Abstract
A Monte Carlo (MC) impurity code IMPMC has been coupled self-consistently with a divertor code SOLDOR/NEUT2D by overcoming the intrinsic problems of MC modelling for impurity transport. MC modelling is required for impurity transport in order to take into account the kinetic effect and the complex dissociation processes of hydrocarbons. The integrated divertor code SONIC enables us to investigate the details of impurity transport including erosion/redeposition processes on the divertor plates by further coupling of an 3D plasma–surface interaction MC code EDDY. The dynamic evolution of X-point MARFE observed in JT-60U is investigated. The simulation results indicate that the hydrocarbons sputtered from the dome contribute to the enhanced radiation near the X-point. The kinetic effect of thermal force on the He transport is investigated for JT-60SA detached plasmas. Without the recycling, the kinetic effect improves the helium compression, compared with the conventional (fluid) evaluation. This effect is, however, masked by the recycling at the divertor targets.
