It is well known that the classical Spitzer–Harm–Braginskii expression for the parallel
plasma heat flux breaks down in the long mean free path limit, relevant to many practical …

During the past two decades there have been substantial advances in magnetic fusion
research. On the experimental front, progress has been led by the mainline tokamaks, which …

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 …

A heuristic model for the plasma scrape-off width in low-gas-puff tokamak H-mode plasmas
is introduced. Grad B and curv B drifts into the scrape-off layer (SOL) are balanced against …

The B2‐Eirene code package was developed to give better insight into the physics in the
scrape‐off layer (SOL), which is defined as the region of open field‐lines intersecting walls …

A reactive interatomic potential based on an analytical bond-order scheme is developed for
the ternary system W–C–H. The model combines Brenner's hydrocarbon potential with …

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 …

A new thermography system with high time resolution was put into operation at ASDEX-
Upgrade and is routinely used to determine the energy flux onto the lower diverter plates …

The understanding of divertor physics and the evolution of divertor detachment is crucial for
developing the capability to model power exhaust in current experiments and reliably predict …

A new small angle slot (SAS) divertor concept has been developed to enhance neutral
cooling across the divertor target by coupling a closed slot structure with appropriate target …
