Abstract
Abstract EAST was equipped with W-coated divertor plates and dome for the upper divertor, the remaining plasma facing components include the plasma facing components at lower divertor consisted of Carbon materials, at the baffles and main chamber walls consisted of Molybdenum materials. In order to study the control of W impurity on EAST with W divertor by an additional radiation losses, the radiative tungsten divertor with Ar impurity seeding for the control of tungsten impurity is studied by SOLPS-ITER simulation. The computational region includes the core, SOL and private flux region. The real geometry and material of plasma facing components (PFCs) are taken into account. The plasma species in the simulation include D 0 , D + 1 , e - , He 0 - He + 2 , C 0 - C + 6 , Mo 0 - Mo + 42 , W 0 - W + 74 and Ar 0 - Ar + 18 . The simulation results show that with the increase of Ar seeding rate at the dome the plasma temperature at the target plates and the concentration of W impurity in the plasma decrease. The simulation plays an important role in the study of radiative tungsten divertor towards the higher heating power and steady state operation.
