مستخلص: A novel impurity transport model that approximates SOL turbulence as a fluctuating poloidal electric field is shown to be an acceptable replacement for the traditional approach of assigning an arbitrary radial diffusion coefficient to the impurity ions. The model is implemented in the DIVIMP impurity transport code and applied to an L-Mode tungsten divertor experiment on DIII-D. The poloidal electric field is represented as fluctuating between ±1000 V m−1 based on previous measurements. The resulting intermittent vr = E θ × BT transport causes ions to transport both into the core as well as into the far-SOL. Simultaneous agreement with estimates of the W density just inside the separatrix as well as in the far-SOL is obtained (nW ∼ 1014 m−3 and nW ∼ 1012 m−3, respectively). Prompt re-deposition of the W ions was necessary to obtain agreement (fredep ∼ 99%). We conclude that simulating impurity transport using a physics-based approximation for turbulence in the SOL, versus arbitrarily assigning diffusion coefficients, may enable better reactor scale predictions of core impurity contamination.
