Improvements in the 2D TEP Neutral Particle Transport Calculation in Edge Plasmas (DoE Grant ER54538)

2005-10 , Zhang, Dingkang , Mandrekas, John , Stacey, Weston M.

Extensions of the 2D Transmission and Escape Probability neutral particle transport method in treating the spatial non-uniformity of collision sources and neutral energy effects are presented. These extensions have been tested by benchmarks against Monte Carlo calculations for specially designed models and for realistic DIII-D discharges. The comparisons indicate these extensions improve accuracy of the TEP method.

Extensions of the TEP Neutral Transport Methodology

2004-04 , Stacey, Weston M. , Zhang, Dingkang , Mandrekas, John

Recent extensions of the Transmission and Escape Probability methodology and its implementation in the 2-D neutral transport code GTNEUT are presented. These extensions address the issues of anisotropy of the neutral distribution function at the interfaces and the non-uniformity of the first collision source in short mean free path regions. Comparisons with Monte Carlo for a number of model problems are discussed.
