Heat loads on tokamak divertors

Financiers

The project focuses on understanding and predicting heat flows on fusion reactor components that are in direct contact with plasma and where the material is exposed to extreme thermal loads. The main objective is to develop and optimise numerical tools that take into account the influence of strong magnetic fields on the motion of charged particles, thereby enabling a more accurate assessment of heat flow distribution, particularly in narrow gaps between monoblocks and at their edges. The results will contribute to better component design and greater reliability of future fusion reactors, such as ITER. The project also includes validation on supercomputers and knowledge transfer to the wider scientific community.
