The JOREK non-linear MHD Code

  • The non-linear extended MHD code JOREK resolves realistic toroidal tokamak X-point geometries with a G1 continuous flux-surface aligned grid including main plasma, scrape-off layer and divertor region. It is based on robust fully implicit numerics, and includes sheath boundary conditions, resistive wall effects, two-fluid effects and neoclassical flows, kinetic particle models, and further extensions. Main physics applications are the physics and control of disruptions and edge localized modes (ELMs).
  • The well established physics and numerics community around JOREK has strong connections to the relevant experiments, ITER Organization and the respective ITPA Topical Groups.
  • Main References for the JOREK Code:
