Three dimensional simulations of plasma filaments in the scrape off layer: A comparison with models of reduced dimensionality

Three dimensional simulations of plasma filaments in the scrape off layer: A comparison with models of reduced dimensionality

This paper presents simulations of isolated 3D filaments in a slab geometry obtained using a newly developed 3D reduced fluid code, written using the BOUT++ framework. First, systematic scans were performed to investigate how the dynamics of a filament are affected by its amplitude, perpendicular size, and parallel extent. The …
