Tokamak Edge Plasma Turbulence Interaction with Magnetic X-Point in 3D Global Simulations

Turbulence in the edge plasma of a tokamak is a key actor in the determination of the confinement properties. The divertor configuration seems to be beneficial for confinement, suggesting an effect on turbulence of the particular magnetic geometry introduced by the X-point. Simulations with the 3D f...
