Elaborarea unor coduri 3D pentru descrierea curentilor halo si a asimetriilor in tokamak, rezultati in timpul unor disruptii majore ale plasmei

Descoperite in 1996, la tokamakul JET, instabilitatile (modurile) “wall touching kink modes (WTKM)” sunt excitate in mod frecvent in timpul evenimentelor de deplasare verticala, “Vertical Displacement Events (VDE)”, cauzand forte laterale foarte mari asupra carcasei tokamak. Aceste forte nu pot fi acceptate intr-un tokamak. In timpul disruptiilor, circulatia curentului electric intre plasma si perete joaca un rol important in dinamica plasmei, determinand amplitudinea si localizarea acestor forte. O prima evaluare a acestor forte la tokamkul ITER a avut drept efect modificarea structurii de suport a carcasei acestui tokamak. Proiectul de fata asigura o etapa initiala in implementarea unui perete de carcasa 3D intr-un model magneto-hidrodinamic. Ipoteza de lucru, perfect valabila la scala temporala de desfasurare a acestor disruptii, este cea a unui perete subtire. Densitatea curentilor de suprafata prezinta doua componente : una de divergenta nula si cealalta de rotor nul. S-a reusit elaborarea unui model de calcul in care cele doua componente sa fie abordate in acelasi mod. Modelul si metodologia de calcul elaborate de noi au fost verificate pe un model cu solutie analitica, eroarea relativa, la o discretizare suficient de mare, a fiind de 0.001. Prin realizarea unor interfete intre codul nostru si alte coduri de dinamica plasmei, JOREK, de exemplu, se vor putea simula disruptiile in tokamakul ITER si JET, in vederea stabilizarii lor.
