A blob-filament (or simply “blob”) is a magnetic-field-aligned plasma structure which is
considerably denser than the surrounding background plasma and highly localized in the …

Plasma 'blobs', which are localized enhanced density structures, have been widely
observed in the turbulent edge and scrape-off layer (SOL) of several tokamaks. They are …

A multidiagnostic approach, utilizing Langmuir probes in the midplane, X-point and divertor
walls, along with lithium beam and infrared measurements is employed to evaluate the …

In a wide variety of natural and laboratory magnetized plasmas, filaments appear as a result
of interchange instability. These convective structures substantially enhance transport in the …

Fluctuations and particle transport in the scrape-off layer of TCV plasmas have been
investigated by probe measurements and direct comparison with two-dimensional …

Single-point measurements of fluctuations in the scrape-off layer of magnetized plasmas are
generally found to be dominated by large-amplitude bursts which are associated with radial …

Using recently installed scrape-off layer diagnostics on the tokamak à configuration variable,
we characterise the poloidal and parallel properties of turbulent filaments. We access both …

This paper presents simulations of isolated 3D filaments in a slab geometry obtained using a
newly developed 3D reduced fluid code, written using the BOUT++ framework. First …

A summary of recent results on filamentary transport, mostly obtained with the ASDEX-
Upgrade tokamak (AUG), is presented and discussed in an attempt to produce a coherent …

In this work we carry out quantitative measurements of particle and heat transport associated
to SOL filaments in a tokamak, and relate density shoulder formation to the advection of …
