摘要: A general method is developed for calculating boundary plasma fluctuations across a magnetic separatrix in tokamak with divertor or limiter. The slab model, which assumes periodic the edge reaching limiter plate scrape‐off layer (SOL), should provide good estimate, if radial extent of fluctuation quantities to small compared that given by finite particle banana orbit. Laplace transform used solving initial value problem. electron‐temperature‐gradient (ETG)‐driven instability found grow like t−1/2eγmt.
