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 …

This paper reviews the application to magnetic-confinement fusion experiments of
dimensional analysis, which holds that the behavior of physical systems can be determined …

Based on the drift-reduced Braginskii equations, the Global Braginskii Solver, GBS, is able
to model the scrape-off layer (SOL) plasma turbulence in terms of the interplay between the …

We show for JET and ASDEX Upgrade, based on Thomson-scattering measurements, a
clear correlation of the density limit of the tokamak H-mode high-confinement regime with …

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 …

Results on edge turbulence in periods separating edge localised modes (ELMs), ie inter-
ELM periods, in Mega-Amp Spherical Tokamak (MAST) are presented. It is shown through …

The low temperature boundary layer plasma (scrape-off layer or SOL) between the hot core
and the surrounding vessel determines the level of power loading, erosion and implantation …

A theoretical framework is developed to link the density profiles in the scrape off layer (SOL)
with the fluctuations (filaments) that generate them. The framework is based on the dynamics …

Numerical simulations of interchange turbulence in the scrape-off layer are performed in a
regime relevant for a specific L-mode Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak (MAST) discharge …

A stochastic model is presented for intermittent fluctuations in the scrape-off layer of
magnetically confined plasmas. The fluctuations in the plasma density are modeled by a …
