Self-organization and transport in electrostatic turbulence of tokamak scrape-off-layer

  • 1. CNRS-Universite de Provence, Marseille (France)

Description

A model of turbulence driven by resistive interchange instability in the tokamak scrape-off-layer is proposed and investigated numerically. Large scale coherent structures are observed in the saturated regime of turbulence. The use of the proper orthogonal decomposition method and conditional sampling allows us to extract and identify the coherent structures. It also clarifies the role played by these structures in the radial transport. These results issued from a simplified model of turbulence are compared to experimental data
