Thesis
Design, modelling and testing of high heat flux components for fusion devices
- Abstract:
-
The commercial feasibility of fusion energy requires advanced technological research, needed for withstanding more extreme conditions than fission or aerospace applications. One of the areas needing viable solution is the handling of high heat fluxes experienced by the wall surrounding the plasma, especially during off–normal transients. In such cases, the plasma can touch the wall, releasing up to GigaJoules of energy in milliseconds, which leads to surface degradation due to melting and ...
