Plasma edge simulations including realistic wall geometry with SOLPS-ITER
Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2021 In plasma edge simulations using the SOLPS-ITER code, the simulated Scrape-Off Layer plasma domain has historically been restricted to magnetic flux surfaces contacting divertor targets at both ends. We present here a newly developed numerical solver for

Quantification of the uncertainty arising from atomic physics in edge plasmas
Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2022 It is clear that atomic physics rates are important for understanding the edge plasma — but how important is the uncertainty in these rates in contributing to the uncertainty in simulations of the edge plasma?Standard Uncertainty Quantification (UQ ...
