Turbulent Transport Mechanism in Island Divertors — •Ralph Sarkis1, Mirko Ramisch1, and Peter Manz2 — 1IGVP, University of Stuttgart, Germany — 2Institute of Physics, University of Greifswald, Germany
Island divertors have demonstrated strong promise in controlling particle and heat exhaust. Considering the long parallel and short binormal connection lengths at the island divertor, it becomes clear that transport in the binormal direction plays an important role. This can broaden perturbations and modify the convective and diffusive transport, ultimately determining the divertor heat and particle flux pattern. In this contribution, we present an overview of an envisaged research project dedicated to the understanding of the fundamental dynamics in island divertors. This objective will be pursued through an integrated experimental and computational approach, jointly carried out by research groups at the University of Stuttgart and the University of Greifswald, thereby combining complementary expertise in diagnostics, modeling, and theoretical analysis to achieve a comprehensive understanding of transport in the island divertor.
