The major increase in discharge duration and plasma energy in a next step DT fusion
reactor will give rise to important plasma-material effects that will critically influence its …

The physics of divertors in tokamaks is reviewed, primarily from an experimental point of
view, although where possible simple analytic modelling is included. The paper covers the …

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 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 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 …

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 …

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 systematic fundamental molecular database for all isotopomeres of the hydrogen
molecule (H2, D2, T2, HD, HT, DT) is calculated on the basis of the latest Born …

We are currently rewriting the neutral gas transport code, DEGAS [1, 2], with a view to not
only making it faster, but also easing the process of including new physics. The goal is to …
