Abstract

This research investigated fuel particle balance during long duration discharge in an all-metal plasma facing wall (PFW)through intensive QUEST execution. A simple wall model including the plasma-induced deposition layer that creates hydrogen (H)barriers, called the H barrier model, was established. A simple calculation, based on a combination of H state rate equations and the H barrier model, was applied to real plasma in the early phase of its longest discharge. The model accurately reconstructed the evolutions of electron density and wall-stored H over time, proper values are chosen for the parameters that are difficult to determine experimentally. Comparative calculations that used the H barrier and a fully reflective models, predicted significant impacts of wall models on the plasma density time response and value of electron density, indicating that a proper wall model should be developed for all-metal PFW devices.
