abstract = {A fluid collisional-radiative model for H2 has been
implemented in the edge-fluid code UEDGE and compared to the
kinetic neutral code EIRENE on a simple, 2D, orthogonal
domain with a constant, static plasma distribution. The
novel CRUMPET Python tool was used to implement dissociation
and energy rate coefficients that consider
molecular-assisted processes, binding energy, and radiation
due to molecular processes into the UEDGE fluid molecular
model. The agreement between the fluid and kinetic molecular
models was found to be within $20\%$ when corresponding
rates were used in UEDGE and EIRENE for a domain with
absorbing boundaries. When wall recycling was considered,
EIRENE predicted up to a factor of 2.2 higher molecular
densities than UEDGE at T < 5 eV. The difference is due to
the absence of radial gradients driving diffusive wall
fluxes and, thus, recycling in UEDGE and molecular
self-scattering in EIRENE, and is likely dependent on plasma
profiles and domain geometry. Comparison of the molecular
energy sources in EIRENE and UEDGE suggest the constant
elastic scattering rate coefficient used in UEDGE needs to
be updated to a temperature-dependent coefficient and that
atom-molecule equipartition should be considered in the
EIRENE model for background plasma density in excess of .
Finally, collisional-radiative CRUMPET simulations indicate
that the vibrational molecular populations become comparable
to the ground-state molecular population when the plasma
temperature decrease below 6 eV and, thus, require
time-dependent evaluation.},
