Abstract

AbstractThe role of “momentum removal” (the drag force on the plasma ion flow) in divertor detachment is considered and analysed in detail. This analysis of the 2D modelling results shows that the drag force cannot reduce the power and particle flux to the target directly. However, it is essential for creating the conditions for efficient radiation and volumetric plasma recombination, which in turn do the job. (© 2015 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
