A New framework for integrated simulation model using MPMD approach

Takayama, Arimichi*; Shimizu, Katsuhiro; Tomita, Yukihiro*; Takizuka, Tomonori

Journal of Plasma and Fusion Research SERIES, Vol.9, p.604 - 609, 2010/08

We introduce a new effective framework to combine computer codes into integrated simulation model. The framework employs MPMD (Multiple Program Multiple Data) approach and each computer code is written with MPI (Message Passing Interface) library. Adopting MPMD approach makes each computer code independent, which leads to the capability for maintenance and improvement of the integrated simulation model. The validity and usability of this approach is shown through a simple example model, which simulates the integrated divertor code, SONIC.

Release conditions of dust particle from plasma-facing wall in oblique magnetic field

Tomita, Yukihiro*; Kawamura, Gakushi*; Smirnov, R.*; Takizuka, Tomonori; Tskhakaya, D.*

Release conditions of a spherical dust particle from a plasma-facing vertical wall immersed in an oblique magnetic field are studied analytically. The Poisson's equation is solved in the sheath to obtain the electric field at the wall, which repels the dust particle from the wall. The electric field decreases as the direction of the magnetic field approaches parallel to the wall. On the other hand the ion flow velocity becomes larger at moderate oblique angle than that without magnetic field. It is clarified that in the case of the strong magnetic field the critical dust radius for the release of the dust increases as magnetic field becomes more acute. In the case of the weak magnetic field, the critical radius disappears at the moderate angles of the oblique magnetic field.

In the study of dust behavior in plasma it is usually assumed that plasma particles are Maxwell distributed. If the dust is located on the conducting wall, the surrounding particle distribution can significantly differ from the Maxwellian. In this work we study the effect of truncation of electron velocity distribution on release conditions of a spherical dust particle from a plasma-facing wall. The truncation effect enlarges the electric field at the wall compared compared to the Maxwellian. The stronger electric field at the wall makes the released region smaller when the gravitational force is directed from the wall.

Charging of a spherical dust particle on a plasma-facing wall

The induced charge of a spherical conducting dust particle on a plasma-facing wall is studied analytically. An external non-uniform electric field is approximated by the polynomial of the axial coordinate and the bipolar coordinate is introduced in order to employ the boundary condition. The result is applied to the dust in the non-uniform electric field in the Debye sheath in front of the conducting wall. The results are useful for analyzing the shielding effects of the plasma surrounding a dust particle.

Reduction of sheath potential and particle flux at a target plate by negatively charged dust particles

Electrostatic potential formation due to negatively charged dust particles near a divertor plate is studied by one-dimensional kinetic analysis. It is shown that the negatively charged dust particles reduce the ion-sheath potential drop in front of the plate. Dust particles with a large radius (100 micron) reduce the potential drop significantly despite the low dust-to-plasma density ratio ($$sim$$10to-8). The plasma particle flux is reduced appreciably by the absorption by the dust particles.

Dynamics of dust particles in a divertor plasma is simulated using numerical solutions of dust momentum and charging equations in an electrostatic sheath and an ionizing presheath. Spatial distribution of plasma parameters in a divertor are obtained with particle simulations including ionization by electron-impact. We found that dust particles with a larger radius are incapable to come off a divertor plate. Middle-size dust particles come off the plate but come back to the plate. Smaller dust particles come off the plate and reach an equilibrium position in the divertor plasma.

Reduction of sheath potential and dust ion-acoustic wave by negatively charged dust particles

Formation of an electrostatic potential due to negatively charged dust particles near a target plate was studied by one-dimensional kinetic analysis. Immovable dust particles are distributed uniformly inside a system. It is clarified that the negatively charged dust particles reduce the ion-sheath drop. A threshold dust density makes the electric field at the target plate zero. The stationary oscillation appears in the electrostatic potential for the dust density above the threshold. We confirm that this oscillation is the Dust Ion-Acoustic Wave with a wave length of the order of Debye length, where dust charges are effective to determine the coefficient.

Dynamics of dust particles coming off a wall in sheath and presheath

Dynamics of a single dust particle in near-wall plasma is studied in wide range of dust radii and masses. Dust motion and charging equations are solved in the plasma simulated for sheath and ionizing presheath using one-dimensional particle model. It was found that balance of electric and ion drag forces acting on the dust particle provides two critical dust radii differentiating motion of dust started at the wall between pinned against the wall, short and long-range oscillating. Delayed charging causes the mass dependence of the second critical radius until transition from short to long-range oscillations becomes undistinguishable.

Dynamics of dust particles in a divertor plasma is simulated using numerical solutions of dust momentum and charging equations. Spatial distributions of plasma parameters in a divertor are obtained with particle simulations including electron-impact ionization. We find that the large-radius dust particles are not released from the divertor plate. The middle-size-radius particles are released but retuned to the plate. The small-radius particles can be released from the plate.
