Reported is the first modeling of ITER H‐mode. Simulations were made with the code B2SOLPS5.2 with drifts and currents, which was specially developed for simulation of tokamak H‐regimes. The emphasis is made on the pedestal and edge transport barrier regions. It is demonstrated that the specific feature of the ITER discharges is the density profile in the edge barrier region typical for the low particle sources in the main part of the barrier. The density, temperature and radial electric field profiles are calculated for two values of the edge barrier width (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
