Abstract:The ITER upper vertical stabilization (VS) coil is a part of the ITER in-vessel coil (IVC) system, which has the abilities of restraining edge localized modes (ELMs) and maintaining plasma vertical stability. Preliminary structural analysis of the coil has revealed serious thermal stress problems. Due to the very restricted geometry space, it is necessary to perform detailed analysis on thermal and hydraulic characteristics to help optimal design of the coil. It will focus on the temperature distribution and e… Show more
