The dataset from the Plasma Science and Fusion Center Dataverse contains simulation results comparing electron thermal conduction models in a 1D ITER-like scrape-off layer scenario. Authored by J. L. Baker et al., it models neon impurity seeding to study detachment onset using Hermes-3 multi-fluid SOL code. The dataset was last updated on June 23, 2026.
Use Cases
- Benchmarking classical Spitzer-Härm and flux-limited electron conduction models against non-local SNB models based on the described simulation setup.
- Studying the impact of non-local thermal transport on key detachment processes based on the described scenario.
- Analyzing the competing effects of flux-limiting and impurity seeding on target plasma temperatures as described.
- Calibrating fluid detachment models for scrape-off layer plasmas based on the comparison of detachment onset neon fractions.
Strengths
- Compares three specific electron conduction models: nonlocal (SNB), classical Spitzer-Härm (SH), and flux-limited (FL).
- Simulates a defined medium collisionality scenario (S∥/λe ≈ 25 upstream) for an ITER-like tokamak.
- Models neon impurity seeding at increasing percentages until detachment is observed.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data is from a 1D simulation, which may not capture full 3D plasma dynamics.
