The effect of neon seeding on plasma edge transport in EAST
Dieter Boeyaert, Stefano Carli, Wouter Dekeyser +6
The effect of neon seeding on different transport mechanisms in EAST is investigated by analyzing SOLPSITER simulations. By evaluating the agreement between experimental observatio…
Predicting the statistical error of analog particle tracing Monte Carlo
Vince Maes, Ignace Bossuyt, Hannes Vandecasteele +4
Large particle systems are often described by high-dimensional (linear) kinetic equations that are simulated using Monte Carlo methods for which the asymptotic convergence rate is…
Numerical implications of including drifts in SOLPS-ITER simulations of EAST
Dieter Boeyaert, Stefano Carli, Wouter Dekeyser +2
The inclusion of drifts in plasma edge codes like SOLPS-ITER is required to match simulation data with experimental profiles. However, this remains numerically challenging. In this…
Turbulent kinetic energy in 2D isothermal interchange-dominated scrape-off layer ExB drift turbulence: Governing equation and relation to particle transport
Reinart Coosemans, Wouter Dekeyser, Martine Baelmans
This paper studies the turbulent kinetic energy () in 2D isothermal electrostatic interchange-dominated ExB drift turbulence in the scrape-off layer and its relation to pa…
