By use of Lagrangian tracers propagated on 2D simulations of Scrape-Off Layer (SOL) turbulence, we are able to determine the non-local fractional-advection, fractional-diffusion equation (FADE) coefficients for a number of equilibrium cases- Solution of the resultant FADEs shows good agreement with the simulation mean density profiles. We detail…
Shear flows in turbulent fluids have been known to act as transport barriers for some time. An example of a shear flow generating mechanism is the E×B shear in plasma, which has a substantial impact on the dynamics of magnetic confinement fusion devices. The influence of this may be seen in the scrape-off layer (SOL) where blobs or filaments may b…
