Globus-M plasma edge modeling with B2SOLPS5.2 code
Abstract
The edge plasma of five Globus-M discharges was modeled by the B2SOLPS5.2 code. Plasma current varied in 114-198 kA range, and all discharges were in the H-mode. The modeled scrape-off layer (SOL) width appeared to be inversely proportional to the plasma current. Such a relation is observed in many other tokamaks. Heat flux to the outer divertor target and radiation power was examined for these discharges. Radiation was found to be responsible for 40% of the energy loss. Energy flux to the low outer divertor target was about 1/3 of the energy loss in the single-null low X-point discharges.
