Feedback system for divertor impurity seeding based on real-time measurements of surface heat flux in the Alcator C-Mod tokamak [PDF]
Mitigation of the intense heat flux to the divertor is one of the outstanding problems in fusion energy. One technique that has shown promise is impurity seeding, i.e., the injection of low-Z gaseous impurities (typically N2 or Ne) to radiate and ...

Electromagnetic turbulence simulation of tokamak edge plasma dynamics and divertor heat load during thermal quench [PDF]
The edge plasma turbulence and transport dynamics, as well as the divertor power loads during the thermal-quench phase of tokamak disruptions, are numerically investigated with BOUT++’s flux-driven six-field electromagnetic turbulence model.

The high-heat flux testing of an interceptive device for an intense proton beam [PDF]
An interceptive device referred to here as a scraper has been designed and tested for use in a diagnostic device. The scraper will be used to probe a proton beam in order to detect the formation of beam halo. Probing the proton beam exposes the scraper to high heat fluxes on the order of 610 kW/cm.

Sustained North Atlantic warming drove anomalously intense MIS 11c interglacial
The Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 11c interglacial and its preceding glacial termination represent an enigmatically intense climate response to relatively weak insolation forcing.

Conductive Heat Transfer in Materials under Intense Heat Flows
The paper presents the solution of the spatial transient problem of the impact of a moving heat flux source induced by the laser radiation on the surface of a half-space using the superposition principle and the method of transient functions.

Studies on heat transfer characteristics of vapor chamber under periodic-pulsed heat source
In a high-power microwave device, the intense electron beam causes a high-heat-flux on the collector’s inner surface which results in an instant temperature increase which eventually causes the output power to drop.

The physics of turbulence localised to the tokamak divertor volume
Fusion generated within magnetically confined plasmas offers a promising route to clean baseload energy but the intense heat and particle flux generated in the process presents a major challenge for future power plant devices.

Investigation of heat flux intensity during composting of organic wastes
The authors present a three-dimensional model of organic agricultural waste, built on the basis of truncated cone. The movement of organic waste energy is modeled using a modified heat transfer equation, which includes volumetric heat capacity, chemical oxidation, and biological growth.
