Gas injectors (IMAGE)
Caption
Six gas valves, shown here as yellow-pink puffs, provided the most effective cooling in highly sophisticated computer models created using a PPPL computer code known as M3D-C1. This code creates simulations from slices through the plasma that are unevenly spaced. In the image above, these slices are shown as vertical lines. The researchers intentionally generated more slices closer to the gas valves as they believe this is where the most important dynamics occur.
