Abstract

This work aims at modeling the ELMing H-mode of the experimental advanced superconducting Tokamak (EAST) using edge plasma code package SOLPS5.0. The steady-state H-mode is obtained by adjusting the perpendicular radial anomalous transport coefficient according to the given upstream profiles of experimental measurements (shot 36291). The downstream divertor region can be then modeled once the simulated upstream electron density and temperature agrees well with the experimental measurements. On the basis of the H-mode simulation, the effect of the drift on divertor targets power asymmetry and that of the power damping width of scrape-off layer (SOL) on the peak power density to the divertor target are modeled, the simulation results indicate that the drift (E×B, B×▽B) is one of the main reasons for targets power asymmetry, and the increasing of power damping width of the SOL will reduce the peak power load on the divertor target sharply; besides, due to the presence of interaction between plasma and neutral gas or radiation in divertor region, the effect of the power damping width on the divertor target power load is decreased.
