  3. GOURDON GEOM ORBIT3D Future Capabilities • Parallized version  Many more lines • Capable of tracing guiding centers  ?? • Utilize GEOM  Faster run times, simple intersection data • T3E version  X1 at ORNL, Convert? • Inclusion of gyro radius  more accurate description of α loss • Utilize GEOM also? • Input PFC, FW, LCMS geometry  Tagged map of geometry

  4. The GEOM Code • GEOM = GEOmetric Mapping • Like MFBE, divides ROI into grid (NФ, NR, NZ) • Each “area” has unique numerical tag Areas = divertor region, between LCMS and FW, surfaces • Each cell recieves numerical tage via process of complex integration on point (like MFBE) Parallelized in the Toroidal direction Compute IM of contour around surfaces IN OUT “Tagged” 3D array of geometry Geometry of PFCs, FW, LCMS

  5. GEOM Conintued

  6. GEOM/GOURDON Interface • GOURDON reads in GEOM tagged mapping • Every integration step, it queries the tag cell If appropriate tag, GOURDON does expensive location calculation GEOM introduces no error • Saves time, easy to track intersection with PFC/FW (even LCMS) • Can be used to find intersection data for arbitrarily shaped surface.

  7. • Current GOURDON traces fieldlines • Use Lc to find approx. for heat flux GOURDON Output • Heat Loads, Peaking factors, etc

  8. • Trace guiding centers instead… Directly find energy deposited by particles Long Lc? Guiding centers… • What if Lc is too long for analytic model?

  9. Conclusion • New codes will be introduced to help in divertor design GEOM: Simple geometry input, speeds up GOURDON GOURDON: Parallelized, guiding centers ORBIT3D: gyro-radius, GEOM? • Need more advanced codes for final design?
