An electron kinetic code is used to simulate lonqitudinal transport and recycling near the neutralizer plate in a divertor plasma. In addition to the standard features, such as e-β’ and e-i Coulomb collisions, transport, ion motion, and a self-consistent eleCtric field, the code now accounts for ioni

β¦ Synopsis
We have inodellrd the tr:msport of puticles :ind energy through a tokamak SOL near the neutrdizer plate.
The electron kinetichon lluid code FPI and a two-fluid code were employed for this study. Becnuse of the electron time scale. it wwld ~ake a very long time to rach strndy state with the kinetic code. We have therefore developed ii hyhrid technique. using hoth codes in ;dtern;ltion, to w c h :I full equilibrium compatible with electron kinetics.
When it is used in the stand-alone mode. the two-fluid code's results .are closest to FPI if a heat flux limiter f4.2 is used. The electron distribution function is very non-Maxwellian nenr the plate.
