Abstract

We describe an implementation of a particle orbit-following simulation approach to the Monte Carlo calculation of neoclassical transport coefficients which has been developed for application to the H-1NF Heliac. We compare and contrast some Monte Carlo transport coefficient estimators that can be used in such computer codes, from both physical and computational perspectives, and we make recommendations for their use. Transport coefficient calculations are performed for the H-1NF in conditions that will be available after the full National Facility upgrade.
