F. Militello, J.T. Omotani
TL;DR
This paper introduces a theoretical framework connecting SOL density profiles with filament dynamics, explaining profile flattening, broadening, and fluctuation amplitude increase through filament statistical behavior.
Contribution
It develops a novel theoretical model linking filament dynamics to SOL profile features, providing a rigorous understanding of profile shaping mechanisms.
Findings
Profiles flatten and broaden due to filament behavior
Relative fluctuation amplitude increases radially
Framework explains SOL profile modifications
Abstract
A theoretical framework is developed to link the density profiles in the Scrape Off Layer (SOL) with the fluctuations (filaments) that generate them. The framework is based on the dynamics of independent filaments and their statistical behaviour and can be used to rigorously understand the mechanisms that lead to flattening and broadening of the SOL profiles as well as the radial increase of the relative fluctuation amplitude.
