25th Joint EU-US Transport Task Force Meeting

The ultimate goal of the EU-US Transport Task Force (TTF) is to develop a physics-based understanding of particle, momentum, and heat transport in magnetic fusion devices. This understanding must be of sufficient depth as to allow the development of predictive models that can be validated against experiment and used to simulate the future performance of burning plasmas in ITER and next-step fusion energy reactors.

Topics: • Ion and electron thermal transport • Fast ion transport and impact on confinement • Particle and impurity transport • Momentum transport and intrinsic rotation • The physics of the L-H and H-L transitions • Turbulence and transport in the pedestal and ITBs • Transport processes in the scrape off layer • 3-D equilibrium effects on transport
