Cross-code comparison of the edge codes SOLPS-ITER, SOLEDGE2D and UEDGE in modelling a high-power neon-seeded scenario in the DTT by M. Moscheni, M. Wigram, H. Wu, C. Meineri, C. Carati, E. De Marchi, M. Greenwald, P. Innocente, B. LaBombard, F. Subba, R. Zanino

“…An appreciable impurity particle imbalance, generated by the neon ion density floor, is noted—speculatively contributing to SOLEDGE2D’s different radiation emission distribution, and expected to be even more deleterious for high- Z impurities in all the codes. Potential drivers of further discrepancies are the different Braginskii formulations of collision times and momentum sources in presence of impurities, and the SOLPS-ITER extra terms gaining importance around the detachment front. …”
