Research plan for divertor simulation making use of a large tandem mirror device

Journal article

We are planning to start a study of divertor simulation under the closely resemble to actual fusion plasma environment making use of the advantage of open magnetic field configuration and to contribute the solution for realizing the divertor in ITER as a future research plan of Plasma Research Center of the University of Tsukuba. In the research plan, the concepts of two divertor devices are introduced. One has an axi-symmetric divertor configuration with the separatrix which is similar to to...
