Kinetic simulations of electron heat flux in the scrape-off layer

Parallel electron heat flux qe|| on open field lines is studied with the 1D2V kinetic Vlasov-Fokker-Planck (VFP) code KIPP [15–17]. In order to assess the importance of kinetic effects on the scrape-off layer heat transport in a systematic way, a series of self-similar KIPP cases with the stagnation...
