A model of the limiter-divertor scrape-off region has been incorporated into the BALDUR one-dimensional tokamak transport code. Simulations of PDX and ALCATOR have been carried out for ohmic and neutral beam heated cases. In particular, we have studied how the edge conditions and energy loss mechanisms of PDX depend upon plasma density, and compared our results with analytic estimates. The sensitivity of the results to changes in the transport coefficients and scrape-off model is also discussed.
