Which PWI (Plasma-Wall Interaction) mechanisms are taken into account by modern nuclear fusion codes?

13 October 2020 0 7K Report

Modern nuclear fusion modelling codes such as B2(.5), EIRENE, SOLPS or SOLPS-ITER are known to implement a number of plasma-wall interaction (PWI) mechanisms in the divertor region. Some of these are radiation-enhanced sublimation, thermal evaporation and impinging particle back-scattering, described in a 2006 paper (Article Extensions to the SOLPS edge plasma simulation code to inclu...

), but I cannot find any further developments in terms of PWI and fusion codes. Is anyone aware of any such PWI interactions? Thanks in advance.
