FIREWALL: A surrogate model for the rapid assessment of tokamak wall loading and melting by runaway electrons

Victor Johan Svensson, Tommaso Rizzi, Svetlana Ratynskaia +4

Runaway electron (RE) beams generated during tokamak disruptions can deposit highly localized heat loads on plasma-facing components, posing a serious risk of melting and damage. M…

Runaway electron induced explosions of graphite; modeling versus controlled DIII-D experiments

T. Rizzi, A. Kavroulakis, S. Ratynskaia +10

The state-of-the-art concerning the modeling of the thermomechanical response of graphite to runaway electron (RE) impact is based on one-way coupled linear thermoelasticity combin…

Thermal modeling of runaway electron induced damage in the SPARC tokamak

T. Rizzi, K. Paschalidis, S. Ratynskaia +6

The integrity of plasma-facing components (PFCs) in tokamaks is critically challenged by transient events such as runaway electron (RE) impacts. We report the first systematic anal…

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…

Modeling of runaway electron induced damage on boron-nitride tiles in WEST

Tommaso Rizzi, Svetlana Ratynskaia, Panagiotis Tolias +9

The runaway electron (RE) - induced damage on boron nitride (BN) tiles mounted on the inner bumpers of the WEST tokamak is modeled employing available empirical input and experimen…

Wall damage due to oblique high velocity dust impacts

Panagiotis Tolias, Marco De Angeli, Dario Ripamonti +3

Runaway electron termination on plasma facing components can trigger material explosions that are accompanied by the expulsion of fast solid debris. Due to the large kinetic energi…
