Abstract:In this paper, the framework for gradient‐based optimization of snowflake magnetic divertor topologies is discussed. A continuous in‐parts adjoint approach is adopted to calculate the gradient. A robust grid generator developed within the in‐house DivOpt code enables different topologies in an automated way. However, a large flux expansion exists near second‐order and closely spaced first‐order X‐points. This might induce significant discretization errors. As accurate gradients are needed for the correct funct… Show more
