Niehoff The ERO code ERO code management Modelling of CH 4 puffing in ASDEX Modelling of CH 4 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 (CH 4 or higher hydrocarbons) - C-deposition from background, re-deposition of eroded particles Local particle transport: - ionisation, recombination, dissociation - Ehrhardt/Langer or Janev data for CH 4 reaction chain - friction (Fokker-Planck), thermal force, Lorentz force, diffusion D ERO code management (1) Several users and developers: version controlling necessary CVS (Concurrent Versions System) server at FZJ Variety of versions ERO.LIM ERO.DIV ERO.LINEAR Main line of development CVS parallelisation ERO code management (2) Development of user friendly interface (JERO) in combination with ERO internet webpage Modelling of 13 CH 4 puffing in ASDEX (1) R [m] Z [m] ERO simulation volume 80 rotation B2-Eirene grid of divertor region ERO simulation volume (outer divertor): separatrix Modelling of 13 CH 4 puffing in ASDEX (2) Modelling of 13 CH 4 puffing in ASDEX (3) Plasma parameter (L mode) from B2-Eirene (D.
