Simulation of Plasma Disruption Induced Melting and Vaporization by Ion or Electron Beam
نویسنده
چکیده
The exact amount of vaporization losses and melt layer thickness resulting from a plasma disruption are very important to fusion reactor design and lifetime. Experiments using ion or electron beams to simulate the disruption effects have different environments than the actual disruption conditions in fusion reactors. A model has been developed to accurately simulate the beam-target interactions so that the results from such experiments can be meaningful and useful to reactor design. This model includes a two dimensional solution of the heat conduction equation with moving boundaries. It is found that the vaporization and melting of the sample strongly depends on the characteristics of the beam spatial distribution, beam diameter, and on the power-time variation of the beam.

Plasma disruptions are considered one of the most limiting factors for successful operation of magnetic fusion reactors. During a disruption, a sharp, rapid release of energy strikes components such as the divertor or limiter plates. Severe surface erosion and melting of these components may then occur. The amount of material eroded from both ablation and melting is important to the reactor des...

The melting of a 64 ion microcrystal of KCI was studied by means of a molecular dynamics computer simulation. We used a central pair interaction with an inverse power law repulsion. The thermodynamics, kinetic and structural properties such as melting temperature, latent heat, mean square displacement, diffusion constant, radial distribution function and bond angle distribution are calculated. ...

We report the near-steady-state propagation over long distance of a 25 psec, tightly focused relativistic electron beam which creates, by radial ejection of plasma electrons, a focusing ion channel in a plasma of electron density smaller than the beam. A dense beam core, close in radius to the injected beam, which was nearly matched to the ion focusing strength, is observed at the plasma exit. ...
