Impact of drifts in the ASDEX upgrade upper open divertor using SOLPS‐ITER [PDF]

Contributions to Plasma Physics, 2020
AbstractSOLPS‐ITER L‐mode‐like simulations with the full set of currents and drift velocities activated, and fluid neutrals have been carried out to interpret experimental results obtained in AUG. Drifts are critical to quantitatively reproduce the experimental results; however, simulations without drifts can also reproduce some trends qualitatively ...

Numerical error analysis of SOLPS-ITER simulations of EAST

Nuclear Fusion, 2022
Plasma edge simulations with codes like SOLPS-ITER are widely employed to interpret fusion experiments. However, numerical errors appearing in such simulations are rarely investigated, despite their potential large impact on simulation results.

SOLPS-ITER modeling of beryllium trace impurity in ITER [PDF]

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
Beryllium transport modeling was carried out in the trace impurity regime by SOLPS-ITER code for tokamak ITER. It is valuable for developing of diagnostics protection from beryllium deposition.

Validation of SOLPS-ITER simulations against the TCV-X21 reference case

Nuclear Fusion
This paper presents a quantitative validation of Scrape-Off Layer Plasma Simulation-ITER (SOLPS-ITER) simulations against the TCV-X21 reference case and provides insights into the neutral dynamics and ionization source distribution in this scenario.

First SOLPS-ITER modelling of an X-point radiator in ITER

Nuclear Fusion
For the first time, an X -point radiating (XPR) regime using neon (Ne) seed impurity has been obtained in ITER modelling with the SOLPS-ITER code, including fluid drifts.

SOLPS-ITER validation with TCV L-mode discharges

Physics of Plasmas, 2021
This work presents a quantitative test of SOLPS-ITER simulations against tokamak à configuration variable (TCV) L-mode experiments. These simulations account for drifts, currents, kinetic neutrals, and carbon impurities providing the most complete edge transport simulations for TCV to date.

SOLPS-ITER modeling of ASDEX Upgrade L-mode detachment states

Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, 2021
Abstract SOLPS-ITER is used to model ASDEX Upgrade L-mode detachment states including the onset of detachment, the fluctuating detachment, and the complete detachment states, considering drifts and mimicking filamentary convective transport with a radial outward velocity in the low field side.

SOLPS-ITER modeling of divertor scenarios for EU-DEMO

Nuclear Fusion, 2021
We developed a first single null divertor scenario for EU-DEMO with the SOLPS-ITER code, including all charge states of D, He and Ar in the simulation and kinetic analysis of the neutral gas, but still leaving out drifts. Our results suggest that a partially detached divertor condition can indeed be obtained, with a corresponding peak heat flux on ...
