Axisymmetric predictions for mitigated and vertically unstable disruptions in ITER with runaway electrons
V. Bandaru, M. Hoelzl, F. J. Artola +2
We present two-dimensional global simulations of mitigated and vertically unstable disruptions in ITER in the presence of runaway electrons. An elongated plasma in free-boundary eq…
