Breaking the poloidal symmetry of the magnetic shear induced tilt of turbulent structures, by either divertor X-point resistivity or limiter positions, can lead to a finite (residual) contribution to the flux-surface averaged radial-binormal Reynolds stress. This residual stress supports or works against the radial electric field at the plasma edge of a tokamak. The impact of divertor geometry on the poloidal pattern of the Reynolds stress is studied by flux-coordinate-independent fluid simulations. Clear modifications of the Reynolds stress are found due to the magnetic shear in the confined region. The impact of different poloidal limiter positions on the radial electric field and the Reynolds stress is studied by means of magnetic field aligned gyrofluid simulations. Only if the limiter is close to the outer midplane can its position have a substantial effect on the radial electric field.Breaking the poloidal symmetry of the magnetic shear induced tilt of turbulent structures, by either divertor X-point resistivity or limiter positions, can lead to a finite (residual) contribution to the flux-surface averaged radial-binormal Reynolds stress.
