Abstract

Effect of edge turbulent transport on scrape-off layer (SOL) width has been investigated in Ohmically heated L-mode plasma under limiter configurations on HL-2A tokamak. It has been found that SOL width is doubled when plasma current decreases about 20%. With larger plasma current, E × B shear is stronger and has greater suppression effect on edge turbulent transport. SOL width is larger when power of relative density fluctuation level in the edge region is larger. It is concluded that edge turbulent transport plays a significant role on SOL width. These experimental findings may provide a better understanding and controlling of power exhaust for present and future fusion devices.
- SOL width,
- edge turbulent transport,
- E × B shear,
