Self-consistent neutral gas description in the edge turbulence fluid code GRILLIX — •Konrad Eder, Andreas Stegmeir, Wladimir Zholobenko, and Frank Jenko — Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, Boltzmannstraße 2, 85748 Garching, Germany
The edge turbulence fluid code GRILLIX employs a diffusive neutral gas model to describe plasma-neutrals interactions arising from ionization, recombination, and charge exchange processes [1]. This inclusion of neutral gas physics has been found to significantly improve the agreement of simulated plasma profiles with experiment data [1,2,3].
Presently, the model requires prescribing the neutrals density at the divertor, introducing a new free parameter to the code. As we move toward simulations of detached plasmas, we seek to alter this boundary condition in order to self-consistently describe the recycling fluxes at the targets.
For this purpose, a diagnostics framework has been developed to verify the implementation of recycling boundary conditions and assess particle conservation properties of the code.
