Liquid metal divertors are expected to have higher thermal load tolerance compared with solid divertors. Precise prediction of liquid metal behavior using magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation enables the practical designing of a liquid metal divertor. The aim of this study is to confirm the accuracy of an MHD simulation that is developed for liquid metal flow prediction. As a benchmark test of the MHD simulation, a comparison of the Galinstan flowing through a vertical magnetic field and the simulated results was performed, and qualitative reproduction using the MHD simulation was confirmed. In addition, the source of wave creation and the causes of failure of the quantitative reproduction were investigated, which is may caused by the variations of the Galinstan surface tension.

One of the greatest challenges of simulating the high heat flux on the divertor in linear plasma devices is the achievement of ion temperatures of > 100 eV under high densities (≥1019 m−3). The slow wave in the ion cyclotron range of frequency has been employed for ion heating in GAMMA 10/PDX and demonstrated its high efficiency at middle densities of 1018 m−3. However, at high densities (≥1019 m−3), exciting the slow wave in the center of the plasma by external antennas becomes challenging. Alternatively, we have demonstrated the excitation of the difference-frequency (DF) slow wave using two high-density-applicable fast waves. In this study, we first applied the charge-exchange neutral particle analyzer (CX-NPA) to a DF wave heating experiment. Even when the bulk temperature did not increase significantly, the high-energy ions in the > 0.5 keV range were measured during the experiment. Such high-energy ions were only measured in the central line of sight of CX-NPA, indicating that the power deposition from the DF wave was largely centered and differed greatly from the normal heating scheme using external antennas. This result will motivate further pursue of exploiting nonlinearity of plasma media to produce different heating accessibilities.

A plasma recombination experiment was carried out using the linear electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma device NUMBER as a preliminary step for forming a detached plasma. The electron density measured by an electrostatic probe in a divertor-simulated region was successfully increased up to approximately 6×1017 m−3. This increase was realized by installing an additional gas feed system to the region and using a circular polarizer to control the microwave polarization. Passive spectroscopic measurements performed on the high-density plasma yielded line spectra of He I 23P−n3D for the principal quantum number n ≤13, which are characterstic of helium recombining plasma. The line spectra were used to calculate an electron temperature of approximately 0.055 eV and an electron density of approximately 1.33 × 1018 m−3 by the Boltzmann plot method and Saha–Boltzmann equation, respectively.

Systematic experiments were carried out in the 23rd Large Helical Device experiment campaign to explore the interaction between fast ions and ion-scale turbulence focusing on the impact of varying the power of the neutral beam (NB) injection. During the NB heating, two distinct phases of turbulence reduction were observed. The first phase was a transient reduction of about 10 msec immediately following the initiation of the NB injection. This reduction in turbulence was noticeable even while the electron density and temperature profiles remained nearly unchanged. The second phase involved a continuous reduction that maintained a lower turbulence level throughout the duration of the NB injection. The physics mechanisms underlying these phenomena are not fully understood yet. However, it is likely that two distinct processes of turbulence stabilization, each corresponding to the transient and continuous reduction phases, are at work due to the influence of the fast ions.
