Abstract

The particle exhaust of the upper tungsten and lower carbon divertors in EAST has been preliminarily studied during the 2016 experimental campaign. The density decay time during terminating gas puffing has been employed as a key parameter to evaluate the divertor particle exhaust performance. Comparative plasma discharges have been carried out on the particle exhaust performance between two toroidal field directions in the upper single null and lower single null divertor configurations. This work has enhanced the understanding of the effects of the in–out asymmetry and divertor geometry on the efficiency of the divertor particle exhaust. In addition, the sensitivity of the particle exhaust capability on different strike point locations has been analyzed. The experimental results are expected to provide important information on the future upgrade of EAST bottom divertor and facilitate the realization of longer pulse operation.
