Περίληψη: A particle-tracing approach is employed to investigate the transport dynamics of W ions affected by electromagnetic perturbation produced by a Li pellet induced ELM in EAST. The electromagnetic perturbations from ELMs obtained from BOUT++ three-field simulations, are interpolated onto the grid using by particle tracing code as input for full-orbit simulation of W ions. It is found that a distribution of W 20 + ions can be a good representative for the distribution of W ions with multiple but close charge states. The results reveal that the E × B drift is the primary driving force for W ions transport during the ELM and that the perturbed electric field is a dominant determining factor. Further study on the effects of pellet deposition location indicates that pellets deposited on the pedestal top are more effective in expelling W ions from the core plasma region and screening W ions from influx. Radial velocity analysis indicates that ELM perturbations tend to increase the average velocity magnitude and diffusion coefficients of W ions. It is also observed that W ions have higher radial velocity magnitude as they approach the separatrix, which facilitates their expulsion from the boundary region. Simulations of discharge scenarios with W ions distributing at different initial poloidal locations reveal that those initially deposited on the low-field side are the most prone to the loss of W ions.
