3D global impurity transport modeling with WallDYN and EMC3-Eirene
The global impurity migration code WallDYN was coupled to the 3D scrape off layer plasma solver EMC3-Eirene in order to make WallDYN applicable to 3D, non-toroidally symmetric, geometries.

Stabilization of EMC3-EIRENE for detachment conditions and comparison to SOLPS-ITER
Numerical access to cold divertor conditions in tokamaks with EMC3-EIRENE has been proven to be challenging, but is now possible for the first time after a linearization of the electron energy sink term from interaction with neutral gas.

Proposal of an alternative upper divertor in ASDEX Upgrade supported by EMC3-EIRENE simulations
We discuss the benefits of installing a pair of in-vessel coils with currents |Ifx| ≲ 50 kAt in the upper divertor of ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) to study a series of ‘alternative’ divertor configurations, like the Snowflake (SF) and the X-divertor (XD), that ...

Abstract The distribution pattern of the connection length in the divertor region of Heliotron J was calculated by the field line tracing method. A multifold layer structure, characterized by the range of connection length, was revealed to interpret the response of the transport of the lower‐charged impurity ions to the divertor structure.

A novel method for treating MAR in EMC3-Eirene, and first applications to W7-X
This paper presents a novel ‘prediction-correction method’ for treating molecule-assisted recombination (MAR) in the three-dimensional (3D) boundary plasma transport code—EMC3-Eirene.

ASDEX Upgrade is preparing a hardware modification of its upper divertor in order to study alternative divertor configurations, like the X-divertor (XD) and the snowflake divertor (SF), that are discussed as a possible solution for the power exhaust ...

Previous simulations with the kinetic ion transport module of EMC3-EIRENE for Nitrogen seeding in a medium density ITER L-mode scenario showed that the currently simplified Coulomb collision model of EIRENE leads to a strongly overestimated confinement ...

Transport simulations of linear plasma generators with the B2.5-Eirene and EMC3-Eirene codes
Linear plasma generators are cost effective facilities to simulate divertor plasma conditions of present and future fusion reactors. The codes B2.5-Eirene and EMC3-Eirene were extensively used for design studies of the planned Material Plasma Exposure eXperiment (MPEX).

Numerical accuracy and convergence with EMC3-EIRENE [PDF]
The iterative Monte Carlo (MC) code EMC3-EIRENE is frequently used for plasma edge simulations in 3D applications. So far, a quantitative evaluation of the numerical quality of the code results remains an open issue. In this paper, we demonstrate a framework for the practical assessment of accuracy and convergence with EMC3-EIRENE. Moreover, we provide
