Theory and Modeling of Edge Plasma Transport, Plasma-Wall Interactions, and Dust Dynamics (original) (raw)

Anomalous plasma transport and plasma flows at tokamak edge, plasma-wall interactions, as well as dust dynamics and transport in fusion plasmas are among the most important processes for reactor design and performance. Recent results of theoretical studies and simulations on some aspects of these processes (including formation of mesoscale convective structures, effects of blobby transport on plasma flow in scrape-off layer, impact of wall processes and plasma-wall interactions on plasma performance, and dust dynamics and dust diagnostics) are presented and discussed in this paper.
