3D simulations of scrape-off layer filaments

In the Scrape-Off Layer (SOL) of magnetic confinement devices, cross-field transport of particles is dominated by the convection of filamentary plasma structures via self-generated E×B velocity fields. This thesis investigates the dynamics of such filaments using three dimensional simulations to fur...
