Design of a dee vacuum vessel for Doublet III

Description: The Big Dee modification project has completed the basic physics design and conceptual engineering design phase and is beginning detailed engineering. The project is funded in FY83 for completing most of the detailed design and placing orders for long lead components and systems. This paper summarizes the conceptual engineering design, especially of the vessel itself.

Conceptual design summary for modifying Doublet III to a large dee-shaped configuration

Description: The Doublet III tokamak is to be reconfigured by replacing its indented (doublet) vacuum vessel with a larger one of a dee-shaped cross section. This change will permit significantly larger elongated plasmas than is presently possible and will allow higher plasma current (up to 5 MA) and anticipated longer confinement time. Reactor relevant values of stable beta and plasma pressure are predicted. This modification, while resulting in a significant change in capability, utilizes most of the exis… more

Axisymmetric scrape-off plasma transport

Description: The two-dimensional flow of a collision dominated hydrogen scrape-off plasma in an axisymmetric tokamak is examined. This flow is described by a set of equations which contain the dominant terms in a maximal ordering appropriate to high density experimental divertors and reactor scrape-off plasmas. Comparison of the theory to estimates of scrape-off parameters in the Doublet III expanded boundary plasmas suggests that analysis of classical and neoclassical processes alone may be sufficient to p… more

Resonant-cavity ICRF coupler for large tokamaks

Description: A new resonant-cavity ICRF coupler is proposed for large tokamaks. The design features a novel resonant cavity, an rf magnetic-field orientation that effectively radiates fast Alfven waves, matching to 40 ..cap omega.. transmission lines, and an electric-field orientation so that the strongest rf electric fields are orthogonal to the main toroidal magnetic field thereby benefitting from magnetic insulation. As a result, the power handling capability is excellent. For the case of the Big-Dee Dou… more
