Massive gaz Injection

Participant : Boniface Nkonga.

The massive injection of impurity gas into a plasma has been proved to reduce forces and localized thermal loads caused by disruptions in tokamaks. This mitigation system is routinely used on JET to shut down plasmas with a locked mode. The DMV's injectors of JET have been modelled with all the 3D details (see Figure 1, 2 and 3) . We have performed many 3D simulations and the predicted flight times are in accordance with experimental measurements. Moreover, the computations give also a clear domain for the application of 1D approximations and scaling.
