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.

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

Contributions to Plasma Physics, Volume 60, Issue 5-6, June-July 2020., 2020
Abstract SOLPS‐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 ...

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.

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 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.
