Abstract Impurity transport is numerically investigated for different types of impurity, such as helium (He), argon (Ar), and tungsten (W). Both turbulent neoclassical transports are treated self-consistently using the full- f gyrokinetic software GYSELA. For a light impurity mainly controlled by turbulence, while found to be dominant in case heavy The impact poloidal asymmetry density also studied detail it strong high charge due its Boltzmann-type response. Such might lead core accumulation impurities reducing thermal screening factor transport. two main contributions transport—Pfirsch–Schlüter (PS) flux banana–plateau (BP) flux—are studied. Depending on their mass ( A ) Z ), magnitudes each determined accordingly. Tungsten shows PS compared other impurities, BP argon. An analytical model including effect with numerical simulation good agreement between them.
