On the eve of component procurement, this paper discusses the present physics basis for
the first ITER tungsten (W) divertor, beginning with a reminder of the key elements defining …

Progress, since the ITER Physics Basis publication (ITER Physics Basis Editors et al 1999
Nucl. Fusion 39 2137–2664), in understanding the processes that will determine 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 understanding and predictive capability of transport physics and plasma confinement is
reviewed from the perspective of achieving reactor-scale burning plasmas in the ITER …

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 …

The ITER divertor design is the culmination of years of physics and engineering effort,
building confidence that this critical component will satisfy the requirements and meet the …

In high recycling and detached plasma regimes the recycling region largely defines the
properties of the whole scrape-off layer plasma by setting up the density and temperature …

In this paper, a new experimental classification of divertor detachment in ASDEX Upgrade is
presented. For this purpose, a series of ohmic and L-mode density ramp discharges at …

The limited thermal power handling capacity of the standard divertors (used in current as
well as projected tokamaks) is likely to force extremely high (∼ 90%) radiation fractions f rad …

Small perturbations and strong impurity exhaust capability associated with the small grassy
ELMs render the grassy-ELM regime a suitable candidate for achieving steady-state H …
