This work present a modeling study to understand the influence of the limiter to the plasma and to find critical parameters for the liquid limiter concept. EMC3-EIRENE code is applied to a limiter configuration of a vertical column formed with plane surfaces at the inboard side of the Large Helical Device (LHD). The calculation results indicate that heat load on the helical divertor plates is significantly reduced when the limiter is inserted into the ergodic layer even without impurities. However, the influence of impurity radiation is too large in some cases. In order to achieve a large reduction of divertor flux and to avoid a large reduction of core electron temperature, parameter scans with limiter position and sputtering yield were performed. The results suggest that the limiter position is a critical parameter for acceptable degradation of the core and sufficient reduction of divertor flux.}, title = {Application of EMC3-EIRENE to Estimation of Influence of a Liquid Metal Limiter on an LHD-Type Fusion Plasma}, volume = {13}, year = {2018} }
