“…There have, to date, been few examples of liquid metal PFCs in fusion plasma experiments (CDX-U [2], FTU [3], T11-M [4], ISTTOK [5]) and none in a diverted configuration (though KTM [6] is beginning such development). Liquid metal PFCs include a set of technical challenges that require development before implementation into large machines.…”

“…When the magnetic field is only present the length required for capillary break-up to take place increases due to the retardation of the flow induced by the Lorentz force. These effects were verified in the experiments presented in [38,39] and conform with Weber's theory for capillary jet break-up [70].…”

“…Reference [41] explains Kelvin Helmholtz instabilities in the ejection of droplets from melted layers of tungsten in tests in the plasma gun QSPA-T. Other papers describe experiments on surface motion of liquids in ASDEX-U [37] and ISSTOK. In particular, Gomes and coworkers at ISSTOK performed extensive studies of Ga jets [26,38,39] with various nozzle sizes and flow rates in preparation for tests in ISSTOK with a Ga jet and a graphite limiter. They noted the minimum time to equilibrate flow increased with the nozzle size and that stability was lost for nozzles with diameter larger than 2.5mm.…”

“…Among the possible strategies to face the problem, interest has been attracted by the use of liquid metals [3,4], which, through evaporation, can shield and protect the reactor walls, both in limiter [5][6][7][8] and divertor chambers [9][10][11][12]. Among the metallic elements (Li, Sn, Ga) used in current experimental tests in vapour shielding of PFCs [4,[12][13][14], lithium has proved to be one of the most promising candidates as liquid material [15] in R&D of thermonuclear fusion, due to its high evaporation rate and to its low atomic number, which allows a e-mail: roberto.celiberto@poliba.it (corresponding author)…”
