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.

Evaluation of ITER divertor shunts as a synthetic diagnostic for detachment control [PDF]
Nuclear Fusion, 2023 Reliable diagnostics that measure the detached state of the ITER divertor plasma will be necessary to control heat flux to the divertor targets during steady state, burning plasma operation. This paper conducts an initial exploration into the feasibility

Interchange‐turbulence‐based radial transport model for SOLPS‐ITER: A COMPASS case study [PDF]
Contributions To Plasma Physics, 2020 AbstractMean‐field plasma edge transport codes such as SOLPS‐ITER heavily rely on ad‐hoc radial diffusion coefficients to approximately model anomalous transport. Such coefficients are experimentally determined and vary between different machines, and also depend on the operational regime and plasma location within the same device.

SOLPS-ITER simulation of an X-point radiator in TCV
, 2023 SOLPS-ITER simulation is performed to reproduce the X-point radiator recently observed in nitrogen-seeded TCV experiments, which is a scenario that may be favorable to solve the power exhaust problems in future fusion devices.
