✦ Synopsis
Recently a three dimensional modelling of edge plasma transport in the TEXTOR-DED configuration has been carried out [1], using the 3D edge transport code, EMC3-EIRENE [2][3]. EMC3 solves the time-independent Braginskii's fluid equations for particle, momentum and energy [4], by a Monte Carlo scheme in almost any arbitrary 3D geometry.
At the application of EMC3-EIRENE to TEXTOR-DED, the code was tested in various aspects in order to find the feasible range of the application. In this paper, the results of the tests are reported and the validity of the 3D modelling with EMC3-EIRENE is discussed.
