A spatially hybrid fluid-kinetic neutral model for SOLPS-ITER plasma edge simulations

Plasma edge transport simulations typically rely on Monte-Carlo simulations for the kinetic neutral transport. However, for detached operating conditions the dominance of charge-exchange reactions between plasma and neutrals leads to excessive computational costs of these Monte-Carlo simulations. Si...
