Transonic ablation flow regimes of high-Z pellets

Plasma Physics 2015-12-08 v1

Abstract

In this letter, we report results of numerical studies of the ablation of argon and neon pellets in tokamaks and compare them with theoretical predictions and studies of deuterium pellets. Results demonstrate the influence of atomic physics processes on the pellet ablation process.
