Effect of plasma geometry on divertor heat flux spreading: MONALISA simulations and experimental results from TCV

Safe ITER operations will rely on power spreading to keep the peak heat flux within divertor material constraints. A solid understanding and parameterization of heat flux profiles is therefore mandatory. This paper focuses on the impact of plasma geometry on the power decay length (λq) and the sprea...
