The roughness of metallic surfaces has a vital impact on the erosion of plasma-facing materials. Roughness determines the effective sputtering yield Yeff of the facing material. The angular/energy distribution of sputtered particles, and the spatial erosion and deposition distribution. The model for simulation the effect of the surface roughness was earlier implemented into the 3D Monte-Carlo code ERO2.0 and validated using results of ion beam experiments and experiments in the linear plasma device PSI-2. In the present study the developed ERO2.0 surface morphology model was applied to the JET-ILW tungsten (W) divertor consisting of smooth bulk W and W-coated CFC components. Influence of the surface roughness on the W erosion as well as on the transport of sputtered material in conditions of inclined magnetic field was investigated. Simulation results are in a good agreement with existing experimental findings. © 2021
