Plot/SurfW: Plotting Utility for EDGE2D Output
Authors: W.M. Davis and J.D. Strachan
Abstract:
This report describes a utility that was developed to display EDGE2D results. The utility is
focused on results that relate to impurity density, velocity, and particle fluxes in the SOL and
divertor. Due to the complicated nature of 2D impurity sources, the concentration of the thermal
force near the separatrix and near the divertor entrance, the impurity flow pattern and impurity
densities are not necessarily easy to visualize. Thus, we wanted a utility that allowed simple and
quick visualization of the impurity behavior. In order to achieve this we overlaid the divertor
hardware for plots inside the divertor and we expanded the appearance of the main chamber SOL
by plotting distance along the field lines vs. SOL depth with the density (or velocity or flux or
other quantity) the false colour. Also, we allowed for the plotted variable to be a function of the
other EDGE2D result variables.
