Abstract

In order to model transport processes in magnetic confinement systems, it is necessary to have information on the charged particle source. This in turn requires calculation of the inward flux of neutral particles. In this paper, a method for solving this problem in the hydrodynamic approach for the neutral gas is proposed. The average velocity of neutral particles and the spatial distribution of their density are determined. The obtained expression for the neutral density almost completely coincides with that calculated previously by solving the kinetic equation. However, the computational time required to solve the problem in the proposed hydrodynamic approach is much shorter than that in the kinetic approach.
