Disruption Simulation Code for Tokamaks and ITER Applications

Arguably the most important issue facing the further development of magnetic fusion via advanced tokamaks is to predict, avoid, or mitigate disruptions, which recently became the hottest challenging topic in fusion research because of several potentially damaging effects, which can impact the ITER device. The DSC will solve the resistive reduced 3D MHD model in the real geometry of the conducting structure of the tokamak vessel, utilizing the adaptive meshless technique and will finally be parallelized. The DSC will be calibrated against the JET disruption data and will be capable of predicting the disruption effects in ITER, as well as contributing to the development of the disruption mitigation scheme and suppression of the RE generation in combination with other numerical codes and dedicated experiments on tokamaks. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits: The DSC will support the US and International tokamak fusion programs. With the project
