Times Cited Count:18 Percentile:51.27(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)Particle control of the main plasma density and exhaust of impurities ions have been demonstrated using the divertor pumping under saturated divertor condition. In JT-60U, ELMy H-mode operation was recently extended to 30s (with NB heating of 8-14 MW). Total number of injected particles reached (1-4)x1023 to maintain high densities. During the long pulse ELMy H-mode of JT-60U, gas puff rate was decreased from 15 to 3Pam3/s, while pumping rate was relatively constant of ~10 Pam3/s. Thus, the divertor plate was mostly saturated. It was found that 40-50% of the injected D was retained, which are comparable to Tore-Supra long pulse and JET high density ELMy H-mode pulse. Particle balance for long pulse and/or high density plasmas are discussed. Carbon flux generated by the chemical process was increased due to increase in the target temperature. Carbon generation and carbon ion emission were gradually increased in the outer leg of the divertor and the X-point. Shielding effect of the divertor was sustained and increment of the radiation power fraction was small in 30s.

Times Cited Count:29 Percentile:67.01(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)This paper reviews the present status of recent first principles based plasma turbulence simulations, and gives quantitative discussions on influences of the v// nonlinearlity and the geometry effects in the gyrokinetic Poisson equaiton, which are ignored in the conventional approximations, on simulations results. Careful treatments of these effects enable turbulence simulations satisfying the conservation of the energy and the particle number. The new simulation disclosed new phenomena, and it is found that (1) turbulence spreading is induced by avalanche like phnemena consisting of bursty heat transport and local flattening of pressure profiles, and (2) nonlinearly driven EB flows become global shear flows with scale lengths of about 30 ion gyro radii.
