Spainniels.horsten@aalto.fiFor aJET-ITER like
wallL-modelow-recycling plasmafrom Ref. [1],
$SOLPS-ITERpredictsa10\%$ higher particle flux and a $30\%$
higher total energyfluxtothedivertor targetscompared to
EDGE2D-EIRENE for nearly identical inputparameter settings.
In this contribution,we describe the causes for these
discrepanciesin low-recycling, high-recycling and detached
divertor conditions.The simulationsare validated against
Langmuir probe data at the divertor targetsfor an electron
density scan at outer midplane separatrix.In addition, we
explorethe performance ofthe spatially hybrid fluid-kinetic
approachin SOLPS-ITER, where a deterministicfluid modelfor
the deuteriumatoms in the plasma grid region is coupled to a
kinetic Monte Carlo model in the vacuum regionsnear the main
chamber wall and in the far private flux region. Prior work
has proventhe accuracy of a fluid neutral
approximationforion-atom charge-exchange dominated cases[2]
and theCPU time reduction potentialwith at leasta factor
fourby using a spatially hybrid model [3].In contrast to
Ref. [3], in whichonly a simplified rectangular slab casewas
considered,without explicit treatment of the molecules, we
apply the hybrid model for thedeuterium atomsin arealistic
JET geometry. Firstly, the non-orthogonality of the
numerical grid in combination with the isotropic character
of the neutral particles requires the use of a 9-point
stencil [4]. Secondly, the assumption of dominant neutral
flow parallel to the magnetic field due to ample ion-atom
charge-exchange collisions is verified in the presence of
electromagnetic drifts.Finally, thehybrid model forthe atoms
is coupled to a full kinetic model for the molecules.[1] M.
