Abstract

The emerging understanding of ELM and between-ELM divertor heat transport and radiation in the SF divertor from NSTX and DIII-D experiments provides support to the snowflake divertor configuration as a promising concept for divertor heat flux mitigation in future magnetic fusion devices. Near-future experiments are planned at DIII-D to study magnetic feedback control, pedestal evolution and parallel heat flux distribution in the SF configurations. The SF divertor is also being considered as a leading candidate for heat flux mitigation in the NSTX Upgrade tokamak presently under construction at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory [14, 17].
