ERO code development A. Kirschner M. Airila, D. Borodin, S. Droste, C. Niehoff • The ERO code • ERO code management • Modelling of CH4 puffing in ASDEX Modelling of CH4 puffing in JET
The ERO code 3-dimensional (at present 2D for divertor), Monte Carlo Various experimental geometries are possible (at the moment: TEXTOR, ASDEX, JET, ITER, PISCES, MAGNUM) Plasma-wall-interaction: - physical sputtering, chemical erosion (CH4 or higher hydrocarbons) - C-deposition from background, re-deposition of eroded particles Local particle transport: - ionisation, recombination, dissociation - Ehrhardt/Langer or Janev data for CH4 reaction chain - friction (Fokker-Planck), thermal force, Lorentz force, diffusion D
ERO code management (1) “Main line of development” CVS parallelisation ERO.LIM Variety of versions ERO.DIV ERO.LINEAR Several users and developers: version controlling necessary CVS (Concurrent Versions System) – server at FZJ
ERO code management (2) Development of user friendly interface (“JERO”) in combination with ERO internet webpage

Modelling of CH4 puffing in JET (2) • Zero sticking of hydrocarbons CDy, Ehrhardt-Langer • Location of injection: strike point Profiles of re-deposition for various incoming ion fluxes: Amount of re-deposition: 88% 89% 87% base plate vertical plate
Modelling of CH4 puffing in JET (3) • Zero sticking of hydrocarbons CDy, Ehrhardt-Langer • Location of injection: center of base plate (SOL) Profiles of re-deposition for various incoming ion fluxes: base plate Amount of re-deposition: 76% 72% 66% vertical plate
Modelling of CH4 puffing in JET (4) Summary: re-deposition of injected CD4 and C2D4 Injection at strike point: Injection at center of base plate (SOL): • No significant difference in re-deposition of puffed CD4 and C2D4 • Puffing at strike point: no significant dependence on flux • Puffing at center of base plate (SOL): decreasing re-deposition with increasing flux
