Abstract :
The 3-D geometry of radiation losses is investigated in the Tore Supra ergodic divertor. Measurements from passive bolometers located on the divertor coils show evidence of toroidal and poloidal radiation modulations. They were interpreted using a 3-D code solving heat transport equation that gives the whole geometry of plasma radiation in a divertor configuration close to Tore Supra. The results of the code are in qualitative agreement with the measurements and they show that the total radiated power is underestimated when inferred from standard bolometers located between divertor modules. Maximum of radiation in front of the modules is explained by the multiplication of radiative zones at this place due to the intersection of field lines with the vessel wall. This effect leads to non-monotonic temperature profiles along field lines in the boundary plasma.
