Abstract

The behavior of the transient heat flux produced by a three-electrode capillary discharge generator working at a repetitive mode is presented in this paper. The radial distribution profiles of plasma temperature, electron density, and thermal load are obtained by the optical emission spectrometry and correction algorithm. Experiments with different capillary diameters and charging voltages are carried out, and the relation between the discharge characteristics and the geometry parameters of the capillary is measured. A maximum transient thermal load of 1.42 GW·m−2 is obtained with 10 Hz, which can meet the thermal load amplitude requirement of Type-I edge localized mode heat flux in the ITER-like Tokamak.
