Kinetic Simulations of 1D SOL Plasmas with KIPP-SOLPS Coupling Code — •Menglong Zhao, Alex Chankin, and David Coster — Max-Planck-Institut fuer Plasmaphysik, Boltzmannstraße 2, Garching

In order to investigate the kinetic effects in a systematic way, the 1D2V kinetic Vlasov-Fokker-Planck (VFP) code KIPP has been coupled to SOLPS to treat electron parallel transport kinetically. KIPP-SOLPS coupling code allows us to incorporate kinetic electrons into the already sophisticated fluid model (B2) self consistently. The simulation results of KIPP-SOLPS with pure deuterium and with carbon impurity in 1D geometry with stagnation point upstream and target downstream will be presented. These results are then compared to the results of only SOLPS simulation with or without heat flux limiter. Finally the cases with only SOLPS but including modified heat transmission coefficient are compared with KIPP-SOLPS coupling cases.
