A Novel Demountable TF Joint Design for Low Aspect Ratio Spherical Torus Tokamaks
Authors: R. D. Woolley
Abstract:
A novel shaped design for the radial conductors and demountable electrical joints connecting inner and outer legs of copper TF system conductors in low aspect ratio tokamaks is described and analysis results are presented. Specially shaped designs can optimize profiles of electrical current density, magnetic force, heating, and mechanical stress.
