Prediction of Critical Heat Flux in Water-Cooled Plasma Facing Components Using Computational Fluid Dynamics
TL;DR: Several commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes now have the capability to analyze Eulerian two-phase flow using the Rohsenow nucleate boiling model as discussed by the authors, and several commercial CFD codes have been developed to analyze one-side boiling.

Electromagnetic Analysis of Forces and Torques on the Baseline and Enhanced ITER Shield Modules due to Plasma Disruption
TL;DR: In this article, an electromagnetic analysis is performed on the ITER shield modules under different plasma-disruption scenarios using the OPERA-3D software, and the results of the modeling procedure is explained, electromagnetic torques are presented, and results of modeling are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the present divertor design for the planned TPX tokamak, which will explore the physics and technology of steady-state (1000s pulses) heat and particle removal in high confinement (2--4{times} L-mode), high beta (sub N} {ge} 3) divertor plasmas sustained by non-inductive current drive.
