The aim of this paper is to study the influences of plasma heating and plasma density on impurity production and transport during the plasma-termination phase. We have analyzed the ramp-down (RD) phase of a set of representative high-current JET ITER-like wall discharges: #92 437 (disrupted) and #92 442 (soft landing), characterized by a high plasma current of I-p = 3.5MA. Analysis is performed for different time slots within the RD phase, corresponding to different levels of electron line density and auxiliary heating power. Since the deuterium gas fluxes are different, the influence of the separatrix density is also analyzed. The main conclusion from the simulations is the observation that for the same average-electron density, a decrease of the separatrix density leads to an increase of the plasma temperature at the divertor plate, leading to increased W production and consequently to a larger W concentration and radiation in the core. When the central electron temperature approaches the 2 keV level, corresponding to the maximum W and Ni cooling rate, the radiation in the plasma’s center is enhanced. Ni radiation is more important in the RD phase.
