Optimal design of power and particle exhaust is key for future fusion reactors [1]. As the targets only resist a limited heat load, the high particle and power fluxes are a challenge for a single null (SN) divertor. A redistribution of these heat loads could be obtained using other magnetic configurations. Based on [2] it is expected that the fluxes decrease using a double null (DN) configuration.
In this contribution, we study a DN configuration at EAST. The distribution of power between the inner and outer divertor is influenced by the transport of the plasma particles. Therefore the difference in particle (cross-field) flows between SN and DN configuration is studied. For this study SOLPS-ITER simulations [3] are used as it includes drifts and flows self-consistently. Based on the first modeling results the transport in EAST SN and DN cases are compared. In [4] it is shown that drifts are important in the transport for SN discharges. For the EAST DN discharges this is studied in this contribution.
