Possible influence of near SOL plasma on the H-mode power threshold

A strong effect of divertor configuration on the threshold power for the L-H transition (PLH) was observed in recent JET experiments in the new ITER-like Wall (ILW) [1–3]. Following a series of EDGE2D-EIRENE code simulations with Be impurity and drifts a possible mechanism for the PLH variation with...
