilities and turbulence
  • Neutrals and multi-ion theories, radiation
  • Plasma detachment including cold and dense buffer plasmas
  • New edge-relevant numerical and computational methods

MODELS OF SPECIAL PHENOMENA AND EDGE CONTROL
  • Hot spots, radiative cooling
  • L-H transition, blobs, ELMs (including control), and pedestal structure
  • Flow patterns, momentum transport, and impurity retention Biasing and shaping of targets
  • Dusty effects

INTEGRATED EDGE PLASMA MODELLING
  • Kinetic and Monte Carlo codes Multi-fluid codes
  • Effects of plasma edge/core coupling
  • Validation of edge plasma theories
