Stabilization of EMC3-EIRENE for detachment conditions and comparison to SOLPS-ITER

Numerical access to cold divertor conditions in tokamaks with EMC3-EIRENE has been proven to be challenging, but is now possible for the first time after a linearization of the electron energy sink term from interaction with neutral gas. This is shown based on a 1D flux tube simulation, and consecut...
