Blob sizes and velocities in the Alcator C-Mod scrape-off layer
Kube, Ralph; Garcia, Odd Erik; LaBombard, Brian; Terry, J.L; Zweben, Stewart (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)Gas-puff imaging data is used to investigate the dynamics of blob-like structures in the scrape-off layer of Alcator C-Mod. A blob-tracking algorithm is developed and used to compute blob propagation velocities and cross-field sizes for a series of discharges where the line-averaged particle density View the MathML source is varied. We find that the mean radial blob velocity increases from View the ... -
Blob Sizes and Velocities in the Alcator C-Mod Scrape-Off Layer
Kube, Ralph; Garcia, Odd Erik; LaBombard, Brian; Madsen, Jens; Terry, James L.; Zweben, Stewart (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2012)A new blob-tracking algorithm for the GPI diagnostic installed in the outboard-midplane of Alcator C-Mod is developed. I t tracks large-amplitude fluctuations propagating through the scrape-off layer and calculates blob sizes and velocities. We compare the results of this method to a blob velocity scaling from a simple blob-model for sheath-connected blobs. We further present initial results from a ... -
