Abstract

Power exhaust is one of the critical issues for future fusion devices, e.g. ITER. The calculation of power deposition is critical for the divertor design. SOLPS is the main tool for predictions of the Scrape-off Layer (SOL) and divertor conditions in the future fusion device ITER, where parallel kinetic effects in the SOL will play an important role. SOLPS uses a collisional fluid model which does not take kinetic effects into account. The present work has enabled SOLPS in its 1D version to incorporate electron kinetic effects by coupling it with the Kinetic Code for Plasma Periphery (KIPP). An iterative algorithm, which is made as an automatic process, is investigated in this work.
