Abstract

The ERO code modelling for PISCES-B has been further improved and tested. The possibility to use coupled ERO-SDTrimSp calculations is provide. The achieved understanding of transport pattern (proved by comparison of simulated and observed light emission) allows to begin the modelling of the PSI processes on the PISCES-B target. With the present assumptions the ERO modelling can not reproduce the experimentally observed slow, however complete, C chemical erosion mitigation. The implementation of carbide in ERO leads to a stronger mitigation in line with the observations, but cannot resolve fully the other contradictions. Therefore, other mechanisms like diffusion or the change of the surface morphology should be implemented into the surface model of ERO. The new effects introduced in ERO can also affect the predictions for ITER.
