| contents | The density limit is one of the major obstacles to achieving the desired fusion performance in tokamaks. However, the underlying physics mechanism for its recently observed power dependence in experiments has not been well understood or predicted in theory. In this work, the power dependent scalings of density limit are obtained based on the plasma-wall self-organization model [D.F. Escande 2022 NF], which are able to match the power dependence of density limits in multiple tokamak devices. The key factors influencing the power dependence are found to be the plasma-wall sputtering and the particle confinement time. The effects of non-sputtered impurities and fusion products are further evaluated. This PWSO-density limit model is then extended to the burning plasma regime and used to predict the conditions for entering burning plasma. |
