Participation in the implementation of other transport models in ETS. Development of the coupling with FMCFM interface if requested. Participation in testing of the other modules (NBI, ICRH, current diffusion) can be envisaged.Validation of the ETS code on MAST experimental data.Written validation report describing the comparison of the ETS workflows against MAST experiment or first principles based models.JET can provide datasets (subject to agreement of EFDA JET Leader) for analysis & hardware to run jobs for comparison with ETS solver results.ETS activities will be paralleled by studies of fast transient phenomena on MAST (pellet injection) taking advantage of the new high spatial and temporal resolution Thomson scattering system.NOTE: In the Call it states that Priority and Baseline Support are available for this Task, but only Priority Support is available in ECOM. CCFE could split this proposal between Priority and Baseline if required.

IPPLM Roman Stankiewicz PS 0.5 0.5 Verification and validation of the ETS for stiff transport problem.Testing of the ETS for stiff transport and barrier dynamics for the analytical transport model for barrier. The task is the continuation of the work done in the frame of WP10-ITM-IMP3. The manufactured method of analytical solution generation was developed for discontinuous model of diffusion coefficients leading to transport barrier. The goal of verification is to check the numerical methods used in the ETS and extend the method of verification to continuous model of diffusion coefficient. The tests will be performed in order to check if the numerical procedure implemented in ETS can reproduce the position of transport barrier and its dynamics given by the analytical solutions. Also the verification of the ETS against the empirical data will be performed. The activity in the task will be carrying on in 2011 with test of the ETS combined with equilibrium and elaborated transport model in context of application to ITER.

Implementation and integration of edge codes

CEA Xavier Bonnin PS 0.17 0.17 Continuation of the development and implementation of edge CPOs (including core-edge coupling), continued development/implementation of edge codes.- Progress towards establishment of a wall CPO data structure- Participation in the implementation of the edge CPO data structures into SOLPS- Delivery of an ITM-compatible 2-D field-aligned quadrangular grid generator (CARRE_ITM) for use with SOLPS and other edge codes (work within Kepler and with CPO I/O)
Greece Cyprus George Georghiou PS 0.2 0.2 Implementation and integration of edge codes Topical Group/Item number: ITM-10-IMP3-ACT4Following the implementation of the collisional non-equilibrium plasma model in the context of electro-hydrodynamics, which describes charged particles (electrons-ions) and neutral transport properties coupled to the field and thermal equations [1, 2, 3], we intend to extend our model to handle edge plasma and scrap-off-layer modeling of a Tokamak. The existing model can describe the evolution of non-equilibrium plasma in a three dimensional setting, incorporating adaptive meshing and complex models to account for secondary processes such as photoionisation. The next step is to implement Branginskii’s fluid equations coupled with neutral transport in order to characterize the plasma adjacent to material surfaces that comprise the divertor and first wall of magnetic fusion energy devices under normal operation conditions. Existing codes such as SOLPS and/or EDGE2D-NIMBUS are going to be extensively employed and in many cases extended to cope with the above phenomena.Analysis and in depth understanding of the physical problem, close collaboration with research teams working on this topic, understanding of the current limitations and further code development to deal with edge modeling that is related to turbulent transport will form the bulk of this work that addresses the implementation part of the call.A first level of understanding will be approached using simplified edge plasma models, (e.g. pure hydrogenic plasmas, neglecting drift and currents) where time dependent phenomena are included (Edge Localized Modes-ELMs). Then, the influence of impurities on the SOL plasma, in terms of production processes, radiation losses and transport, will be also examined as well as the effects of ExB drift, radial diamagnetic currents that contribute to the local current divergence and the anomalous turbulent transport.Further contribution in this call includes our participation in the integration part which refers to the adaptation of the edge codes in the Gateway. Support on the syntax of CPO’s and on the functioning of core-edge coupling in Kepler in close collaboration with the people with expertise in edge codes is intended.Furthering our expertise in the above tasks lies within our priorities and our intention is to contribute actively within the edge plasma modeling framework.[1] Georghiou G E, Papadakis A P, Morrow R and Metaxas A C 2005, Numerical modeling of atmospheric pressure gas discharges leading to plasma production J.

David Coster PS 0.08 0.08 Work on implementing SOLPS on gateway and coupling core-edge.
TEKES Seppo Sipilä PS 0.5 0.5 Implementation of CPO I/O in ASCOT
  1. The Monte Carlo orbit-following code ASCOT has been installed on the Gateway. A wrapper code for reading input data to ASCOT from CPO's is under construction, and more than half of the input data required for an axisymmetric case (with 2D magnetic background and wall) have so far been read from available CPO data.
  2. This work is a continuation of Tekes' 2009 task under ITM-09-IMP3-T7. In 2010, more code will be added for reading the remaining input quantities and inputs for more complicated cases. These include a 3D wall structure, 3D magnetic background, 2D (R,z) neutral n & T data for the main plasma, 2D (R,z) SOL charged particle & neutral n & T data and prescribed radial electric field profile (vs. rho_poloidal). The work will be done as these CPO's are defined and data becomes available.
  3. As ASCOT can produce a wide variety of outputs (test particle orbit data, numerous distributions in velocity and configuration space, wall loads, neutral particle analyzer simulation data, etc.), it is foreseen that the capability to create the corresponding output in CPO form will be added as the need for them arises, once the required CPO's are defined and added to the data structure.
Markus Airila PS 0.33 0.33 Implementation of CPO I/O in ERO
  1. The 3D Monte Carlo plasma-wall interaction / impurity transport code ERO is running on Gateway. Various transformation routines exist for reading and interpolating 2D fluid code plasma parameters into ERO e.g. from SOLPS and EDGE2D output formats.
  2. The ERO related work of Tekes 2009 task ITM-09-IMP3-T7 was postponed to 2010 due to the lack of required CPO definitions and is proposed to be implemented within the present activity.
  3. A wrapper code based on the existing transformation routines will be written to handle the CPO I/O. ERO requires magnetic field, density, temperature and flow velocity data as input. As output, impurity densities and emission intensities can be provided in a 3D Cartesian grid over the simulation volume, and surface related quantities (e.g. net and gross erosion and deposition rates, composition changes) in a 2D Cartesian grid over the surface.
  4. The activity will be carried out in collaboration with FZJ and start after the edge CPO definitions have been confirmed.
ENEA - Frascati Fabio Subba PS 0.08 0.08 Design of edge data structure, to complete the plasma edge CPO proposal.

SOLPS solutions for the plasma background are validated against multiple measurements taken along the plasma midplane and outer divertor target, and drift effects are studied in forward and reversed Bt/Ip directions. ERO simulations are compared with the 13C deposition measured by nuclear reaction analysis and spectroscopy. Particular emphasis is given to improve the plasma background description (from SOLPS) in ERO, and comparisons between the 2D SOLPS background and the DIVIMP onion-skin model are foreseen for 2010. The work has been ongoing for 2 years and it is done in close collaboration with the IPP Garching edge plasma physics group (D. Coster), Forschungszentrum Juelich ERO modelling group (A. Kirschner) and the ASDEX Upgrade Team.
