Modeling plasma-wall interactions in First Wall-Limiter geometry
نویسندگان
چکیده
We test the standard edge plasma code B2-solps5.0 on a model First-Wall Limiter (FWL) geometry. The presence of a tangency point between the solid wall and the magnetic separatrix introduces a singular point in the geometry. A quadrilateral computational mesh can fit the given configuration only if it is highly distorted, constituting a severe test for any numerical scheme. The original 5-point molecule adopted by B2-solps5.0 fails to solve the plasma transport equations near the singular point. A correction scheme is proposed, which is equivalent to adopting a 9-point stencil. 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Accelerator-based ion beam analysis of fusion reactor materials
First wall components in controlled fusion devices undergo severe modification by various physical and chemical processes arising from plasma–material interactions: material erosion, its migration in the plasma and re-deposition. Ion beam analysis techniques play a prominent role in the studies of wall components exposed to hot plasmas. The intention of this work is to give a concise overview o...
متن کاملLiquid Lithium Wall Experiments in CDX-U
The concept of a flowing lithium first wall for a fusion reactor may lead to a significant advance in reactor design, since it could virtually eliminate the concerns with power density and erosion, tritium retention, and cooling associated with solid walls. Sputtering and erosion tests are currently underway in the PISCES device at the University of California at San Diego (UCSD). To complement...
متن کاملNonlinear modeling of the infill wall based on the brittle cracking model
Abstract: This paper introduces a new numerical method for the analysis of infilled steel frames with hollow clay blocks. This approach is based on the brittle cracking model of ABAQUS. The results of the in-plane calibration analyses obtained with four experimental tests are presented and discussed. The first test was a bare steel frame used as a control specimen. The second was similar to ...
متن کاملInvestigating the Ibuprofen Chiral Forms Interactions with Single Wall Carbon Nanotube
The aim of this study is investigating the transport mechanism of ibuprofen chiral isomers inside single wall carbon nano tube (SWCNT) using mathematical modeling. To achieve this goal, molecular dynamics simulation has been performed to evaluate the interactions of ibuprofen isomers with SWCNT in an aqueous solution. Results show that both chiral forms of ibuprofen molecules enter and remain i...
متن کاملGyrokinetic calculation of plasma transport with a material boundary
Both the radially outer wall and the limiter are investigated as material boundary conditions for electrostatic gyrokinetic full particle distribution simulation for axisymmetric tokamaks. Emphasis is put on conditions keeping the simulation stable with least effect on the plasma turbulent structures. Introduction While the gyrokinetic formalism and its implementation in numerical procedures ar...
