3-D Fluid Simulations <strong>of</strong><br />

Plasma Edge Turbulence<br />

BOUT (X.Q. Xu, )<br />

• Braginskii — collisional, two <strong>fluid</strong><br />

electromagnetic equations<br />

• Realistic ×-point geometry<br />

(open <strong>and</strong> closed flux surfaces)<br />

• BOUT is being applied <strong>to</strong> DIII-D,<br />

C-Mod, NSTX, …<br />

• There is LOTS <strong>of</strong> edge fluctuation data!<br />

⇒ An Excellent opportunity for<br />

code validation<br />
