Time-dependent modeling of coupled plasma-wall dynamics
Abstract
Effects of dynamic wall outgassing on divertor plasma during an ELM-like heat pulse are modelled using newly coupled edge plasma code UEDGE and all reaction-diffusion code FACE. Different divertor regimes are simulated depending on the degree of the plasma detachment. It is shown that hydrogen outgassing from the divertor target plate induced by ELM pulse in the semi-detached regime can trigger deep plasma detachment. The induced detachment does not spontaneously reverse after the pulse due to ineffective implantation of low energy plasma hydrogen in the target material. Furthermore, we demonstrate that plasma neutrals play essential role in heat transport in a detached divertor. The modelled hydrogen dynamics in the wall material demonstrates that the heat pulse leads to enhanced hydrogen transport toward the wall bulk.
