Description

Tungsten plasma transport along the magnetic field calculated with the TOKES code has been validated using dedicated experiment in a plasma gun under the ELM-like conditions. The plasma velocity is in a good agreement with the measured one. The ion composition of the simulated tungsten plasma is in a qualitative agreement with the one reconstructed from the measured spectrum of the tungsten plasma, probably because of rather incomplete database for tungsten ions radiation. Nevertheless, it has been identified the radiation from cold and hot tungsten plasma regions with ion composition maxima at W7+–W8+ and W13+–W16+ correspondingly
