A MAGNETIC-FIELD INDEPENDENT APPROACH FOR STRONGLY ANISOTROPIC EQUATIONS ARISING PLASMA-EDGE TRANSPORT SIMULATIONS

A magnetic-field independent approach for strongly anisotropic equations arising plasma-edge transport simulations

[Summary] The control of the power exhaust in tokamaks is still an open issue for the future fusion operations.The heat loads on divertor and limiter PFCs is largely determined by the physics of the Misc Fasteners Scrape-Off Layer (SOL), and therefore it depends mainly on the geometry of the magnetic surfaces and on the geometry of wall components.

CFD analysis and experimental comparison of novel roof tile shapes

In tiled pitched roofs, a ventilated layer reduces the heat transfer between tiles and roof structure by means of natural and forced convection, thereby also reducing the cooling energy requirement.This effect could be enhanced by increasing the air permeability between the tiles by means of novel tile shapes, as proposed by the HEROTILE European p
