Electromagnetic analysis of Forces and torques on the baseline and enhanced ITER shield modules due to plasma disruption

Kotulski, Joseph D.; Coats, Rebecca S.; Pasik, Michael F.; Ulrickson, M.A.

An electromagnetic analysis is performed on the ITER shield modules under different plasma-disruption scenarios using the OPERA-3d software. The models considered include the baseline design as provided by the International Organization and an enhanced design that includes the more realistic geometrical features of a shield module. The modeling procedure is explained, electromagnetic torques are presented, and results of the modeling are discussed. © 2010 IEEE.
