Drifts, currents, and power scrape-off width in SOLPS-ITER modeling of DIII-D

The effects of drifts and associated flows and currents on the width of the parallel heat flux channel (λq) in the tokamak scrape-off layer (SOL) are analyzed using the SOLPS-ITER 2D fluid transport code. Motivation is supplied by Goldston’s heuristic drift (HD) model for λq, which yields the same a...
