Simulation of Heat Flux to the DEMO First Wall Due to Filamentary Transport in the Far SOL

Abstract

A simplified model describing turbulent plasma transport in the far scrape-off layer has been proposed for calculation of the plasma heat and particle fluxes to the first wall (FW) of the DEMO tokamak. The model has been implemented in the TOKES code for simulation of the heat flux distribution along the tokamak FW. First simulations of the wall heat flux, using this model, predict more pronounced “hot spots” at the top of the DEMO wall in comparison with the exponential heat flux decay model, commonly used for simulation of the flux.
