Ferromagnetic forces acting on the EU-DEMO divertor
Fusion Engineering and Design, 2023 This paper presents an analysis of the mechanical loads produced by the ferromagnetic effects in the divertor of the European DEMO (EU-DEMO) reactor. The exact assessment of this force is an important prerequisite for a reliable structural design, for instance for a correct choice of the fixing supports.

Parametric Studies of the EU DEMO Central Solenoid
IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity, 2023 The Central Solenoid (CS) is at the core of the EU DEMO tokamak, and has a strong impact on the tokamak design and the overall machine size. By ramping its current, the CS generates a change of magnetic flux, which initiates the plasma, and induces and controls the plasma current.

Quench Propagation in a TF Coil of the EU DEMO
Fusion Science and Technology, 2017 The design of a suitable quench protection system is fundamental for the safe operation of superconducting magnets and in turn requires the accurate simulation of the quench transient. The quench propagation in a toroidal field (TF) coil for the future European fusion reactor (EU DEMO) is analyzed here considering the latest, layer-wound winding pack ...
