Critical issues for modeling dust transport in tokamaks.
Dust produced in tokamaks is an important issue for fusion. Dust particles can introduce health and safety issues when in the same time can have an impact on reactor performance. Apart from the associated problems there are also potential benefits that make the better understanding of their behavior important. In this work the dust transport code Dust in TOKamakS will be used to explore the effect that variations in the plasma background and the physical model, describing the plasma-dust interaction, have on their predicted trajectories.
