SOLPS-ITER simulations of the ITER divertor with improved plasma-facing component geometry by A.A. Pshenov, X. Bonnin, R.A. Pitts

“…This leads to a drastic reduction of plasma temperature in front of the target plates in the far-SOL, eliminating any concern of tungsten sputtering from the divertor under stationary conditions at pn sufficient to achieve peak heat flux mitigation. Since the pumping duct resides beneath the cassette body and is less accessible for neutrals entering the sub-divertor space, increasing the fidelity of the divertor structure model leads to a decrease of the pressure at the pumping duct for a given pn. …”
