Linear plasma device PSI-2 with its continuous plasma operation is an excellent test bed for the investigation of plasma-facing material erosion including delicate effects like e.g. nano- and micro-scale surface structures and roughness. However, numerical modelling is indispensable for the correct interpretation of experiments. The 3D Monte-Carlo code ERO is a powerful and versatile tool for describing the erosion and local transport of impurities taking into account the particular geometry. The aim of this work is to incorporate the effect of surface morphology into the ERO modelling first based on free parameters matched with the experiments. Several experiments have already been carried out in PSI-2 facility to investigate the evolving surface morphology of tungsten (W) and chromium (Cr) and provide a consistent set of data for the interpretation with the ERO code. Generally, ERO simulation results are in a good agreement with the experiments.
