Speed-up of SOLPS-ITER code for tokamak edge modeling [PDF]
Account of drifts and currents dramatically decreases the accessible time step for the integration of time dependent equations of SOLPS-ITER code for edge modeling. Running the code with sophisticated EIRENE Monte-Carlo model for neutrals and large number of fluid equations for multiple ion species makes the computation time unacceptably long.

Exploring the edge operating space of fusion reactors using reduced physics models
Reduced physics models within SOLPS have been used to explore the edge operating space of fusion reactors by building a database of simulations for various input powers and various combinations of impurity puffing.

Edge codes such as SOLPS coupled to neutral codes such as EIRENE have become so comprehensive and sophisticated that they now constitute, in effect, ‘code-experiments’ that, as for actual experiments, can benefit from interpretation using simple models ...

SOLPS-ITER modelling of ITER edge plasma with drifts and currents [PDF]
Using the new version of the SOLPS plasma boundary code package, SOLPS-ITER, this paper presents the first ever simulations of the ITER burning baseline H-mode edge plasma with drifts and currents activated. Neon (Ne) seeded discharges for divertor power dissipation are considered. The results for divertor and scrape-off layer (SOL) parameters with and

Multi-machine benchmark of the self-consistent 1D scrape-off layer model DIV1D from stagnation point to target with SOLPS-ITER [PDF]
This paper extends a 1D dynamic physics-based model of the scrape-off layer (SOL) plasma, DIV1D, to include the core SOL and possibly a second target. The extended model is benchmarked on 1D mapped SOLPS-ITER simulations to find input settings for DIV1D ...

SOLPS-ITER simulations of a CPS-based liquid metal divertor for the EU DEMO: Li vs. Sn [PDF]
In this work, we study the effect of installing a liquid metal divertor (LMD) using a capillary-porous structure in the EU DEMO tokamak within the same envelope of the baseline solid divertor.

SOLPS-ITER modeling of deuterium throughput impact on the ITER SOL plasma
The impact of the ionization source in the ITER far SOL associated with main chamber deuterium puffing on the overall SOL performance is studied numerically using SOLPS-ITER modeling. It is found out that this source can have significant influence on the

SOLPS-ITER modification for impurity transport modelling in the tokamak pedestal region
Kinetic corrections to SOLPS-ITER fluid equations are made to extend their applicability for description of the neoclassical part of impurity transport to collisionless regimes of the main ions.

Stabilization of EMC3-EIRENE for detachment conditions and comparison to SOLPS-ITER
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.
