“…(B2-Eirene [1][2][3][4] is a code that couples together the fluid plasma code, B2 [5][6][7][8][9][10] and the Monte-Carlo neutrals code, Eirene [11].) The upstream profiles are matched quite well, figure 1, and the downstream profiles reasonably, figures 2 and 3.…”

Edge plasma modelling is discussed with particular emphasis on the comparison of a fluid neutral model with a kinetic neutral model. By iterative inclusion of additional effects, the agreement between the two is improved. Of particular importance is the proper treatment of neutrals at the core boundary, of the proper implementation of a neutral flux limit, and the modification of the ion heat boundary condition to include the neutral contribution. In the end, the agreement in the upstream profiles of electron and ion temperatures, and of electron and core neutral densities is very satisfactory. In addition, the effects of parallel ion and electron heat flux limiters, of transport ballooning to the low field side, and of drifts are investigated.

“…With the EIRENE Monte Carlo neutrals code [8] we use a numerically explicit time-dependent coupling procedure in which plasma source terms for particles, momentum and energy due to interaction with neutrals are derived from the Monte Carlo results. Similar coupled fluid plasma and Monte Carlo neutrals models, such as B2-EIRENE [9,10], have been routinely used for simulating divertor plasmas in several existing and proposed fusion experiments.…”

“…The codes currently being compared are SOLPS ("B2.5-Eirene") [1][2][3][4][5], EDGE2D-NIMBUS [6][7][8][9] and EDGE2D-EIRENE, all with Monte-Carlo neutrals; and SOLPS ("B2.5") [10][11][12][13][14][15] and UEDGE [16], with fluid neutrals. In order to remove one possible source of differences in the codes, all of the codes are using the same grid (the standard grid generated by the JET GRID2D [6] or, for some test cases, an orthogonal grid generated by UEDGE).…”
