Abstract

A phenomenological model has been derived from the experimental findings that blobs are generated in a distinct region close to the separatrix by a dominant edge instability and that there seems to be a relation between this instability and the blobs in terms of detection frequency and size. A comparison with experimental detection rates has been done for ASDEX Upgrade L-mode dis-using analytical scaling laws for δb and τd. charges. A good overall agreement was achieved, using the kinetic profiles as only input.
