Overview
• ERO modelling has been carried out for JET and AUG 13C divertor injection experiments, which both are characterized by:
• injection in outer divertor SOL at the end of campaign• similar magnetic geometry
• For JET a comprehensive 2D modelling study of global migration was carried out (J. Strachan)
• Interchange of data between ERO and EDGE2D modelling• The AUG experiment series has been continued and modelling
for later injections is in progress (L. Aho-Mantila & IPP)

Characteristics of the JET injection experiment
• Measurements of the deposition along poloidal and toroidal lines• Deposition found at different poloidal locations (i.e. also outside
outer divertor target)
• The injection is rather diffuse and toroidally distributed• Brings uncertainty to quantitative estimates• Puffing rate per injector is higher than in recent AUG
experiments
• Leakage to the top of baffle 15 to 50% of injection [J. Strachan]
• The gas enters the vessel through a shadowed area• Modelling the deposition in shadow with the 3DGap code (D.
Matveev, FZJ)

Local deposition in ERO vs. experiment
SIMS: 10.9% of C-13 on tile 7 and 6.1% on tile 8 [Coad et al. JNM 363-365, 287 (2007)].
Leakage 15—50% [Strachan NF 2008]
(10.9% + 6.1%) / (0.5—0.85) = 20—34%
- Reference case assumes re-erosion of deposits 10 times enhanced compared to graphite (i.e. E = 10)
- Deposition is smaller than in experiment
- With no enhancement the deposition is higher than in experiment
- Match to experiment is achieved with E = 2.5—7 (earlier studies find match with E = 3—5)
- Other uncertainties in the experiment than the leakage have been neglected

Assumption of injection as atoms in EDGE2D
• Atomic injection
• Simulations will be run with injection as atomic carbon @ 0.05 eV and 1 eV
• It has been found that the typical reflection probability of atoms is 0.3
• For comparison a methane injection case with S = 0.7 was run
• Analysis ongoing
• Change in deposition pattern seems significant in the higher injection energy case

ELM effects – about modelling
On top of the equilibrium obtained with the inter-ELM plasma background, successive ELM-peak and inter-ELM time steps were run (about 150 cycles)

ELM effects – erosion and deposition
Net erosion occurs during ELM-peak, net deposition between ELMs
Time evolution towards a new surface equilibrium, which does not differ very much from the initial surface state
Initial equilibrium net deposition value = 16.9%
ELMs on => 8% (transient)
New equilibrium at 16.2%

Preliminary estimations from 3DGap
• point sources in ERO for methane injection• sticking of hydrocarbon according to
literature, no erosion• ~45-70% of injected particles return to the
gap (ERO)• ~35-75% of these particles can be trapped in
the gap (3DGap)• iterations → increase of re-deposition
inside the gap
• >15% of puffed 13C amount might be trapped inside the gap

Summary
• Detailed modelling of 13C local deposition in 2004 JET injection experiment has been carried out
• The ERO + simple gap model reproduces measurements closely using the assumptions
• Effective sticking on hydrocarbons S = 0• Re-erosion of reposited carbon is enhanced by the factor
E ~ 2.5–7• Tile gap will be modelled in more detail with the 3DGap code
