The formation and differentiation of the continental crust occurs at convergent plate margins in accretionary and collisional orogenic belts where sufficient heat is generated to achieve high-grade metamorphism and anatexis. Volumetrically significant H2O-present melting requires an influx of aqueous fluid along zones of high-strain deformation or via fracture networks, or recycling of the flui...

It is recognized both experimentally and computationally that the main damage of divertor in fusion devices such as ITER could be due to melting of metallic plasma facing components such as tungsten developed during plasma instabilities. Macroscopic melt motion and splashing with ejection of molten droplets into plasma are major concern. The computational modelling of uncoupled/coupled plasma–m...

Buchitic glassy rocks appear within the skarn of contact metamorphic aureole of Feshark intrusive complex situated 30 km northeast of Isfahan. Intrusive complex is a multistage intrusion . Noritic gabbro is the first inttrusion which is invaded later on by a granitic melt. Granitic melt has metasomatically altered the gabbro and as a consequence a suite of hybrid rocks like monzogabbro, m...

Due to excellent thermo-mechanical properties, tungsten (W) is considered as a promising divertor material in ITER, full divertor in JET, first wall in DEMO and ASDEX Upgrade. During plasma disruptions and ELMs the W material can be severely damaged because of macroscopic melt losses resulting in short lifetime and plasma contamination. Therefore, understanding the underlying forces and physica...

where Ws and WL represent the number of independent ways of realizing the arrangements of solid and melt respectively and Sf is the entropy of fusion. Each new kind of disorder which occurs on passing from the crystal to the melt involves a new mechanism of randomization on melting. Ubbelohde! has summarized the different ways of randomization in the transition from the solid to the melt as pos...

The high-energy density behavior of carbon, particularly in the vicinity of the melt boundary, is of broad scientific interest and of particular interest to those studying planetary astrophysics and inertial confinement fusion. Previous experimental data in the several hundred gigapascal pressure range, particularly near the melt boundary, have only been able to provide data with accuracy capab...

Melting of metallic plasma facing components such as tungsten (W) divertor, macroscopic melt motion, and melt splashing due to edge localized modes and plasma disruptions is a major concern in fusion devices such as ITER. The viscous stability analysis and computational modelling of coupled W-melt-plasma flows are performed using the developed volume-of-fluid magnetohydrodynamic code. The effec...

Defects during Plasma Transfer Arc (PTA) beam fusion additive manufacturing (AM) processing of Ti-6Al-4V, including lack of fusion, porosity variations, and solidification cracking, have been monitored using near infrared (1.62 μm) imagery at 300 Hz, 300 μm spatial resolution and melt pool sizes of greater than 12μ. The temperature evolution exhibits a periodic temperature modulation of more th...

The deposition of x-ray energy resulting from the microexplosion i.o an inertial confinement fusion reactor and the subsequent thermal response of candidate wall coating and structural materials is examined. Evaporation losses and resulting melt layer thicknesses for these materials exposed to a variety of different x-ray energies and spectra are calculated. Softer x-ray energy spectra absorbed...
