The effect of ion-orbit-loss on the distribution of ion, energy and momentum from the edge plasma into the scrape-off layer in tokamaks

Some of the outflowing ions in the plasma edge have sufficient energy to access orbits which allow them to free-stream out of the confined plasma region and be lost to the wall or divertor. The effects of this ion-orbit-loss (IOL) on the poloidal distribution of ion, energy and momentum fluxes from...
