Implementation of a 9-point stencil in SOLPS-ITER and implications for Alcator C-Mod divertor plasma simulations

The SOLPS-ITER code suite is used worldwide for plasma edge modeling, the interpretation of experiments, as well as for the design of the ITER divertor. The numerical scheme of the plasma solver of the code, B2.5, is based on the assumption of perfectly orthogonal grids in the poloidal plane, aligne...
