Adrian studied the edges of the plasmas in HSX, with a strong emphasis on divertor flows, particle edge fluxes and edge plasma parameters. In particular, comparisons and verification of models of the plasma divertors (EMC3-EIRENE) which at present do not include the effects of local electric fields on the flows and particle fluxes.
