Dynamics and statistical features of coherent plasma structures in the SOL of a tokamak

Understanding surface erosion in tokamaks due to contact with hot plasma is critical in designing new high power devices. The propagation of the plasma through the scrape off layer (SOL) ultimately defines the spatio-temporal characteristics of this erosion, hence modelling of this region is an impo...
