Physics of ultimate detachment of a tokamak divertor plasma
TL;DR: In this paper, the basic physics of the processes playing the most important role in divertor plasma detachment is reviewed, and the models used in the two-dimensional edge plasma transport codes that are widely used to address different issues of the edge plasma physics and to simulate the experimental data, as well as the numerical schemes and convergence issues, are described.

The EIRENE and B2-EIRENE Codes
TL;DR: The EIRENE neutral gas transport Monte Carlo code has been developed initially for TEXTOR applications and can be used to solve more general linear kinetic transport equations by applying a stochastic rather than a numerical or analytical method of solution.
Finalizing the ITER divertor design: The key role of SOLPS modeling
TL;DR: A review of the development of edge plasma modeling at ITER and of its interaction with the evolving divertor design is presented in this article, where the SOLPS (B2-Eirene) code has been developed for, and applied to, the evaluation and the design of the ITER divertor for the last 15 years.
