Field line reconstruction for edge transport modeling in non-axisymmetric tokamaks configurations

Symmetry breaking effects such as resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) present a challenge for the numerical analysis of divertor operation, because they require three dimensional models. One such model is provided by the EMC3-EIRENE code, which is based on a finite flux tube grid for field line reconstruction that allows to account for realistic, three dimensional configurations. We present the Field Line Analysis and Reconstruction Environment (FLARE) - a collection of tools for the analysis of the magnetic field structure. It includes a flexible grid generator which allows to set up plasma transport simulations for single and double null configurations (both disconnected and connected). This includes the ``snowflake minus'' topology, and we present an application for a ``near-exact snowflake'' configuration at NSTX-U. Recent edge plasma simulations for DIII-D and ITER include plasma response effects as calculated by the M3D-C1 code, and it is found that these configurations require a local adjustment of radial/poloidal resolution in order to maintain a reasonable level of magnetic flux conservation.
