abstract = {Over the last years effort is increasing to employ Finite
Element Methods for plasma edge fluid-modelling. Compared
with commonly applied procedures, this method has the
advantage, that not-simply-connected domains with complex
geometrical structure can be described in detail. The
purpose of the presented work is to analyse these
considerations and to develop a two-dimensional
Finite-Element-Code. This code should be able to simulate
the plasma flow pattern in the burning chamber of fusion
devices by an exact and solution-dependent discretisation.
Firstly the generalized Navier-Stokes-equations are modified
according to the special features of the edge plasma. From
these equations fundamental conditions for the applicability
of the method can be derived. They are consistent with
criteria found at other laboratories. Based on this, a
numerically stable solution procedure is formulated. It is
capable to deal with the strong anisotropy in plasma
transport and the large velocity gradients arising in front
of the limiter. Reionisation and other collision processes
of recycled neutral particles are described by coupling the
fluid model to the kinetic Monte-Carlo neutral-gas-code
EIRENE. For comparison and fundamental numerical studies a
fast analytical description of recycling is also available.
Such rather crude approximations are employed in other codes
often as the only option. By this, it is now possible to
treat the flow of ions and neutral atoms/molecules near
complex surface structures of fusion devices consistently.
Because of the time step restriction in the special solution
algorithm, up to now the electron temperature profile has to
be provided from elsewhere. It can, for example be
interpolated from experimental data or from results of other
independent code calculations. The newly developed code is
applied to a typical TOKAMAK-discharge (TEXTOR) and
characteristic results are discussed.},
