Modelling JET divertor physics with the EDGE2D Code

Introduction. Most single-null divertor tokamak experiments show strong in-out asymmetries in particle and heat fluxes connected to asymmetries in divertor density, temperature and radiation. As shown in many divertor tokamaks [1-4] and recently on JET [5,6], the imbalances strongly depend on the direction of the toroidal magnetic field (BT) and are thus most probably a result of particle cross-field drifts. Experimentally observed outer
