Abstract

Systematic discrepancies between 2D fluid edge codes predictions for scrape-off layer and divertor and existing tokamak experiments are described. Possible sources of the discrepancies, including incorrect implementation of the neutral model, the role of fluctuations in the plasma and non-local kinetic effect of parallel heat transport are analysed.
