The following topics are intended to be covered by the workshop:
Basic plasma edge theory
- Magnetic boundary structure including magnetic stochasticity and sheath effects
- Edge transport parallel and perpendicular to magnetic field, electric field effects, instabilities and turbulence
- Neutrals and multi-ion theories, radiation
- Plasma detachment including cold and dense buffer plasmas
- New edge-relevant numerical and computational methods
Models of special phenomena and edge control
- Hot spots, radiative cooling
- L-H transition, blobs, ELMs (including control), and pedestal structure
- Flow patterns, momentum transport, and impurity retention, biasing and shaping of targets
- Dusty effects
Integrated plasma modelling
- Kinetic and Monte Carlo codes, Multifluid codes
- Effects of plasma edge/core coupling
- Validation of edge plasma theories
