Article: New nuclear engineering study findings have been reported by scientists at University of Dusseldorf.

"In DIII-D the splitting and deformation of the separatrix due to externally applied resonant magnetic perturbations is calculated using a vacuum field line integration code (TRIP3D-MAFOT). The resulting footprint pattern on the divertor target plates is shown in high resolution by contour plots of the connection lengths and penetration depths of the magnetic field lines," scientists in Dusseldorf, Germany report.

"Substructures inside the divertor footprint stripes are discovered. Regions of deep penetrating long connecting field lines, which are related to the internal resonances by their manifolds, alternate with regions of regular short connecting field ...
