WesterholtAbstractThe problem of plasma wall interaction and impurity control is one of the remaining criti cal issues for development of an industrial energy source based on nuclear fusion of lightisotopes. In this field sophisticated integrated numerical tools are widely used both forthe analysis of current experiments and for predictions guiding future device design. Thepresent work is dedicated to the numerical modelling of the edge plasma region in divertorconfigurations of large scale tokamak fusion devices. A well established software tool forthis kind of modelling is the B2 EIRENE code. It was originally developed for a relativelyhot ( 10 eV) “high recycling divertor”.
