Numerical simulation of the tokamak scrape-off layer (SOL) is an essential tool for the prediction of the conditions to be expected in future fusion reactors such as the ITER project, now under construction in Southern France. One particularly important is ...
Magnetic diagnostics for the new generation fusion reactor “ITER” are required to be extremely reliable since they provide measurements essential for reactor operation and protection, plasma control and for measurement of several parameters fundamental to ...
This work consists in an experimental study of the main parameters governing the transport of heat across an interface between two solids, when it is dominated by phonons. The main experimental tool used is Time-Domain ThermoReflectance (TDTR), which is an ...
The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) is an intense high-energy neutron source dedicated to the development and qualification of materials for the first generation of fusion reactors. The target facility will consist of a high flu ...
Peak heat fluxes arriving at the JET-divertor during Type-I ELMs have been successfully reduced by applying externally magnetic perturbation fields. The ELM-frequency in these plasmas strongly increases, leading to smaller ELM-size. The concomitant density ...
Lattice vibrations are the microscopic mechanism responsible for a large, if not dominant, contribution to heat transport in crystalline insulators. These vibrations are described in terms of phonons, collective excitations (or quasiparticles) in the form ...
Four ITER EC H&CD (Electron Cyclotron Heating and Current Drive) Upper Launchers will be installed in the ITER Tokamak to counteract plasma instabilities by injection of up to 20 MW of millimeter-wave power at 170 GHz. Each Launcher features a structural s ...
The thermal bridges constitute critical regions in building envelopes and they are created due to the interruption of the insulation layer. One of the many structural thermal bridges in building envelopes is created in balcony junctions because of the requ ...
The long-term objective of the European Fusion Development Agreement (EFDA) fusion materials programme is to develop structural and armor materials in combination with the necessary production and fabrication technologies for reactor concepts beyond the In ...
The precipitation hardened CuCrZr alloy is used in fusion machines for the heat sink of intensely cooled plasma facing components (PFC) due to its good thermal and mechanical properties. Albeit, the feedback from its application in Tore Supra (French tokam ...
