The new code TOKAM3X simulates plasma turbulence in full torus geometry including the
open field lines of the Scrape-off Layer (SOL) and the edge closed field lines region in the …

Based on particle and energy balances, a reduced model is derived for the physical
mechanisms leading to the occurrence of stable and unstable X-point radiators (XPRs), the …

The transport of heat and particles in the relatively collisional edge regions of magnetically
confined plasmas is a scientifically challenging and technologically important problem …

A new open source tool for fluid simulation of multi-component plasmas is presented, based
on a flexible software design that is applicable to scientific simulations in a wide range of …

In order to model plasma interaction with full complexity of the geometry of PFCs, an
immersed method to impose boundary conditions has been implemented in the transport …

A new 1D divertor plasma code, SD1D, has been used to examine the role of recombination,
radiation, and momentum exchange in detachment. Neither momentum or power losses by …

The poloidal asymmetries of parallel flows in edge plasmas are investigated by the 3D fluid
turbulence code TOKAM3X. A diverted COMPASS-like magnetic equilibrium is used for the …

Collisionality is one of the key parameters in determining turbulent transport in the plasma
edge, regulating phenomena such as' shoulder formation', separation of scale lengths in the …

The interaction between a plasma and a solid surface is studied in a (1D-1V) kinetic
approach using immersed boundary conditions and penalization to model the wall. Two …

In the present work we investigate for the first time the 2D fluid transport of the plasma in
WEST during an entire discharge from the start-up to the ramp-down (shot# 54487). The …
