| contents | The 2-D edge plasma fluid transport code, UEDGE has been used to simulate the edge region of circular limiter plasmas of ADITYA-U for modelling the measured electron density profile. The limiter geometry of ADITYA-U has been introduced in the UEDGE code, which is primarily developed and used for divertor configuration. The computational mesh defining the limiter geometry is generated by a routine developed in-house, and has successfully been integrated with the UEDGE code to simulate the edge plasma parameters of ADITYA-U. The radial profiles of edge and scrape-off layer (SOL) electron density, ne and temperature are obtained from the simulations and used to model the measured ne profile using Langmuir probe array. It has been found that a convective velocity, vconv. is definitely needed in addition to the constant perpendicular diffusion coefficient, D throughout the edge and SOL regions to model the edge ne profile. The obtained vconv. is inward and radially constant with a value of 1.5 m/s and the radially constant D is ~ 0.2 m 2/s. The value of D ~ 0.2 m2/s is found to be much less than fluctuation induced diffusivities and lies in-between the neoclassical diffusivity and Bohm diffusivity estimated in the edge-SOL region of ADITYA-U tokamak. Furthermore, the transport of radial electron heat flux is found to be maximizing near the limiter tip location in the poloidal plane. |
