Determination Of Near-Sol Carbon Impurity Content Due To Divertor Target Leakage Using Carbon-13 Tracers Via Methane Injection On The Diii-D Tokamak, Jonah David Duran
Determination Of Near-Sol Carbon Impurity Content Due To Divertor Target Leakage Using Carbon-13 Tracers Via Methane Injection On The Diii-D Tokamak, Jonah David Duran
Doctoral Dissertations
Experiments with outer strike point injection of isotopically enriched methane (13CD4) in DIII-D L-mode discharges have demonstrated the ability to infer near scrape-off-layer (SOL) impurity density profiles based on: far-SOL collector probe (CP) measurements; a stable isotopic mixing model; and SOL impurity transport modelling. This work enables one of the first in-depth investigations on the source and transport of SOL impurities which could hinder performance of future fusion devices. Modelling by DIVIMP and 3DLIM of 13C SOL evolution is consistent with diagnostic observations and indicates that the buildup of injected impurities on plasma-facing surfaces must …
First Development And Demonstration Of Fiber Optic Bolometer, Seungsup Lee
First Development And Demonstration Of Fiber Optic Bolometer, Seungsup Lee
Doctoral Dissertations
The fiber optic bolometer (FOB) was demonstrated observing a fusion plasma for the first time, and 2D fiber optic bolometer was developed and demonstrated to have high spatial resolution. The FOB is a novel type of a bolometer that is theoretically immune to EMI. A bolometer that is a sensor that measure the power of the incoming electromagnetic radiation. The most common bolometer used in fusion research is a resistive bolometer that utilize resistors in an electrical circuit. Due to high electromagnetic interferences (EMI) in fusion environment, noise can be a serious problem in determining accurate plasma radiation. The demonstration …

Demonstrating The Use Of Multiple Experimental Techniques To Investigate Helium-Hydrogen Synergies In Tungsten, Wendy A. Garcia
Doctoral Dissertations
Polycrystalline W sample discs measuring 6 mm by 0.5 mm have been exposed to a low-energy (70 eV) He plasma using a low flux ( ) [1.3 times 10 to the 17 Helium per meter squared per second] ECR source located at the University of Tennessee in Dr. Donovan's laboratory. The samples were exposed to three different He fluences ( ) [5 times 10 to the 19 Helium per meter squared, 5 times 10 to the 20 Helium per meter squared, 5 times 10 to the 21 Helium per meter squared] at surface temperatures of ~300 K, 600 K and …
Validation Of Relap5-3d For Transient Simulation Of Lead-Lithium Systems For Fusion Applications, Nicholas Akira Meehan
Validation Of Relap5-3d For Transient Simulation Of Lead-Lithium Systems For Fusion Applications, Nicholas Akira Meehan
Masters Theses
With increasing development in fusion technology including the construction and subsequently planned experimental campaign of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), validation must be performed for simulation tools used in the design, development, and licensing of future commercial fusion systems. This thesis contains several validation studies for transient simulation of lead-lithium eutectic (PbLi) systems using the RELAP5-3D code. This validation analysis is performed initially using models of systems without the influence of a magnetic field to inspect heat transfer and pressure drop phenomena. The validation study then uses models of systems under the influence of a magnetic field to inspect …
