In this paper we report results of scaling studies aimed at determining how the divertor conditions vary with plasma current, toroidal field, and neutral beam heating power in H-mode discharges with ELMs in the DIII-D tokamak. We find that ELMs produce relatively more direct particle losses (50% or more of the total) than energy losses (≤20%). The time-average peak divertor heat flux in these plasmas is found to scale as d α ( P NBI I p )( B p,mp / B p,div ). The linear power dependence suggests that the plasma sheath at the targets is primarily responsible for limiting the parallel energy flow, while the I p variation may mean that the radial energy transport in the SOL decreases with increasing plasma current, just as it does in the core. |
