Abstract
The model of blob-filament propagation in the scrape-off layer (SOL) of a tokamak is extended to include objects that carry a large net unidirectional current parallel to the magnetic field. Under experimentally realistic conditions, the blob-filament structure and propagation are influenced by magnetostatic forces. Some aspects of the model may be relevant to the SOL propagation of edge-localized modes.Keywords
