Neoclassical impurity transport in the tokamak transport barrier and pedestal with SOLPS-ITER
Nuclear FusionNew neoclassical corrections are implemented in the SOLPS-ITER code package and can be used for modeling with drifts. These corrections are introduced to obtain standard neoclassical impurity flux in the core for non-steep main ion density and ...

Stabilization of EMC3-EIRENE for detachment conditions and comparison to SOLPS-ITER
Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2019 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.

SOLPS-ITER simulations to study the impact of aspect ratio on edge fueling neutrals in tokamaks
Nuclear Materials and EnergyIn this paper, we examine the role of the aspect ratio on the neutral penetration and poloidal distribution for fixed magnetic geometry and plasma profiles using SOLPS-ITER. We start from an H-mode discharge from MAST (Kirk et al., 2012), with its aspect
