3D modelling of thermal loads during unmitigated vertical displacement events in ITER and JET

F. J. Artola, A. Redl, S. N. Gerasimov +9

Predicting three-dimensional thermal loads during tokamak disruptions is essential for ITER yet remains weakly developed. We present a physics-based workflow that couples MHD simul…

Thermal resilience of the ITER tungsten first wall to runaway electron impact

S. Ratynskaia, K. Paschalidis, T. Rizzi +7

The fast volumetric deposition of multi-MeV high current runaway electron (RE) beams constitutes the most critical issue for the ITER tungsten (W) first wall (FW) longevity. Such r…

Runaway electron-induced plasma facing component damage in tokamaks

S. Ratynskaia, M. Hoelzl, E. Nardon +31

This Roadmap article addresses the critical and multifaceted challenge of plasma-facing component (PFC) damage caused by runaway electrons (REs) in tokamaks, a phenomenon that pose…

Self-consistent full MHD coupling of JOREK and STARWALL for advanced plasma free boundary simulation

Raffaele Sparago, Francisco Javier Artola, Matthias Hoelzl

An adequate modelling of the electromagnetic interaction of the plasma with the surrounding conductors is paramount for the correct reproduction of 3D plasma dynamics. Simulations…
