Abstract

B2-Eirene is one of the standard SOL transport code packages used worldwide for various devices. We describe the newest B2 version introducing both new physics and numerics. Especially, the effect of drifts on field reversal scenarios are discussed for ASDEX Upgrade: the ExB drifts are quite important for multifluid cases, where they lead to a switch of the asymmetry of the divertor loads due to magnetic field reversal.
