Title: Edge Equilibrium Code (EEC) For Tokamaks

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1129013· OSTI ID:1129013

The edge equilibrium code (EEC) described in this paper is developed for simulations of the near edge plasma using the finite element method. It solves the Grad-Shafranov equation in toroidal coordinate and uses adaptive grids aligned with magnetic field lines. Hermite finite elements are chosen for the numerical scheme. A fast Newton scheme which is the same as implemented in the equilibrium and stability code (ESC) is applied here to adjust the grids
