摘要
Typical B-direction dependent asymmetries observed in the limiter and island SOL of W7-AS low-density ECRH discharges are shortly reviewed and explained in terms of classical drifts. While grad-B drifts are responsible for the up/down asymmetries of the limiter load, E x B drifts associated with temperature inhomogeneities in the plasma give rise to asymmetric plasma distributions in the limiter and island SOL. After a careful analysis of the transport implications of these drifts, simple ID and 2D models have been defined, which reproduce consistently the experimental observations. The main results are confirmed by more rigorous treatment based on the 3D Monte Carlo transport code EMC3. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
