Abstract
The long-term operations of the EAST experiments result in a substantial redeposition of impurities on the first wall, which is considered as the potential impurity source during the discharge. The transport properties of lithium impurity in the scrape-off layer (SOL) of EAST have been studied by the three-dimensional (3D) edge transport code, the EMC3-EIRENE. The neutral lithium impurities from four impurity source positions on the first wall have been used in the modelling. The detailed analysis of the relationship between the impurity source positions and the density profiles of the lithium impurity for different charge states has been carried out. It is found that the density profiles of the Li1+ ions are determined by the impurity source positions, whereas the density profiles of the Li2+ and Li3+ ions are not related to the first wall source positions.
