Study of Carbon Impurity Transport at SOL in EAST

Transport of carbon in the edge plasma of EAST with a heating power Pin of 8 MW is studied using DIVIMP code. The background plasmas for DIVIMP are taken from the results by using B2.5-Eirene code. For different plasma densities at the core-SOL interface and the different divertor operational regimes, namely low recycling, high recycling and detachment, the simulated results show that the impurity density in SOL is higher for the high recycling regime than that for the low recycling regime, while impurity density in SOL is lower for the detachment regime than that for both the low and high recycling regimes.
