First ERO2.0 modeling of Be erosion and non-local transport in JET ITER-like wall
Description
ERO is a Monte-Carlo code for modeling plasma-wall interaction and 3D plasma impurity
transport for applications in fusion research. The code has undergone a significant upgrade
(ERO2.0) which allows increasing the simulation volume in order to cover the entire plasma
edge of a fusion device, allowing a more self-consistent treatment of impurity transport and
comparison with a larger number and variety of experimental diagnostics. In this contribution,
the physics-relevant technical innovations of the new code version are described and discussed.
The new capabilities of the code are demonstrated by modeling of beryllium (Be) erosion of the
main wall during JET limiter discharges. Results for erosion patterns along the limiter surfaces
and global Be transport including incident particle distributions are presented. A novel synthetic
diagnostic, which mimics experimental wide-angle 2D camera images, is presented and used for
validating various aspects of the code, including erosion, magnetic shadowing, non-local
impurity transport, and light emission simulation.
