Physics basis and design of the ITER plasma-facing components

TLDR
The ITER PFC design has now reached a rather mature stage following the 2007 ITER Design Review as discussed by the authors, and the key elements of the design, reviews the physics drivers, essentially thermal load specifications, which have defined the concept and discusses a selection of material and design issues.

Design assessment of tungsten as an upper panel plasma facing material in ITER

TL;DR: In this article, the first wall at the top of the ITER tokamaks is armoured with tungsten instead of beryllium, and the DIVIMP code is used to determine the impurity distributions.

Effects of carbon impurities on the power radiation and tungsten target erosion in EAST

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the edge fluid-plasma/kinetic-neutral code SOLPS5.0-EIRENE99, with emphasis on the C impurity transport and its effect on the power radiation and erosion of the upper W divertor target.

Transport-driven Scrape-Off-Layer flows and the boundary conditions imposed at the magnetic separatrix in a tokamak plasma

TL;DR: In this paper, topology-dependent flow boundary conditions on the confined plasma were investigated in the low and high-field side scrape-off-layer (SOL) regions in Alcator C-Mod.

Fluctuations and transport in the TCV scrape-off layer

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the particle and radial flux density statistics in the scrape-off layer of TCV plasmas and direct comparison with two-dimensional interchange turbulence simulations at the outer midplane.
