Abstract

Abstract Modelling of a tokamak with reactor technologies was performed with the new SOLPS-ITER 3.2.0 code version, which makes it possible to calculate the plasma parameters up to the main chamber wall. Basing on the modeling, the magnetic equilibrium discussed in the project earlier is compared to the new one presented here for the first time. It is shown that the equilibrium presented earlier can be dangerous for the main chamber wall due to the big electron and ion temperatures in its upper part. The divertor working regimes analyzed earlier using results from synthetic equilibrium and the standard code version SOLPS-ITER 3.0.8, in which the plasma is modeled up to the artificial boundary, are confirmed by more modern modeling described in this work.
