Time-resolved flux distribution has been measured with a rotatable col
lector probe in an ohmically heated divertor discharge of deuterium. T
he transient flux at the beginning of the discharge is found to affect
largely the time-integrated flux distribution in the whole SOL. Withi
n a middle part of the SOL region the spatial flux distribution of deu
terium is found to have two exponentially decreasing components, due t
o a shielding effect of a fixed limiter.
