| Popis: | We have determined the poloidal velocity in the scrape-off layer (SOL) of ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) and further inside with three different methods, which are critically compared. The methods take use of a reciprocating probe with six pins by which the radial electric field and the cross-correlation (CC) of signals was determined in the SOL up to the shear layer (SL) and a few mm inside it. The poloidal velocity was determined (i) from the ExB drift, (ii) from the CC of the ion saturation currents of two poloidally separated negatively biased probes and (iii) from the CC of two poloidally separated floating probes. By use of synthetic data, obtained from simulations with AUG parameters applying the ESEL code, a detailed benchmarking was carried out. Based on the probe data we have also determined the position of the shear layer. |
