3D simulations of turbulent mixing in a simplified slab-divertor geometry

Three-dimensional simulations of plasma turbulence have been run using the STORM module of BOUT  + + in a simple slab geometry aimed at representing a single, isolated tokamak divertor leg. Turbulence is driven primarily by the Kelvin-Helmholtz mechanism due to the sheared ExB flow that forms around...
