Abstract
An electrostatic gyrokinetic guiding‐centre particle code is described
where electrons and ions are simultaneously followed in the edge region.
Full f technique is used for particle sampling and loading to
allow efficient treatment of strong time variation in the collisional
edge bulk plasma. Both the gyrokinetic ion polarization term and the
implicit electron term in the quasi‐neutrality condition are determined
based on the full‐f sampling for both electrons and ions. Issues
relevant for the SOL modeling like recycling, heat source, and boundary
conditions for plasma/wall interaction are discussed.
