The design, construction and operation of advanced divertors have been the main topics of
tokamak research during the last decade. The design of these divertors (carried out with two …

Magnetic-fusion plasmas are complex self-organized systems with an extremely wide range
of spatial and temporal scales, from the electron-orbit scales (∼ 10− 11 s,∼ 10− 5 m) to the …

The EIRENE neutral gas transport Monte Carlo code has been developed initially for
TEXTOR since the early 1980s. It is currently applied worldwide in most fusion laboratories …

The basic physics of the processes playing the most important role in divertor plasma
detachment is reviewed. The models used in the two-dimensional edge plasma transport …

The paper presents a review of the development of edge plasma modeling at ITER and of its
interaction with the evolving divertor design. The SOLPS (B2-Eirene) code has been …

This paper presents the results of a preliminary assessment conducted to estimate the
thermal response and erosion lifetime of the ITER divertor targets clad either with carbon …

METIS is a numerical code aiming at fast full tokamak plasma analyses and predictions. It
combines 0D scaling-law normalised heat and particle transport with 1D current diffusion …

A review is given of the status of various approaches dealing with tokamak edge related
issues by employing two-dimensional numerical fluid codes for the main components of the …

Long-pulse operation of a self-sustained fusion reactor using toroidal magnetic containment
requires control over the content of alpha particles produced by DT fusion reactions. On the …

Results of a detailed study of the parameter space of the ITER divertor with the B2-Eirene
code are presented. Relations between plasma parameters at the separatrix, the interface …
