FreeMHD: validation and verification of the open-source, multi-domain, multi-phase solver for electrically conductive flows
Brian Wynne, Francisco Saenz, Jabir Al-Salami +5
The extreme heat fluxes in the divertor region of tokamaks may require an alternative to solid plasma-facing components, for the extraction of heat and the protection of the surrou…
