With the ultimate goal to predict plasmas heat and particle fluxes in ITER opera- tion, more efforts are required to deal with realistic magnetic configurations and tokamak geometries. In an attempt to achieve this goal, we propose an adaptive mesh refinement method added to a fluid solver based on a high-order hybrid discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method. Based on unstructured meshes, this magnetic equilibrium free numerical scheme has shown promising and encour- aging features to solve 2D/3D transport reduced Braginski fluid equations. To improve its numerical efficiency, a mesh refinement based on h-adpativity is investigated. We describe here an adaptive refinement strategy on a reduced edge particle transport model based on electron density and parallel momentum. This strategy is illustrated in realistic tokamak wall geometry. Computations performed show potential gains in the required number of degrees of freedom against benchmark computations with uniform meshes, along with the poten- tial to give an automated, goal-oriented, mesh generation technique for edge transport simulations in 2D

The simulation of fusion plasmas in realistic magnetic configurations and tokamak ge-1 ometries still requires the development of advanced numerical algorithms owing to the complexity 2 of the problem. In this context, we propose a Hybrid Discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method to 3 solve 2D transport fluid equations in realistic magnetic and tokamak wall geometries. This high-4 order solver can handle magnetic equilibrium free structured and unstructured meshes allowing a 5 much more accurate discretization of the plasma facing components than current solvers based 6 on magnetic field aligned methods associated to finite-differences (volumes) discretization. In 7 addition, the method allows to handle realistic magnetic equilibrium, eventually non steady, a 8 critical point in the modelling of full discharges including ramp up and ramp down phases. In 9 this paper, we introduce the HDG algorithm with a special focus on recent developments related 10 to the treatment of the cross-field diffusive terms, and to an adaptive mesh refinement technique 11 improving the numerical efficiency and robustness of the scheme. The updated solver is verified 12 with a manufactured solution method, and numerical tests are provided to illustrate the new 13 capabilities of the code.
