A three-dimensional model for the numerical simulation of transport in the edge plasma of modern fusion devices is developed. The model is based on the Braginskii set of equations which are solved with the help of a Monte Carlo method by three-dimensional plasma transport code E3D. The multiple coordinate system approach and interpolated cell mapping technique used in E3D allow us to avoid artificial numerical cross-field transport due to a high anisotropy of Braginskii equations in the case of general magnetic configurations including ergodic regions. The complete self-consistent set of fluid equations (equations for the density, parallel momentum, ion and electron temperatures) has been successfully implemented in E3D. A stabilization method for iterating coupled momentum and density equations is discussed. |
