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.
