Global SOLPS-ITER and ERO2.0 coupling in a linear device for the study of plasma–wall interaction in helium plasma

Nuclear Fusion, 2023
Plasma–wall interaction (PWI) is a great challenge in the development of a nuclear fusion power plant. To investigate phenomena like erosion of plasma-facing components, impurity transport and redeposition, one needs reliable numerical tools for the ...

Towards assessment of plasma edge transport in Neon seeded plasmas in disconnected double null configuration in EAST with SOLPS-ITER

Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2021
Energy dissipation in the plasma edge is key for future tokamaks. The potential of neon as radiating seeding species in disconnected double null (DDN) configuration is assessed in EAST discharges in high confinement mode (H-mode).

Experimental and simulation study of helium plasma transport during ion cyclotron resonance heating in MPS-LD

Nuclear Fusion
The linear plasma devices (LPDs) can provide a good platform to experimentally simulate the divertor physics. MPS-LD is a new LPD, which uses ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) to raise the ion temperature ( T _i ).

A reduced model for the ITER divertor based on SOLPS solutions for ITER Q = 10 baseline conditions: A. identifying options for the control parameters

Nuclear Fusion, 2022
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 ...

Transport in the tokamak - reactor edge plasma with strong collisionality

Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2022
In detached divertor regimes, especially in future tokamak-reactors, plasma in the divertor is strongly collisional. When ion-ion and ion-neutral collision frequencies become comparable with the ion gyrofrequency, plasma transport is strongly affected by

Mechanisms of XPR formation from SOLPS-ITER modeling

Physics of Plasmas
The early stages of X-point radiator (XPR) regime formation in a medium-size metal-wall tokamak with a single-null configuration and vertical divertor targets are discussed in detail, using the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak as an example. Based on the SOLPS-ITER modeling of ASDEX Upgrade with nitrogen (N) seeding, it is shown that the mechanisms associated ...

SOLPS-ITER modeling with activated drifts for a snowflake divertor in ASDEX Upgrade

Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, 2020
Abstract We report on the first SOLPS-ITER simulations of a low-field side snowflake minus (LFS SF−) divertor configuration with drifts fully activated in ASDEX Upgrade. Compared to a reference case without drifts, the simulation in normal toroidal magnetic field configuration (B × ∇B points to the primary X-point) shows a larger low ...

Autoregressive long-horizon prediction of plasma edge dynamics

Nuclear Fusion
Accurate modeling of scrape-off layer (SOL) and divertor-edge dynamics is vital for designing plasma-facing components in fusion devices. High-fidelity edge fluid/neutral codes such as SOLPS-ITER capture SOL physics with high accuracy, but their ...

On the role of atomic momentum and molecules in self-consistent 1D scrape-off layer simulation of MAST-U, using DIV1D

Nuclear Fusion
In this paper, the 1D physics-based dynamic scrape-off-layer (SOL) model DIV1D is extended to include molecular interactions and the effects of finite atomic flow velocity parallel to the magnetic field lines.
