abstract = {Robust power exhaust schemes employing impurity seeding are
needed for target operational scenarios in present day
tokamak devices with metallic plasma-facing components
(PFCs). For an electricity-producing fusion power plant at
power density Psep/R > 15 MW/m divertor detachment is a
requirement for heat load mitigation. 2D plasma edge
transport codes like the SOLPS code as well as plasma-wall
interaction (PWI) codes are key to disentangle relevant
physical processes in power and particle exhaust. With
increased quantitative credibility in such codes more
realistic and physically sound estimates of the life-time
expectations and performance of metallic PFCs can be
accomplished for divertor conditions relevant for ITER and
DEMO. An overview is given on the recent progress of plasma
edge and PWI modelling activities for (carbon-free) metallic
devices, that include results from JET with the ITER-like
wall, ASDEX Upgrade and Alcator C-mod. It is observed that
metallic devices offer an opportunity to progress the
understanding of underlying plasma physics processes in the
edge. The validation of models can be substantially improved
by eliminating carbon from the experiment as well as from
the numerical system with reduced degrees of freedom as no
chemical sputtering from amorphous carbon layers and no
carbon or hydro-carbon transport are present. With the
absence of carbon as the primary plasma impurity and given
the fact that the physics of the PWI at metallic walls is
less complex it is possible to isolate the crucial plasma
physics processes relevant for particle and power exhaust.
For a reliable 2D dissipative plasma exhaust model these
are: cross-field drifts, complete kinetic neutral physics,
geometry effects (including main-chamber, divertor and
sub-divertor structures), SOL transport reflecting also the
non-diffusive nature of anomalous transport, as well as
transport within the pedestal region in case of significant
edge impurity radiation affecting pedestal pressure and
hence Psep.},
