Abstract

The effects of the strong X‐point magnetic shear, of the orientation of the divertor legs with respect to the major axis, and of the tilt of the divertor plates with respect to the poloidal field on plasma dynamics in the divertor region have been studied. The linear stability analysis of flute and resistive ballooning modes is presented for the X‐point geometry, with emphasis on the private flux region. The dynamics of isolated plasma filaments (“blobs”) passing near the X point is described. In both cases the correct accounting for the geometry turns out to be critically important.

The neutrals in a tokamak divertor in the so-called "detached" mode of operation may be in a kinetic regime (long mean free path) in some regions and in a fluid regime (short mean free path) elsewhere. For example, a kinetic description is necessary in the thin ionization front, while the cold neutr
