(Received 11 October 1989; accepted 1 March 1990)

The particle and energy fluxes of electrons at the boundary of a plasma in contact with a perfectly absorbing plate are considered. In general, the fluxes are shown not to be determined by the plasma temperature and density at the plate but rather by a convolution of the plasma profiles in the vicinity of the plate. A simple empirical expression is proposed for the nonlocal fluxes, which approximately reproduces the results of a full kinetic calculation. The implications of this, to divertor plasmas near the neutralizer plate, are discussed. Physics of Fluids B: Plasma Physics is copyrighted by The American Institute of Physics.

Temporal and spatial measurements of electron heat transport are made in the University of California Davis AURORA device (J. H. Rogers, Ph.D. dissertation, University of California, Davis, 1987). In AURORA, a microwave pulse heats a region of underdense, collisional, plasma (n/ncr <~1, where ncr =1.8×1010 cm–3 is the critical density, Te0 [approximately-equal-to]0.15 eV, and the electron scattering mean free path lambda[perpendicular]>~2 cm). In this region, strong thermal heating (Tc <~0.7 eV) as well as suprathermal heating (Th[approximately-equal-to]3 eV) is observed. The strong heating results in a steep temperature gradient that violates the approximations of classical heat diffusion theory (LT/lambda[perpendicular]>~3 for thermal electrons, where LT=Tc([partial-derivative]Tc/[partial-derivative]z)–1 is the cold electron temperature scale length. The time evolution of the electron temperature profile is measured using Langmuir probes. The measured relaxation of the temperature gradient after the microwave pulse is compared to calculations using the Fokker–Planck International code [Phys. Rev. Lett. 49, 1936 (1982)] and the multigroup, flux-limited, target design code lasnex [Comm. Plasma Phys. 2, 51 (1975)]. The electron distribution function at the end of the microwave pulse is used as initial conditions for both codes. The Fokker–Planck calculations are found to agree very well with the measurements. However, the flux-limited diffusion calculations do not agree with the measurements for any value of the flux limiter.
