Abstract: The interaction of plasma with plasma-facing components (PFCs) in tokamaks is of increasing interest because of implications for ITER and next-step devices. The heat and particle fluxes interacting with solid objects can be studied by means of particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. The aim of this work is to use the existing family of PIC codes SPICE to simulate the heat and particle flux distribution on PFCs. The output of the simulations is then used in new heat equation solver, which calculates the temperature of the PFCs. This solver provides us a testbed for the parallel sparse matrix code development as well as for the complex application aimed at study of the melting of tiles.
