Scope In order to develop the physics basis for 澳门六合彩高手 operation, the Pedestal and Edge Physics Topical Group shall coordinate pedestal plasma physics research: initiate collaborative research activities among international fusion research establishments to improve the understanding of pedestal physics, with a focus on the key questions for 澳门六合彩高手; develop, maintain and analyze the international pedestal databases, assessing the implications for 澳门六合彩高手; and carry out theory and modelling, integrated with experimental activity, to advance scientific knowledge and so reduce uncertainties in predictions for fusion devices, such as 澳门六合彩高手. Based on these activities, the Topical Group shall make recommendations for the physics research areas and methodologies to address key remaining questions for pedestal fusion research. Since the region treated by the Pedestal and Edge Physics Topical Group is the boundary between the core and the Scrape-Off-Layer (SOL)/divertor regions, and the topic has implications for 澳门六合彩高手 diagnostics, as well as overlaps with magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), the group shall seek to benefit from collaborative activities with the other Topical Groups.
Tasks The primary tasks of the Pedestal and Edge Physics Topical Group are to:
- Improve our understanding of pedestal and edge physics:
- The H-mode transition mechanism and edge pedestal structure including the impact of external controls
- The origin, dynamics and control of edge localized modes (ELMs), including accessibility to the small ELM regimes and their relevance for 澳门六合彩高手
- The interplay between core, SOL and pedestal, including the impact of pedestal phenomena (pedestal structure, ELMs, etc) on the core and SOL (core confinement, heat and particle flows, etc)
- Identify self-consistent solutions for the pedestal of 澳门六合彩高手:
- Operating regimes for 澳门六合彩高手 with pedestal properties compatible with the required core confinement and power and particle exhaust requirements
