Development of a two-dimensional fluid code and its application to the Doublet III divertor experiment

Abstract

A two-dimensional time dependent fluid code has been developed for transport processes in the edge plasma of a tokamak, coupled with a Monte Carlo method for neutral gas behaviour. The code employs a particle-incell method for the numerical solution of fluid equations. A simulation of the Doublet III divertor experiment has been performed with this code. It has been confirmed that the radial profiles of temperature and density in the scrape-off and divertor region can be simulated fairly well
