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